Managed Website Hosting in Jacksonville

Acquiring and Managing Your Domain Name

With all the advertising, most people know how to purchase a domain name. But like most important purchases, it’s good to get some professional advices before you buy. Purchasing or “registering” a domain name that is your businesses name is always a safe bet. And .com is the best TLD, (top level domain) for your domain name. If .com is not available there are other options such as .co, .us and many others. We often help our clients get creative when the domain they want is not available. Since domain names no longer have any SEO value with Google, it’s now possible to use any phrase you want for your domain name. We help clients come up with catchy, easy to remember phrases that relate to their business or services. For example; LearnYourRights.com for a personal injury attorney and CreditKarma.com, the personal credit monitoring app. Whichever way you choose to go with your domain name, we’ll help you get it purchased from a reputable registrar and configure it so that we can begin development of your new website. And we’ll make any needed adjustments to it over time.

A website by itself is usually comprised of a large number of directories, files, databases and coding that make it all work properly. Website hosting is required for your website to function as it was coded and designed to function on the Internet.

SSL Certificate Installation and Management

SSL certificates encrypt and secure the internet connection between the browser of someone who is visiting your website and your website on our hosting server. Today all of the top browsers will present a security alert; “Not Secure” to those visiting a website that does not have an SSL certificate installed. So it is vital that your website have an SSL certificate installed.

SSL certificates play an important role in making the web a better place. For visitors, SSL certificates verify that a website is really what or who it says it is and encrypts the connection between the visitor and the website thereby securing any data that is downloaded from or uploaded to your website. SSL certificates benefit your website by assure that visitors will never see a “Not Secure” warning when visiting your website. It will also assure that your rankings in Google and other search engines are not lowered.

We install and manage SSL certificates for all of our clients as a part of our managed website hosting services. We include SSL at no additional cost because it is a very necessary aspect of having a website today. We also install and manage SSL certificates from certain third party providers for our clients. There are many SSL providers that you can explore online but beware, SSL certificates vary greatly in cost and installation complexity. In our experience, we have found Godaddy to be an effective option at a reasonable price. And we install Godaddy SSL certificates for our clients for free.

Website Updates and Support Services

Content Updates:
Websites usually require some form of content updates that can range from an occasional staff change or change in services offered to updating monthly specials. As our hosting client, you will receive a discounted hourly rate with no limit on the number of hours. All you need to do is send us an email or give us a call and let us know what you need done. Most updates are completed the same day. More complex edits or additions to page content will take a little longer but we get started on most request right away.

Hosting Services Updates and Improvements:
Occasionally, because of new threats or the continual advancement of technology, we have to enhance our website hosting services. For example, we decided to upgrade our web server hosting software to a solution that was much more robust and suitable to hosting large dynamic websites like WordPress websites. We also add different layers or types of security and firewalls as better solutions become available. And even though these improvements often increase our monthly operating costs, in more than 20 years, we have never raised our standard monthly hosting fees. We believe that these necessary improvements are just a part of doing business and that our clients should not have to pay for us to remain competitive in our industry.
