What are the Benefits of Hosting with Extima?
The benefits of hosting with Extima include:
- Premium Web Hosting
- Security and Updates
- Backups
- Reliability
- Monitoring / Software Upgrades
- Partner Relationship
- Open Communication
Extima Website Hosting is Premium Web Hosting
Extima has dedicated servers that are specifically set up to work well with out .NET shopping cart applications, others that run Miva websites, even more that handle our WordPress applications and finally, several options for your Email Hosting. We have partnered with both Rackspace and GoGrid, using the very best cloud web server solutions in the nation, to offer the best support and uptime.
Unlike the average run of the mill hosting company, that puts hundreds or maybe thousands of websites on each web server, Extima personally knows about all each website being hosted, and we do not allow just anyone off the street to set up a website on our servers. This exclusivity benefits and protects all of our hosting clients. Because of this, we do require that all websites being hosted on our servers be up-to-date with their software versions and patches.
Security and Updates
Extima security arrangements include a sophisticated private firewall. As a result we have experienced very few hacks. We work hard to keep your website well-maintained. Needless to say, more happens behind the scenes than you probably know. Upgrades to the operating system on the web server and the many supporting software located on the web server happens weekly.
Backups
Your website is backed up every night and each server is equipped with redundant hard drives (RAID). Thus, if one hard drive crashes the second hard drive will take over and there is no downtime.
Reliability
People and companies on other hosts may tell you that their website is continuously down, and it is because they are using cheap hosting that is shared with all kinds of people where one bad apple can spoil the bunch. We consider Extima hosting to be for mission critical websites and for companies that do not want the headaches that come with cheap hosting. This is not to say there will never be a problem, but we definitely have the record showing very few problems–that is on purpose.
Monitoring / Software Upgrades
Another benefit of having Extima host your website is our ability to monitor and watch over your website. Not only do we make sure the server is running, we keep track of each program and module that your website utilizes and when servers are upgraded with new software, we are able to communicate with you quickly with regard to what kind of upgrades and updates might be needed.
Likewise, if a module is upgraded we know about it and can advise you of your options. Very few, if any, web hosts provides this service and the lack of this kind of important oversight is often the main reason for websites being hacked or compromised. If this service was not provided by Extima you would essentially be on your own and since very few organizations have the in-house expertise to do this kind of monitoring, it is one of the main benefits of hosting with Extima.
Open Communication
Finally, when Extima hosts your website, you will never be in a position of being in between the provider of the software and the hardware (i.e. the web server). When there is a problem–and from time to time, there will be–Extima is able to work both with your software and the web server. You will never hear “you need to call your web host about that issue” since we are available to work on both.
