Here is a snippet from our latest blog:
When it comes to the solutions you provide to your clients, they will expect your website to be lightning fast. In the background, this is not as simple as it sounds. Performance requires both fast hardware and a software stack that is optimised for your specific applications. This can only be achieved through the collaboration of web application developers and system engineers. It's not just about high performance for a small number of visitors, it's also about being able to have a solution that scales with your demands.
If your traffic increases due to a large-scale event such as a special promotion, you don't want to lose sales because your website slows down or even crashes under the load. This is why you need to make sure your service provider is capable of responding to these requirements with options such as load balancing. With our Advanced Cluster
solutions, proactive monitoring and uptime reporting allows us to act fast and intervene before your systems get overloaded and visitors start clicking away.
Alongside this high performance, it's also critical to have a high level of security in your hosting environment. All hosting companies tell you they offer secure systems, but when it comes down to it, most hosting companies are more interested in protecting themselves than your site. If your site is attacked or compromised, most hosting companies will immediately disconnect you to protect themselves. They will provide you with options to use an outdated backup or refer you to a security backup company. Either way, your business suffers and you are offline.
Without a managed firewall you are vulnerable to brute force and DDoS attacks. 45% of organisations are attacked at some point, and half of these attacks cause at least 6-24 hours downtime.
