CAMPBELL, Calif., Dec. 3, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- NexQloud announced today a major milestone in resolving flash crowd and website uptime issues. Powered by the industry's first Human Identification engine, NexQloud provided websites—particularly e-commerce businesses—with instant DDoS protection and dramatically improved uptime.

Online retailers protected by NexQloud experienced uptime improvements despite sudden flash crowds and distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks during Black Friday and Cyber Monday. Websites were further optimized, leading to faster loading pages and better SEO rankings. The cloud-based service will subdue online traffic spikes this Holiday shopping season and enable businesses to achieve more profits.

NexQloud's fully automated service requires no hardware or software, and can be activated instantly. A Prerelease Program participant switched to NexQloud following a DDoS attack on Black Friday because the company was "losing money every minute the website is down." After a swift DNS record change, the affected server was immediately scrubbed clean and was ready for online shoppers in minutes. NexQloud also optimized the server's bandwidth reservation for increased visitor capacity.

NexQloud will help online retailers and small businesses realize a Holiday shopping season free from flaws of the Internet. Candidates will be accepted into NexQloud's Prerelease Program in limited capacity. Participants will enjoy NexQloud's comprehensive protection and uptime management completely free of charge for the duration of the program.

Sign up now and be amongst the first to experience the future of uptime management! The service will be available to the general public in 2014 with affordable pricing plans for websites of any size.
