We sent out a large email blast to over 26K people and during the first half hour it went out and recieved a few thousand opens our corporate website went down. Has anyone experienced this same issue or know what might have caused this?
We're planning on doing a similar email blast next week and would like to prevent this from happening again.
Re: Email Blast Brought Down Our Corporate Website
Overall, that's not a SUPER large send, so that's impressive it brought down your site. Did you check in with your web hosting company to see if anything occured on their end? I've sent out to over 100K leads, and never experienced a crash on my websites, and I was using iFrames for forms and had a bunch of marketo landing pages linked on my site.
