In addition, we need to install version monitoring and security precautions on your website. We don’t publish the exact names of the software we use for obvious security reasons, but if you would like details on the following please contact us.

Every day for 3 consecutive days in the early morning hours (Eastern Time), a backup is made of your site. This allows us to have the peace of mind knowing that if anything goes awry with your site, we always have a functioning version that we can use to display your site properly. In addition, our data center also keeps periodic backups of our entire server configuration, including your site.
We also maintain and keep a weekly backup on file. This also helps our programmers who occasionally need to back-track to a previous version while testing your site’s functions in the build stage.
Our solid state servers are top of the line and they deliver much faster than the regular HDD drives that you are used to. This adds to your SEO score and makes Google, Bing and Yahoo much happier.
Currently, many websites are created with open source web frameworks such as WordPress and Joomla due to their ease-of-use and flexibility to customize the way they look with thousands of free themes and plugins. When a visitor enters a dynamic website such as WordPress, the visit triggers database queries and content access at the same time. With traditional web hosting plans that use spinning hard disk drives, access is slow due to the mechanical movement of the HDDs. With solid state drives, data is read and written simultaneously. Therefore, the browsing experience will significantly more pleasant thanks to the reduced loading time.
Hosting with us allows our team to easily access your files. This means we are in a great position to maintain your site or quickly help you in emergencies. Our servers are monitored 24/7, so if an outage occurs we’re notified immediately, and in most cases you’ll be unaware that it happened. We’re also available by support ticket anytime.
