It doesn’t matter what we do if your website gets hacked or goes down. Most people are surprised to learn the average website is attacked hundreds to several thousand times every day. In addition to fending off hackers, your website host has just milliseconds to perform hundreds of tasks simultaneously, without fail, 24/7.
Cybersecurity is a major concern for business. Big-business data breaches make the news all the time, but hacking poses a significant threat to small businesses as well. There are countless reasons hackers hack, but here are the most common ones.
Hacking attempts have increased in frequency at an alarming rate. A few years ago, a typical website on our network would experience a few dozen hacking attempts daily. It’s several hundred today, but the rate is increasing. Think for a moment. That’s your website fending off potentially thousands of attackers every single day.
Our engineering team works constantly to stay ahead of online assailants, but it is a cat and mouse game that the host doesn’t always win. Our ability to respond is as critical as minimizing the possibility of a breach in the first place.
As part of our essentials plan, we provide fully managed hosting, free. Managed hosting means we actively monitor your website for uptime and security, make critical updates and run backups—lots and lots of backups.
