Combating Christmas website traffic issues
We are fast approaching the busiest time of the year for many online retailers. This coming Friday is known as “Black Friday” which originally comes from America but is fast catching on in the UK. It is the first Friday following thanksgiving in the States and is considered the start of the Christmas shopping period. The following Monday is called Cyber Monday is often when the majority of online Christmas purchases are made. With this in mind, retailers need to ensure that their website will cope with the increase in traffic not only on these days but right through the run up to Christmas and even in to the New Year (January sales).
Cloud hosting can offer a great benefit to businesses looking to increase their hosting space on a temporary basis. Cloud hosting allows a website to use as much or as little bandwidth as is required to cope with the level of traffic to a website.
