The spike in visitors to the site resulted in a huge jump in page-views for product offers on the site.  The additional bandwidth required for the contest entry and a video on how to enter the contest overwhelmed the company's servers and visitors were temporarily denied access to the site.  The Estonish.com website was down for a few hours while engineers upgraded systems and increased bandwidth capabilities.

"We completely underestimated the speed and size of increase in visitors to the site.  If you were not able to register for the contest or could not shop on Estonish.com, please feel confident in returning to the site now.  I believe we have made the necessary improvements to our website to handle any spike in traffic and bandwidth," said Duane Hardy, President of the comparison shopping website.
