Following the tragic death of pop sensation Whitney Houston in February, the singers official website<\/a> has increased exponentially in popularity.<\/p>\n

Following the death of Ms. Whitney Houston, her official website quickly felt the strain of millions of fans and curious internet users flooding to her site. \u00a0Alexa.com, a leading website traffic analyst, has shown a 1620% increase<\/a> in the sites 3-month popularity.<\/p>\n

Due to the extreme demand, the website was limited to a condolence page, partly powered by Facebook, which allowed fans to leave their messages for Ms. Houston and her family.<\/p>\n

Recently the full website has been brought back online and although the peak in demand has already subsided, the site is still seeing a hike from its usual traffic.<\/p>\n

The “How Will I Know” singer propelled to superstardom in the 80’s and 90’s and also branched out into acting, performing in the box office hit “The Bodyguard” alongside co star Kevin Costner.<\/p>\n

Following a marriage to RnB bad boy, Bobby Brown, the singer quickly went in to decline and never managed to regain the same status that she originally enjoyed.<\/p>\n

DPS Computing would like to offer its condolences to Whitney Houston’s family at what must be a very difficult time.<\/p>\n
