Imagine your website is a caravan. It might be a dilapidated piece of junk on two biscuits, or it could be a top-of-the-range Marchi Mobile EleMMent Palazzo. Whichever it is, it still needs to be parked somewhere if you want to use it.
It’s the same with a website. Your website might be an old static, non-mobile-friendly, non-SEO friendly piece of junk, or it could boast the latest in coding. Either way, it needs to be parked somewhere.
This parking spot for a website is called hosting.
You could get seriously cheap hosting for your website, but you must ask yourself what you’re getting for your money.
And if you know how bad cheap hosting is for your website (for search engine ranking and for visitor usability) you’ll run from it like someone from a virus outbreak.
That’s why you should use us for your website’s hosting.
Fast SSD
Occasionally, you come across a website that’s so painfully slow you can make yourself a pot of cold brew coffee between each click.
It’s especially true of websites built with content management systems like WordPress.
One of the main problems is that a slow site is probably hosted on a standard hard drive.
Because we use WordPress exclusively for our clients, we can’t afford to host websites on standard hard drives. The load time forms a crucial part of Google’s ranking algorithm, so we can’t afford to have something like hosting keeping our clients back.
In other words, if a prospect approaches us to help them rank better in Google, but their website is hosted on a standard server, we decline the offer.
That’s because after every single optimization trick and search engine marketing effort, the website’s load speed will still be affected negatively by the slow hard drive it’s hosted on.
In other words, you’ll be building a gorgeous palace on a foundation made of rotten driftwood.
If your website’s speed is important to you, and it should be, you must host on a solid-state drive.
Secure
Let’s be honest: nothing is secure. If someone wants to hack you, they will.
But, thank God, so far, none of our clients have been hacked.
From our end, we employ a few ways to ensure your website looks attractive to only those people it should, and not hackers.
Rollbacks
If ever your website should go down, it takes only a simple rollback to get it back to a previous working state.
This comes at a cost, but considering the cost of losing your website completely, the cost is negligible.
Minimal entry points
We ensure that your WordPress website’s admin panel can’t be accessed by just anyone. In fact, as a client, even though it’s your website, we don’t allow you full access to your WordPress admin panel.
The reason we take this precaution is not because we don’t trust you with your site. It’s what others might discover when they access your laptop or computer, with or without your knowledge.
Because we limit your access, if someone accesses your website’s admin panel illegally, at least they won’t have full access and can therefore only do minimal damage.
Image hosting
One of the biggest obstructions to fast load times is the uploading of oversized images to websites.
We tackle this issue by installing a plugin that automatically reduces image file size when you upload.
Always updated
The moment your website is added to our fold it’s also added to our management dashboard from where your theme and plugins are kept up to date religiously.
Web technology, coding and hosting move fast. This is not always a good thing, but it’s a reality. And if your website’s not kept up to date, it won’t be long before your website, once a bright and shiny tool, falls into disrepair and eventually conks out completely.
If you wait too long between updates, you might expose your website to security risks.
It’s important to minimize security risks, so when a new update comes along, we run it. This ensures that nothing breaks. And if something breaks, we do a rollback of your website and wait for the knot to be worked out of the system.
Excellent uptime
Our downtime is miniscule.
We’ve had one prospect ask us for a detailed report of our downtime before they committed to signing up.
That’s because we couldn’t answer them when they asked what our downtime was, since we’ve never experienced those sorts of issues.
We ran a report and sent it to them. Apparently, they were satisfied because they signed up as a client.
Excellent service
It’s of utmost importance that our clients are sensationally happy.
We can’t help them in their personal lives, and we can’t help them win the lottery.
But when their website’s in peril or their emails aren’t working, they need to know that we make it a priority to sort out the issue.
A wise man once said, “a good name is more to be desired than fine gold.” (He said it in Hebrew, though.) We live by that credo. Our good name is more important than a bucket of KFC. And we love KFC.
