Shared Hosting Problem

Many websites are not as secure as the customer may think. This is due to the fact that there are many unknown users on shared servers. By its nature, cheap hosting can attract unscrupulous users to buy hosting in order to hack into other accounts and, for example, upload phishing sites. Once phishing sites are reported, the hosting provider has no option but to take the server off-line.

The Solution

  • Upgrade to a dedicated or virtual dedicated server.
  • Dedicated processor and memory will provide performance increase.
  • Not limited to shared hosted configuration (i.e you do not need all Apache/PHP modules).
  • Optimisation of the Apache/PHP/MySQL installation.
  •  

     

     

The Benefits

  • Better performance and faster responses equal more business.
  • Scalability – easy to upgrade without having to migrate.
  • Updates – easier to update to the latest versions of software.
  • Development – ability to host a development environment.
  •
