We all want our websites to be working hard for us. It has a job to do – gather leads, make sales, covert clients and building trust with your audience.
To do all this the website needs to be online and functional. Using a reliable host and keeping your website up to date is key to ensuring your website is doing it’s job.
Does your current host do regular backups? Do they charge you a fee to restore that backup? I’ve seen some hosts charge up to $250 +gst for this task. If this happens regularly to some sites it can get very expensive. How many sites are being hosted on your server? Some hosts have 1000’s of websites per server. This causes security risks, slows down your site, affects your SEO and the client’s experience.
It is also common for websites to be targets of hacking. Did you know that the average website can have automated attacks, looking for weakness multiple times per day?
Do you remember the last time you ran updates in the WordPress Dashboard? When was the last time you scanned your site for malware? Are you making regular backups?
Think of your website like a car. You need to keep that investment running, serviced to reduce the risk of malfunctions and breakdowns.
