Why Hosting and Maintenance are So Important

1. Technology is constantly changing

For Instance

  • Software is enhanced with great new features, which introduces new and better ways to be creative.
  • But the new software might not work so well with other software installed.
  • Or it might have a security flaw that needs to be patched.
  • That’s why we need to keep an eye on it, to be sure that as the updates and enhancements are released and everything continues to work as it should.

2. Good Quality Hosting

Websites Load Faster

Your customers may click away if it takes too long for your website to load.

Reliable Uptime

You don’t want to lose a sale because “the server is down.”

Performance
Our dedicated server means that you have all the bandwidth you need.

Security
Our dedicated server means you are not sharing the server with other people’s non-secure websites that risk all sites on the server getting hacked.

 

3. Maintenance

Strong Security Practices

Makes it MUCH harder for your website to be hacked.

Regular Backups

Two sets of backup.  One on the server and one stored offsite.

Software Updates

WordPress, Themes and Plugins. Updates may provide new features or patch security vulnerabilities.

Plugin Compatibility

Developing a group of plugins that are reliable and work well together helps your website work its best.

Keeping an Eye on it
