When your business gets really busy, your website is often the first thing that starts being neglected. Small website problems start festering into huge issues, when nobody is watching. Your information starts getting outdated, hackers start chipping away at your website’s security, and your traffic starts outgrowing what your hosting account will allow before pulling the plug on you by surprise.
If you are a person that is an expert with “widgets” you probably don’t have the time to become an expert in technology and the internet. To get the help you need you need a partner, not a vendor. Someone you can trust. Someone that has the “heart of a teacher”. To not only understand all the aspects of their website and their needs, but to have the capability to choose the proper solutions and explain them with the “heart of a teacher” so it’s easy to understand.
What services are covered with the Guardian Safe Support Package?

Have you ever worried or even experienced waking up and finding your website missing? Damaged? Hacked? Or even more embarrassing make a mistake and break it? Your heart can start beating out of your chest in those moments. That’s why with this package you get Safe Secure Backups pushed to a stable file storage repository, Amazon S3. Your hosting server could explode, and you’ll have a backup in my care stored on about 15 other servers.

Managed Content Delivery Network (CDN) to enhance the speed of your website.
Did you know that 90% of your visitor’s will leave a site if they don’t find what they need in 10 seconds? What if over half that is spent waiting for your page to load? With the CDN your site’s content won’t be limited to one server. The site elements accessed most often will be served through a globally distributed network. Meaning that your clients all over the US, and even all over the world, will get enhanced speed when accessing your website and will stay on your site to read what you’ve to offer them.
Broad security protection filters enabled through the CDN
Filters will be installed that monitor monitor for malicious activities on your website 24-7. There’s no such thing as a 100% secure website, just as there is no 100% protected house. The point of these filters are to block obvious attacks before they even get to your website. It’s like putting a guard tower on the front lawn to watch for burglars. You can’t beat protection like that.
