For a long time Fountn has been hosted on various managed hosting platforms to cover for their resource needs, paying serious costs to handle the growing traffic. While costs were growing, Fountn was not getting the ultimate performance and speed needs to maintain the growth.

With FluxRunner under the hood, Fountn has since been growing exponentially and continues to be a fast performing platform for designers.
