It offers TurnKey’s clients automated Operating System installations, network graphs, improved Remote Reboots, as well as Direct Console Access.

Common operating systems like CentOS, Ubuntu, and Windows Server editions, as well as rescue mode options and recovery tools will be available to TurnKey’s clients at the click of a button.

How to Build a Trusted Website   no comments

Posted at Oct 8, 2019 @ 9:00am Web hosting

How to Build a Trusted Website

If you are like other business owners and managers, you are looking for a way to grow your business and expand your reach to the next level. While you can use many methods to obtain your goal, having a high-quality, trusted website is one of the top ways to achieve impressive results. Your customers will instantly view you as an expert if you have the proper elements on your site, and they will feel excited to buy your products or services as a result. Building a website that has a positive impact on your audience will take some time and effort, but you will enjoy the rewards for years to come as long as you follow the right process. You can track your progress to see the difference that a compelling website can have on your bottom line, and the following guide will point you down the correct path.

 

Reputation

Your reputation is one of the most important factors when it comes to attracting and retaining loyal customers. Before you try to impress people with your accomplishments, get to know your audience and the factors to which they are the most likely to respond. If your company has been serving customers for many years, including that fact in your sales page can increase your reputation in no time. Having a large number of followers on Facebook, Twitter and other social sites will also play a role in the amount of trust that you can earn from your potential customers. When people see that others are interested in you and what you have to offer, they will not hesitate to buy from you.

 

Testimonials

Advertisers from around the world place ads online, on the side of the road, in newspapers, on television and on the radio. No matter where you go or what you do, you will find someone trying to sell a product or service, so you will need a way to make your business stand out from the rest. Anyone can promise that their product or service will solve problems and make people’s lives a little easier, but adding testimonials to your website will grab attention and inspire people to believe in your product or service. Sprinkle your testimonials throughout your sales page if you want to get a positive response from your prospects. If you would like to enhance your results, try including a picture of your customers in their testimonials.

 

Better Business Bureau (BBB)

If you would like to make your website as trustworthy as possible, overlooking the importance of the Better Business Bureau, or BBB, is a mistake that you won’t want to repeat. The BBB is a trusted company that helps connect consumers with businesses that adhere to certain leadership and customer service standards. If a company registers with the BBB and follows the code of conduct, it can place the BBB badge on its website or sales page. Becoming a member of the BBB and displaying the badge on your content will add a touch of credibility. Businesses that maintain the highest standards will be eligible to receive awards that will help them leave a lasting impression on their web visitors.

 

Secure Your Content

Stories of cybercrime are becoming increasingly common, and your customers want to know that they are in good hands. When a criminal gains access to the personal data of your customers, the criminal can steal their identity and make their lives much more difficult. When you send information over the internet, it’s easier than you would think for criminals to intercept it, and not having a secure website will turn a lot of potential customers away. Overcoming that issue is simple when you use secured sockets layers, or SSL, to safeguard your website. When you do so, the software will encrypt every piece of information that people submit to your site, making it impossible for criminals to read.

 

Search Engine Optimization (SEO)

People do not always trust advertisements that they see online because they know that the marketers are trying to obtain their money. Although the right ad campaign can improve your profitability, using search engine optimization will increase your effectiveness. People know that Google wants to provide relevant and useful content to its users, so they will be much more likely to trust content that appears on the organic search results. When you use SEO to rank your content on the No. 1 page of Google, you will be surprised by the outcome.

 

Free Trials

If you have followed the other steps in this guide, you are already moving in the right direction, but testimonials and BBB awards can only get you so far. If you would like to get the most from your effort, consider the benefits of offering free trials. As long as you remain dedicated to quality, those who use your free trials will want to buy the full version of your product or service. Since people will judge the value of your other products on the reliability of your free trial, put your best foot forward.

 

Professionalism

Ensuring that your website is professional will work wonders when it comes to getting your prospects to like and trust you. A clean design, simple navigation and attractive layout are just a few of the components of a professional website. You will also want to use well-written content that engages your audience and is free of spelling errors. Using an optimized code that loads fast will also help you build a professional image with your website, and you will impress your prospects along the way. When you have a professional and captivating website, your potential customers will know that you care about your business and reputation.

 

The look and feel of your website will determine how much trust and respect you can build with your prospects, and you can’t afford to cut corners. Each step that you take to inspire people to view you in a positive light can enhance your conversion rate and help you increase your earning potential. When you put these tips into action and see what they can do for your business, you will know that you have made a smart choice.

Why Companies Are Choosing Data Center Colocation   1 comment

Posted at Oct 1, 2019 @ 9:00am colocation

Colocation

For many companies, offloading the care and responsibility of their computers, servers, and IT infrastructure onto trained IT professionals at a data center carries multiple advantages. This type of service, known as Colocation, has steadily expanded year after year, with leading industry experts expecting the global colocation market to exceed $40 billion by the end of this year. An in-depth examination shows that five major considerations lie behind the decision by CIOs and other corporate officials to rely on data center and colocation providers.

 

1. Connectivity

Servers, especially for web hosting, are only as good as the internet connectivity that allows them to cram immense flows of data up and down the line, and colocation providers typically subscribe to multiple high-level broadband providers to establish superior bandwidth redundancy and to encourage competition that results in cost savings for both the colocation provider and server owners. Quite apart from the sheer efficiency of sharing top-tier bandwidth access across innumerable servers, the climate-controlled environment keeps servers within a consistent temperature range to ensure that sensitive network equipment and server components don’t fail from extended exposure to excessive heat.

 

2. Stability

The impact on productivity from moving corporate offices, encountering a natural disaster or suffering through an extended interruption of electrical power can be disastrous. Even the most efficient company may experience a series of unfortunate events that repeatedly delay its return to full operational status. In the meantime, customers may be yelling about misplaced orders and bungled services, and employees may be left without real work as core business processes fail to function as expected. More than a few CIOs and other upper-management staffers prefer instead to shield the company’s critical IT infrastructure from such potential chaos by entrusting them to an efficient data center and colocation provider with multiple power backups and contingency plans for dealing with IT disasters.

 

3. Security

In an age of brazen corporate espionage by overseas agencies, ensuring physical data security can be a challenge. Even in the absence of foreign or domestic interest in valuable intellectual property held by a business, employee honesty and awareness of basic security precautions aren’t always guaranteed. Hard drives and other computer components sometimes have a habit of walking out the door, and allowing direct physical access to servers located inside open offices also increases the risk of malicious hacking attacks by criminals through the agency of malware-laden USB sticks left lying around in company parking lots.

A well-equipped data center will lock down its facilities with multiple security measures, including burglar-resistant, alarmed entry and exit doors; coded access procedures that track all physical access to hosted servers; strategically placed surveillance cameras; biometric scanners to prevent unauthorized access by intruders and even individually locked cages for each client’s servers. Spreading the cost of these high-security measures across hundreds or thousands of servers allows the data center to efficiently offer economies of scale otherwise unavailable to the great majority of small to mid-size businesses.

 

4. Scalability

In a typical office IT environment, if a company quickly needs to increase bandwidth or add physical space to the office to accommodate additional IT equipment, they could wait weeks or even months. However, when companies utilize colocation, the data center can provide huge amounts of additional bandwidth within minutes, as well as provide more physical space to host additional servers or hardware as needed.

 

5. Financial Predictability

Maintaining in-house data and IT facilities typically invites unexpected capital outlays that play havoc with limited quarterly budgets. Many firms prefer the predictability of a fixed monthly outlay that covers the great majority of expenses associated with managing critical IT hardware capability across all corporate functions. Strategic planning and corporate accounting become easier with fewer surprises for the unwary.

Only robust discussion among company principals can determine the ultimate wisdom of outsourcing IT hardware management functions to a dedicated third party. However, the cost savings, significantly improved operational stability and peace of mind offered by the colocation option have proven to be compelling value propositions for an expanding number of commercial enterprises, as well as SMBs and other organizations.
