Leading Bulgarian sports website

A leading Bulgarian sports website needed a reliable solution to broadcast important sporting events live. By implementing complex services from Evolink, including CDN optimization, cloud hosting and professional video streaming, the client was able to provide a seamless experience for its users and significantly expand its online presence.

The Client

A dynamically developing Bulgarian sports website, which in a short time managed to establish itself as a significant player in the media market. With an innovative approach to sports content and an ambitious program for broadcasting exclusive live sports events, the portal quickly gained the trust of the audience and became a preferred destination for sports fans.

The Challenge

The client uses video streaming and video content transcoding services from Evolink, but uses a shared hosting service for its website from another provider. The size of its website is extremely large due to the large number of images. The company won the rights to broadcast pre-season friendly matches of a leading Bulgarian football team, which is a project of utmost importance for their development. This leads to a huge viewer interest and traffic to its website.

• The main challenge for the client is for their website and video broadcast to withstand a huge peak load.

After the first match, the hosting service provider suspends the access to their website due to the huge load on their entire platform. There is no problem with the video streaming service, but viewers are unable to access their website. The hosting provider migrates the client's website from shared hosting to a VPS, but the second live match again has a load problem.

Why Evolink

The client already successfully uses Evolink's video streaming and transcoding services, which has created a base of trust in the company's technological expertise. When a critical situation occurred, Evolink’s team demonstrated a quick response and a professional approach to solving the problem.

Evolink offered an elegant and efficient solution consisting of two integrated services:

1. Migration of the website to Evolink.cloud hosting platform, providing a reliable and scalable infrastructure
2. Activation of Web acceleration service through Evolink CDN, which allows content caching and optimized delivery to end users

The combination of these two services provided the perfect balance between performance and reliability, while greatly simplifying the customer's technical infrastructure. The transition to the new environment was carried out smoothly and without interruption of services for end users.

The client benefited from:

1. Reliable platform for broadcasting live sports events
2. Significantly improved website performance
3. Ability to serve an unlimited number of simultaneous users
4. Technical support and consultations 24/7

1. Hassle-free conduct of all subsequent broadcasts

3. Expanding the partnership by migrating the entire hosting infrastructure to Evolink
4. Creating a solid foundation for the future development of the digital platform
