Your website is the most important piece of your marketing pie and the most important resource for your customers and patrons. It is the public face of your company or organization. Electric Bricks knows this (it’s ours, too!), and for that reason, site uptime and reliability are always on our minds for our clients’ sites. As you are probably already aware, we are constantly adding tools to our performance and security toolbox to help keep the hundreds of sites we manage up and running fast and securely. To that end, we are once again making a big change to our primary hosting infrastructure.
What Are We Doing & Why Are We Doing It?
Recent upticks in cyber-attacks, as well as less than satisfactory support from our current (or should we say old) hosting providers, have forced us to evaluate several previously unavailable options that, after extensive testing, are showing to be much more reliable and robust solutions. To that end, we have settled on a new primary hosting partner and are now in the process of migrating the vast majority of client sites to this new platform. Just a few of the benefits will be:
- Significantly improved uptime and reliability
- Better technical support
- Unlimited bandwidth that takes traffic spikes into account
- Increased protection against hackers and cyber-attacks
- More frequent backups (daily/hourly)
- And much more!
The migration process will take some time to complete, but we anticipate the majority of it will be done before the new year. We will keep you informed as things progress and make you aware of any other changes.
