No Phishing allowed

Filed under: News — Cleverhosting @ 9:07 pm

So I thought it would be cool to write a blog post about a recent event at Cleverhosting.

Earlier today we were made aware that a customers VPS was being used to send out phishing e-mails and host phishing websites. We immediately turned off the offending VPS to avoid any potential damage. All information that we gathered from the VPS was then sent to the relevant authorities for appropriate processing.

Cleverhosting want to assure you that we proactively monitor our networks and servers to ensure legal activity at all times. If any illegal activity is discovered we take immediate action to protect the security of our networks. We feel that it is our responsibility as a hosting services provider to be aware of potential threats and act as responsibly as possible, not only for the good of ourselves but also for those across the internet.

The importance of backing up!

Filed under: Backup — Cleverhosting @ 11:47 pm

During various trawls through internet forums, and websites. There has been one thing I’ve noticed a lot.

People who have Shared Hosting packages often don’t realise the importance of backing up their data. A lot of Hosting companies don’t perform regular backups of their systems, or they only perform backups of the core software configurations.

At Cleverhosting, we really do encourage our users to perform regular backups of their site. However, we do perform nightly backups of all sites on our servers, as well as employing Raid 1 storage to mirror data between devices, so that in the event of any data loss, we have plenty of backups to get back online as quickly as possible. Even with this in mind, we do still encourage all our customers to perform regular backups of their sites and databases, just in case!

Content management systems

Filed under: CMS — Cleverhosting @ 8:51 pm

Increasingly across the internet, website developers are using CMS’ (Content management systems) as a backend for their website. There are many out there that offer roughly the same benefits, but have rather different user interfaces.

To name just a few, these include ‘Joomla’, ‘Website Baker’, ‘Drupal’, ‘Mambo’, etc. Incidently these are all free to use. These are complete solutions for a backend to your website. Let’s talk about the benefits of a CMS and what it can do for you.

  • Heavily dynamic websites that require a lot of changes will almost certainly benefit.
  • You can quickly update various information sources on your website within one centralised part of the CMS front-end, this allows you to quickly display updates to parts of your website that require regular updates.
  • If you pay a website designer to make changes to your website regurlarly, then these charges will be significantly reduced, because the amount of changes are minimised due to a CMS handling the information better.
  • With it being so easy to regularly add new content, you can add new content whenever / wherever you like, and quickly. Therefore you will be able to attract more visitors to your site by having search engines index your site more often due to the updated content.
  • CMS’ generally have the ability for you to select a theme you like and go with it. You don’t need to have technical ability in HTML, PHP, CSS, etc in order to have a successful website. Not only does this make things easier for you, it also makes the whole process more enjoyable and helpful.

The above points are just a few reasons why using a CMS could be the right move for you.

I hope this article has given fair insight into a CMS and how it could benefit you. All of our web hosting packages allow you to setup and use a CMS for your website. If you wish to know further information, then please feel free to contact us.
