The Benefits of Choosing a Complete Hosting and Support Program for Business Websites

by | Jan 10, 2025 | Website Development

As a business operating in today’s constantly shifting Internet marketing environment, the performance and security of your website is a top priority. Selecting a basic website hosting platform is not good enough anymore. To perform at its highest level, your business website needs a comprehensive hosting and support program to ensure smooth, efficient, and secure 24/7 operation.

Here is what is included in a good comprehensive program for website hosting & support:

Hosting:

  • All website database and content are hosted on our Mays hosting platform.
  • A proprietary caching system that significantly improves website load times.
  • Global Content Delivery Network (CDN) delivers website content quickly to users worldwide, regardless of their location.
  • Optimized Server Configuration to ensure optimal performance.
  • Scaling of your website to handle increased traffic.

Management & Security:

  • Regular security scans and updates to protect against vulnerabilities.
  • DDoS Protection to safeguard your website from Distributed Denial of Service attacks.
  • Daily website backups
  • Automatic Updates keep your WordPress core, plugins, and themes up to date.

Ongoing Support:

The following items are covered by our annual support fee:

  • Training sessions. Full training sessions are available to teach clients how to make minor edits, upload media, best practices, and posting blogs.
  • The Mays Support Team will answer any website or CMS related questions and will walk the client through making minor changes and adjustments.
  • Minor Changes and Edits. Our support team can make minor changes and adjustments to your website. These include:
  • Simple text and image changes including slider updates.
  • Minor layout modifications that involve pre-existing content areas or functionality

Site behavior is monitored 24/7 through our security software. Any activity deemed suspicious can result in automatic IP blocking, sending notifications to our support team alerting them.

At Mays we offer a Comprehensive Website Management & Monitoring Program that includes much more than basic hosting services. Our platform is geared specifically for business websites that depend on their Internet footprint to drive new business leads.
