An SSL Certificate is installed so that communication between a website and it’s visitor is encrypted. With the evolution of stricter privacy laws, you want to minimize your risk by encrypting everything that a website visitor submits through your website. Whether it’s as simple as their name and email address or as complex as their credit card or Social Security number.

A website firewall is the first line of defense and security specific to your website. Whether you are on shared or dedicated hosting, a website firewall filters every visit through stringent rules to ensure that legitimate website visitors enter and illegitimate visitors with malicious intent are stopped. While no Firewall is 100% effective, operating without one would be equivalent to closing the safe door at Fort Knox but leaving it unlocked and unattended.

Vetted updates are one of the biggest keys to ensuring that your website is continually operating at peak efficiency and without interruption. In a nutshell, with The Web Dude Managed Website Hosting, all plugin and core updates are installed and put through rigorous testing to ensure that they don’t break or affect website functionality or usability.

However, leveraging vetted approach ensures that IF something breaks as the result of an update, it gets fixed immediately and your website continues making you money.

Very simply, while most neighbors are pretty good at keeping their websites clean and free of malicious things such as malware and viruses, they sometimes work their way in without them even knowing it. Monitoring deep at the server level ensures that most malicious things never make their way in, but if they do, they are quarantined and mitigated rapidly.

In the event that your website experiences the unfortunate happenstance of malware or being hacked by bots, with The Web Dude’s Managed Website Hosting, mitigation is included in your monthly or annual hosting fee.

Because The Web Dude’s Managed Website Hosting is shared by his clients, the load on each hosting server and environment is managed to ensure that your website always has the resources available to serve website visitors.

With most shared hosting like GoDaddy, BlueHost, HostGator and the like, you have no idea who your neighbors are, what type of business they are running and what they are really up to with their website.

Most shared hosting providers tend to over sell their server capacity, do absolutely zero research on their clients and do not monitor whether the websites on their servers are up to date with the latest secure software.

While many neighbors in a typical shared hosting environment are good well-intentioned neighbors, there are many who establish websites with malicious intent. Whether that is distribution of malware, phishing or black-hat search engine optimization, those things negatively affect every website in the shared environment.

With The Web Dude’s Managed Website Hosting, the ONLY neighbors you have are also clients of The Web Dude.

Have you ever tried to have a phone conversation with a rep at GoDaddy, BlueHost, HostGator or any of the other mass website hosts? With many, you can’t even do so. With some, you’ll be lucky to have a hold time of less than 30 minutes and then you may get the privilege of speaking to someone who has trouble communicating in English.
