Five Things to Look for in an IT Support Company

It is not uncommon for technical problems to be handled by whoever happens to be the most tech savvy person in the company. That can work for a little while. As a result, it is not a sustainable practice. Your team should focus on meeting your organizational goals – not dealing with technology problems. Why not outsource your IT needs as it will help alleviate the burden, so you can get back to business.

Web Hosting DDoS Protection

Posted on by

We have introduced enterprise-level Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) protection across our shared hosting platforms. These include general Windows, and Linux shared hosting as well as a dedicated shared WordPress system optimised for performance.

DDoS attacks flood a target with traffic with the intention of making a website unusable. Our shared platform is less vulnerable to these attacks than others because we use unique autoscaling servers. We have now added web hosting DDoS protection to strengthen our overall security offering at no extra cost.

The protection mitigates attacks even of Terabit per Second-levels of data. During an attack the system works by identifying the malicious traffic and isolating it, while letting normal, ‘friendly’ user traffic through so sites will function as normal. Overall this gives your website increased up-time and less vulnerability should the worst happen.

To find out more or to migrate your websites contact LIS. We will be pleased to help.
