Johannesburg, 03 Dec 2003

The UK`s first search engine created to find the most competitive price on anything, anywhere, has chosen Rackspace Managed Hosting as its Web hosting provider. Launched in July 2003 by Live Leads Limited, www.money-off.co.uk is aimed at users that are already on the purchase cycle and that are actively searching for specific products. The site has already reached its sales targets for December with over 600 000 users logging on monthly.

Barry Wilding, chief executive officer, Live Leads, explains: "Live Leads is a performance marketing consultancy which uses the Internet to achieve cost-effective sales. The site took two years to develop and is based on the theory that the Internet should be used to create a beneficial two-way dialogue between clients and the consumer.Money-Off.co.uk is aimed at users that are already on the purchase cycle and that are actively searching for specific products.

"The initial success of the site has led to a large increase in traffic, something which we only expected to see taking place over a period of months. Rackspace has been fantastic and really flexible. Most hosting companies would probably have penalised us for the number of upgrades and changes that have been made to our server in recent weeks, instead Rackspace has offered us the best solutions. Our dedicated account team at Rackspace has stayed constantly in touch and this level of support has been invaluable."

Dominic Monkhouse, managing director, Rackspace Managed Hosting EMEA, concluded: "We are fanatical that each customer gets the right service, and with Live Leads we have been able to support the rapid growth of www.Money-Off.co.uk. Our people are there to be relied on both personally and technically to ensure the best service is offered, quickly and effectively."
