Pornhub, MojoHost Make 12/17 Banner Day for Pineapple Support

LOS ANGELES—This past Monday was a landmark day for PineappleSupport.com thanks to PornHub.com and the staff at MojoHost. The charity site saw a 21,000% increase in traffic Monday over the previous day, thanks to Pornhub adding a clickable banner icon to its front-page logo in honor of the International Day to End Violence Against Sex Workers.

As you might expect, the sudden influx of that much traffic caused a temporary outage of the PineappleSupport.com website itself. A problem that made the site inoperable and unreachable by some who might need access to the therapeutic services offered by the organization free of charge to anyone in the adult entertainment community who may be in need.

“It’s rare for a site to have a twenty-seven thousand percent traffic increase without any notice; we weren’t aware of the promotion ahead of time, but we do understand the particular importance of PineappleSupport being up because of the life-saving services they provide,” said Brad Mitchell, CEO of MojoHost.com. “Getting the site back up as quickly as we did is a credit to everyone working here 24/7 on our technical staff, and we are honored to be the trusted host of Pineapple and everyone they work with throughout the year.”

As CEO of PineappleSupport.com, Leya Tanit was thankful for the attention that Pornhub provided and the infrastructure that MojoHost has in place. “As a charity, we are much more about helping people than about marketing or web hosting maintenance, so working with people who are at the top of those fields is truly gratifying. The visibility Pornhub provided today may actually save lives, simply by helping so many people to find PineappleSupport when they need us. Similarly, the reliability of MojoHost and their ability to solve any technical challenges so quickly empowers our own brand by showing people they can rely on our site whenever they need it.”

The full blog post published on Pornhub can be found here, and on the heels of a recent announcement to sponsor holiday dinners in several locations for adult workers, Pornhub is demonstrating their desire to make sure that the adult business is one that is also a healthy, safe and positive environment for all the people who make it such a joyous source of entertainment around the globe.

“We are thrilled with the overwhelmingly positive response we have received to the announcement of our partnership with Pineapple Support,” said Natalia Maurlan of ModelHub. “With so many positive comments from sex workers as a result, we hope that others will consider supporting our community in impactful ways as well.”
