Business Hosting

Business hosting is a slightly more powerful hosting service than ordinary hosting. Business hosting comes with more features. With Business hosting, you can utilize the resources equivalent to a private server, which eliminates the requirement for an experienced server administrator to monitor the server. It's similar to shared hosting, but with the added capabilities. You may need extra storage disc space and overall resource availability, in case you wish to expand your business. That is exactly what Business hosting is for!

It's no wonder that Business hosting provides higher overall performance. You have more control over how your apps are going to be configured on the server. Business web hosting provides you with dedicated system administrator tools, to keep things running smoothly. Business hosting is the preferable option if you are expected to have a high volume of internet traffic.

With more comprehensive security features, accessible only through business web hosting, you can secure your site more efficiently. If your company does online transactions more often, it needs personal data protection, upgrading to a business hosting server is a good idea. Business hosting provides essential security features, for a secure user experience including SSL certificates and firewalls. Business hosting gives the versatility to design your business site, and configure whatever programs and software you want, keeping your site light!

Performance

A good business hosting service can help you avoid a revenue loss. More than half the users will exit your site if it takes more than 3 seconds to load. With a business hosting plan, your pages load faster compared to a traditional hosting platform. Which allows you to convert more visitors into customers.

Dedicated business hosting is generally the best option if you're regularly posting files, or high-definition photographs. Business hosting gives you complete control over server resources. Unlike, other non-business hosting plans, which force you to share resources like CPU and RAM among many users.

Possible attacks on a business

Distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) is a simple yet very effective weapon in a hacker’s arsenal. A DDoS assault occurs when a hacker floods a website with a huge number of bot visitors, and it becomes overwhelmed and inaccessible to genuine users, effectively depriving them of service.

Hosting providers should control who has physical access to their servers, and they should do the same with virtual access. Carelessness regarding who has control over a server, and what information they have access to, can easily result in data loss and compromise the entire site.

DDoS assaults can be prevented, but once they breach security, they are difficult to resolve, therefore avoiding them before they begin is crucial. Hostdive accomplishes this by utilizing a DDoS protection system along with IP filtering and a Content Distribution Network (CDN) A CDN is a geographically spread group of servers, where cached information is kept, and delivered to customers when needed. This type of caching helps minimize the burden on the main server. Which makes it more difficult for DDoS assaults to disrupt service as well!

Security

For Admin log-in access, Business hosting providers should employ the Secure Socket Shell (SSH) network protocol. To manage systems and applications remotely and securely, SSH uses strong password authentication, public key authentication, and encrypted data transmission.

In addition to that SSL certificates should also be provided by a business host in case anyone is attempting to intercept data as it is carried across the internet. A data snooper will only see unreadable characters because of the SSL encryption. Hostdive provides SSL certificates in their hosting packages for free since SSL certificates are such an important aspect of website security, especially for businesses.

If not provided by a business host, an SSL certificate should be obtained separately. Search engines are increasingly identifying websites without SSL certificates as "insecure," which may drive users away. SSL certificates are provided with our Shared Web Hosting plan!

SEO friendly

Traditional hosting providers don't offer many SEO-related features, making it difficult for businesses to rank their websites at the top of search engines. When you use business hosting, for a powerful business brand, you gain practically complete control over your SEO. You can boost your ranking on search engines using the built-in SEO tools available for HostDive clients.

Customer support

When you work with a professional business hosting company, you're more likely to get excellent IT support 24/7. Proper maintenance is very important for any website, even a minor glitch can impair your website's operations. It's worth investing your time and money in a capable business hosting platform, that includes professional monitoring and problem resolution.

Backup

Backups are essential because you don't want to lose all your data, if your website is compromised or hacked, and you are forced to rebuild it from the ground. A business host should regularly backup the data up. Any emergency or an attack takes place, which results in the deletion of the entire site, or if something didn’t go according to plan, a client can set up the site again, and start doing business again like nothing has ever happened.

Apart from all that, Hostdive business hosting provides unlimited bandwidth for the large volume of internet traffic you would expect for a business website. Uptime is guaranteed so your site is never down. CMS installer, eCommerce functionalities, and many more amazing tools are included which are essential for business growth!
