Red Apple Media Honors Assylum.com’s First Anniversary

LOS ANGELES — Premier website hosting, development and video streaming company Red Apple Media, is congratulating Assylum.com, and its affiliate program, DerangedDollars.com, for a successful first year of business.

Assylum.com is a hardcore anal sex and BDSM site focused on high quality production, niche content, and 4K content.

Based in San Diego, with data centers across the U.S. and EU, Red Apple Media has offered hosting services focused on membership sites and ecommerce since 1999, with fully managed cloud, dedicated servers, and collocation services, in addition to video streaming and encoding in the cloud.

According to the company, Dr. Mercies, the director of the Assylum website and DerangedDollars, had a vision to offer the latest in technology, including adaptive bit rate streaming for automatically delivering the best quality video, plus a responsive design so the site auto-adjusts to provide visitors with the best layout based on the device, and simultaneous dual audio tracks, which offer viewers the choice of listening to the performer’s own commentary or only to the action.

“Working with Red Apple Media to launch Assylum.com couldn’t have been smoother, despite the considerable technical challenges we had to overcome together,” Dr. Mercies stated. “Thanks to their brilliant and dedicated team, we were able to create a very fast site that attracts members while still keeping our server utilization efficient and cost-effective.”

“We were also able to combine existing best practices, such as adaptive video streaming, with entirely new innovations, such as dual audio track streams, to create a site that surpassed the existing state of the art,” Mercies added. “Of course, we also had the advantage of working with Mansion Production’s MAS and MPA3 software, which had the customizable power we needed to effectively automate the backend operation of the site.”

“With a super team in place, Red Apple Media, Mansion’s MAS and MPA3, and the direction for design and function from Dr. Mercies, the site was launched without any issues and conversions remain high,” Red Apple Media’s Steven Daris says. “We helped our valued new client Dr. Mercies with his encoding, suggesting the settings for adaptive bit rate streaming that would best show off his work. We continue to handle all the encoding services and will be upgrading the Assylum.com video encoding to our automated cloud-based system.”
