We’re not a computer repair company. But there are many daily tasks that blur the line between your IT helpdesk, or tech savvy friend, and our 24\/7 web hosting technical support. Think about how much of what you do daily relates to web hosting<\/a>. You interact with email, websites, and mobile applications every day. When you have issues regarding any of these, we’re able to at least give you guidance on how to get the right answer if we can’t resolve the issue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When working on your website or web application, any issues you encounter could originate from multiple places. The most common choke-points – your computer, your local network, or a web server.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Branding today requires a lot of social activities<\/a> and openness. But there are proprietary and private<\/em> elements to your brand as well. You want in-depth data on your proprietary products, personally identifiable information (PII), and trademarks to remain secure. The easiest example is domain privacy<\/a> which sanitizes contact information. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Reevaluate your workflow for better security often. Security has one major thing in common with customer service. It’s everyone’s job<\/strong>. Technology cannot negate user error. But while we can’t prevent all malicious events, we can make it harder by adding defense in depth to our lives. This requires increasing user awareness and training.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We don’t just want to help secure your website on our server. We want you to better secure your private information and data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Below are ways to secure your web activity during system administration tasks and popular options as of 2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Note:<\/strong> None of these technical controls will completely prevent malicious activity. User awareness and training is required to mitigate risks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
