When you are\nselecting a web host, you need to choose with care. Your web host provider will\nhave an impact on the speed and performance of your website, as well as your\nlevels of traffic and engagement. If you sell wholesale\nproducts<\/a> online, you can seriously hurt your conversion rates if you\nchoose a poor quality host.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If that wasn\u2019t\nenough, your host also plays a key role when it comes to the security of your\nwebsite. We have all heard about the many data breaches and online security\nattacks that have occurred over the past few years!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With that being\nsaid, read on to discover more about the critical security elements you need to\nconsider when choosing a web host provider.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Enquire about the security features<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

There is only one\nplace to begin, and this is by finding out what security features the web host\nprovides. If you cannot find the information on the company\u2019s site, give them a\ncall and enquire further.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cyber security<\/a> is an essential element of a successful web\npresence, no matter whether this means protecting your loyal customers\u2019\ninformation or keeping your website data safe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What does the web\nhost do to protect this information? What sort of security features do they\nhave in place?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Customer support<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You should also\ntake the time to <\/a>find out about the customer support that is provided<\/a>.\nYou may be wondering what this has to do with website security. The answer is\neverything! What if something goes wrong with your website and no one is\navailable to help?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The best web hosts\nare available 24\/7 so that you can contact them whenever you need to. They will\nalso have different contact methods available, from live chat to telephone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Back-up capabilities<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The third element\nyou need to consider when assessing the security levels of a web host is their\nback-up capabilities. If you have lost data or your website is experiencing\ndowntime, your main concern should not be how it occurred (you can figure this\nout later) \u2013 it should be whether you have backed up your website data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You are going to need\nto start from scratch if you do not have any back-ups. This will not only take\na lot of time but it will have a serious impact on how much money you make.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Irrespective of\nwhether you have a fully-fledged eCommerce store, your site is a creative platform\nfor your career, and if it is used for blogging purposes, losing all of your\nwebsite without being able to recover it would be nothing short of a nightmare.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is why you need to look for a web host that has back-up capabilities<\/a>, including auto back-ups. These should happen daily or you should be able to configure them to suit you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As you can see,\nthere are a number of key aspects you need to consider when you are looking for\na web host provider for your business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While elements like\ndisk space and uptime are important, don\u2019t forget to find out about the\nsecurity features the web host provides and their backup capabilities as well.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
