Maintenance

You probably don't spend much time thinking about what makes your web site work. Your site is something that you count on, even depend on, being there day-in and day-out. The fact is your web site is an application running on a UNIX server, and just like any application it requires some attention to operate optimally.

Specifically, web sites are the subject of daily attempts by hackers to destroy part of your business simply for their own entertainment. Just because your site may seem low profile to you does not mean that hack attempts aren't being made. Hackers use sophisticated 'crawling' software to search the web for sites that may be vulnerable to attacks. We've seen instances where the only visit to a web site on a given day is a hack-attempt!

In order to protect our clients we have reconsidered the way in which we group hosted sites, and are introducing a new subscription software update program called Joomla up-to-date, as well as special pricing on one-time upgrades to your site.

Hosting

We offer hosting services only for Web Sites that we have developed. This intimate knowledge of the inner workings of our clients web sites allows us to provide an extremely secure and yet cost effective model. Below you will find our published hosting fees and brief service specifications.

Joomla Up-to-Date

With your subscr cycle-web iption to Joomla up-to-date we actively maintain your Joomla site to ensure that the core Joomla software, as well as any components that we have installed for you, are always upgraded to the most recent version.
