38 Lemon has moved. The website outgrew its old home and has moved into a larger, more reliable, and increasingly secure dedicated environment. Blue Water Media supplied these relocation services for the 38 Lemon website.

38 Lemon end users will enjoy immediate benefits from the new dedicated server. The most recognizable difference to site visitors will be the site download and functionality speed of www.38lemon.com. This greatly reduces the number of quick exits (click outs) from the website, due to people abandoning their visit because the site may have been taking too long to load. The move to the new server environment is a big step forward in terms of overall site security, as well.

38 Lemon will greatly benefit from the added element of custom configuration to their server. In the last 3 ½ years, 38 Lemon and Blue Water Media have partnered to add features to the site that require special software and scripts to function properly, such as advanced search features and video content hosting. By moving to a dedicated server, more technically advanced features can be rolled out to the site. The added reliability and stability from residing on a dedicated server, in addition to the freedom to improve one’s site with little to no limits, are benefits that any site owner can appreciate.

Curt Schwab, President of Blue Water Media, is pleased with the move. “We are pleased with our long lasting partnership with 38 Lemon. The collaborative effort has yielded significant results both in terms of traffic and site functionality, but more importantly, the most important result is to the active users who regularly participate in the 38 Lemon online community. This upgrade in server hardware represents the unwavering dedication of 38 Lemon to continually improve the site experience for its visitors.”

About 38 Lemon: www.38lemon.com is dedicated to increasing brain cancer awareness from a patient’s perspective. Since 2005, the site has documented David Welch’s experiences with being a brain cancer patient, from initial diagnosis, to surgery to remove portions of his lemon-sized brain tumor, to additional surgeries, chemotherapy, and radiation treatments. 38 Lemon gives visitors a first hand look into his life and offers visitors a chance to interact with David and share their own experiences. 38 Lemon, Inc. is a 501(c)(3) non profit corporation.
