Zelfbouwmarkt’s request
Absorbing traffic peaks after a radio advertising campaign
The website is very important for Zelfbouwmarkt: customers use it to discover the range of products, check out the folder with special offers and find tips to choose the best products. Zelfbouwmarkt also regularly run radio and TV ads, and notices that many people visit the website shortly after they have been broadcasted. Zelfbouwmarkt was looking for hosting services that meet the following requirements:
- The website, based on a Drupal CMS, is quite heavy, with many pictures and videos. They must load fast.
- Every month, an average of 60,000 people visit the site, but the peaks generated by advertising campaigns must also be absorbed.
- No website downtime , which often occurred with the previous hosting provider
- Provision of detailed information about hosting, and a clear explanation is given about what caused downtime, should it ever occur
“With Combell, the loading speed of our Drupal website is much faster than with our previous hosting provider.”
