How Datacentreplus Supports Forever Manchester’s Digital Presence
The Challenge
Mission-Critical Communication: As the primary channel for highlighting community work and raising funds, any website downtime directly impacts Forever Manchester’s ability to support local projects.
Media-Rich Content: The site is heavily focused on storytelling through high-resolution imagery and video, requiring significant processing power and fast data delivery.
High Traffic Demands: With thousands of daily visits, the charity needed a solution that could handle high concurrency without performance dips or "noisy neighbor" issues.
Values Alignment: Forever Manchester sought a partner that didn't just offer hardware, but shared their ethos of community support and local investment.
The Datacentreplus Solution
To meet these requirements, our technical team implemented a bespoke Dedicated Server solution designed for maximum speed and reliability:
Fast SSD Storage: We deployed high-performance SSDs to ensure that the site’s media-rich pages load instantly, providing a seamless experience for donors and volunteers.
Low-Contention Environment: By utilizing a dedicated server, we provided Forever Manchester with exclusive access to resources, ensuring stability even during high-traffic fundraising periods.
Collaborative Technical Approach: Our engineers worked closely with Forever Manchester’s developers to fine-tune the server specification, ensuring the infrastructure was perfectly aligned with their site's architecture.
Active Partnership: Beyond the technical setup, Datacentreplus acts as a long-term supporter and Ambassador for the charity, actively promoting campaigns like "Captain Manchester" on social media.
The Result
"Datacentreplus recently took over the hosting needs of Forever Manchester’s website. They were friendly, efficient, quick, great communicators and professional." — Nick Massey, CEO at Forever Manchester
The transition to a dedicated environment has provided the charity with a robust digital foundation. With 100% uptime and optimized load speeds, Forever Manchester can focus on what they do best: supporting over 1,000 community projects across Greater Manchester every year.
