A server upgrade was imperative to the success of England’s largest community-led festival.
What we did
Made by Bridge looks after England’s largest community-led festival website with thousands of people gathering around England yearly to celebrate community, history and heritage. Digital agency, Made by Bridge planned ahead for significant increases in traffic during the busy festival season, which includes an annual mention in Martin Lewis’ Money Saving Expert newsletter.
During migration testing to a new, fully optimised, dedicated Cito server, ProStack engineers assessed application performance and capacity, by simulating visitor traffic under realistic conditions.
By implementing a robust server solution designed to optimise capacity and performance boosts, ProStack enabled England’s largest festival of history and culture to expand its reach online and engage a wider audience, without any signs of exhausting the server capacity.

The results
What they said
For years, we’ve encountered persistent issues when scaling up our servers with other hosting providers. These experiences caused a lot of uncertainty as we were left to carry out a lot of the migration work and monitoring ourselves. We were also left to self-manage our servers, which could be quite stressful if things go wrong.
This continued until we discovered ProStack Hosting. ProStack proved to be a game-changer by providing support at every stage of the process and we wish we’d found them years ago. Their expertise allowed us to execute the scale-up and scale-down procedures seamlessly, resulting in uninterrupted website performance, and handling the very high traffic periods with ease. With ProStack’s efficiency and responsiveness, we cannot recommend them highly enough.
