How secure is your domain and hosting?
There have been some high profile companies of late that have encountered problems through domains and hosting. This is a major part of any business, without them your communication, existence and email is completely lost.
Recently a high profile restaurant in Birmingham has had its domain taken by a company in Germany, which will no doubt lead to a downturn in awareness and revenue for the client.
We have also this week seen Ministry of Sound, Oasisinet and Razorlight affected by a ecommerce trader Trinity Street who have ceased trading, also affected were The London Bridge ticketing system which was disabled.
At LHM Media, we take great pride in looking after your domains and hosting, and offer a number of low cost shared and dedicated options.
It is vital that you check who is hosting your site, who controls your domain and that you can get hold of the information quickly. If you can’t get hold of the company or person that is holding one of the most important assets to your business, act now and move this to a company that can, that are on the other end of the phone and can advise on the best way forward for your business.
