Website security is critical to maintaining trust, ensuring safe transactions, and protecting sensitive data. Below are some of the most common security considerations and how we address them:
1. Transaction Encryption
To secure data transmitted between your visitor’s browser and your website, we strongly recommend the use of an SSL certificate with a Dedicated IP address. This ensures that all information shared—especially on forms and during checkouts—is encrypted and safe from interception.
2. Website Credibility
To build trust and credibility, we suggest using an EV (Extended Validation) SSL Certificate. This certificate is issued only after a strict validation process by an accredited authority, confirming the legitimacy of your business. Visitors will see your verified business name in the browser address bar, reinforcing that your website is operated by a legal, trustworthy entity—not amateurs or fraudsters.
3. Privacy Policy Coverage
All our services are governed by our strict privacy policy, available at:

This ensures your data is handled ethically and in accordance with industry best practices.
4. Database Security
On shared hosting servers, resources are used by multiple users. While access is compartmentalized, shared environments inherently carry a higher security risk. We actively counter threats through:
Antivirus (AV) scanning
Firewalls (FW)
Application-level monitoring and lockdowns (AML)
However, dedicated servers offer a more secure alternative by design, as they isolate your environment from other users—significantly reducing the risk of compromise.
5. Internal Access & Data Encryption
Server administrators and NOC technicians may access servers periodically for maintenance. All personnel are bound by confidentiality agreements and our privacy policy.
Still, we strongly recommend encrypting sensitive data within your database. This ensures that even if unauthorized access occurs, the data remains unusable and secure.
6. Backup Strategy & Data Redundancy
Servers, like all machines, are prone to hardware failures—RAM, drives, CPUs, power supplies—and in rare cases, physical incidents such as fire or power outages. While we maintain automated, periodic full-server backups, recovery isn’t always guaranteed due to potential corruption or outdated snapshots.
Our recommendation:
Regularly download backups of your website files, emails, and databases to your local system or a trusted third-party storage provider. This adds a crucial layer of redundancy in the event of unforeseen issues.
