Are backups really neccessary?
The need for backups cannot be stressed enough, recovering lost data can be time consuming, costly and sometimes impossible. If your business is important to you then so are backups.
What is an Anti Spam system and how does it work?
Anti SPAM systems are a way of reducing the amount of SPAM and innapropriate messages getting through to your inbox. It includes sophisticated levels of filtering for your protection and works quietly in the background for you. Filtering levels can be tuned and taught e-mail addresses that you both want to receive (white list) and those you dont (black list).
What is webmail and why do i need it?
Webmail allows you to access your e-mail from any device with a simple login. Its a great backup, should you forget your phone or have a computer failure.
What is an SSL Certificate?
Reputation is everything in business and yours should be protected if you are to succeed online. Having an SSL certificate shows your visitors you have a trustworthy online presence that can help build your reputation as a trusted online provider.
Why do I need an SSL Certificate?
Google now actively penalises non secured websites by boosting the search engine rankings of sites that are both protected by SSL certificates and use HTTPS to deliver all their pages for display online. So as well as protecting your customers, you also have better search engine results, even if you do not host sensitive data.
What are Security Scans?
Security scans are scans of your website checking for injected code that could compromise your websites operation. Although the servers are protected by firewalls, this is an additional level of protection in case someone maintaining a website has accidentaly made changes that allow malicious software to be uploaded.
What is a Firewall?
A Firewall is a protection device that blocks unauthorised access to the server. Criminal organisations often try to access websites to use for their own reasons (redirecting your traffic to another website). The firewall is there to try and protect you from such activity.
What is Real Time Malicious File Scanning?
As files are uploaded to the server where your website and e-mails are hosted they are checked for viruses and malware.
What is remote email support?
Using a number of different systems and with your consent, we are able to connect to your device so that we can quickly setup emails or assist with any specific challenges you might have.
