NON-WORDPRESS WEBSITE HOSTING

Web Hosting?

Hosting is the physical storage space that actually holds all the files that make up your website — images, text, web pages, and links. This is what allows users to access your website anytime they type in your URL. It’s essentially the storage space where your website is stored and protected. 

Your business needs reliable, secure hosting to build your site and maintain it. Web hosting is like the filing cabinet and safe for your business files — it ensures that every piece of digital information stays secure and is easily accessed at the right time, in the right way, and by the right people. At the end of the day, this makes your business operations run smoothly. 

Custom Hosting Setup and Configuration

Whenever you build a website, you need to upload your files and databases to your hosting site. This is true regardless of the type of hosting you choose. 

If these transfers are not handled correctly, your site can be open to security breaches, negative SEO effects, or extensive downtime. This all hurts the function of your website. 

A customized hosting setup and configuration can handle these vital components, including:

• File transfer protocols (FTP)
• Database setup
• HTML/CSS file management 

Managed Hosting Solutions

Managed web hosting simply means that you outsource the day-to-day updates of your website. Regardless of the type of web hosting you choose, your website will need regular security updates and backups to ensure it functions smoothly.

Reliable web hosting is absolutely essential for a fast, reliable website. Our team offers affordable web hosting maintenance solutions that give you peace of mind knowing that your website is functioning optimally at all times. 

Automated Backups and Restoration

Data loss can be catastrophic for businesses. The servers that host your website need to be backed up regularly to ensure a timely restoration of data if there is a breach, human error, or even damage to the physical server location. 

SEO Design Chicago offers robust backup and restoration services, including:

• Cloud hosting backups
• Data migration
• Shared hosting backups 

SSL Installation and Renewal

An SSL certificate protects the sensitive data exchanged between two parties. This protects your site and users from potential security threats. 

The type of SSL certificate your business needs will depend on your domain type and the sensitivity of the data that your website processes. If your site handles legal or financial information, for example, it will need a higher level of security. Similarly, a website with multiple subdomains will need a different solution. Our team will specifically tailor your SSL solution to your business needs. 

Our customized hosting experience includes top-level SSL installation and renewal to ensure that your website data is encrypted safely. 

CDN Setup & Caching

A content delivery network speeds up website load times by keeping your data cached, or stored, across a variety of servers. Your shared hosting plan needs to include proper CDN setup and caching to ensure that your users can access your data when they need to. 

Database Hosting & Optimization

When you’re determining the right hosting type for you, you should make sure that your service offers both secure storage and ongoing scalability options. After all, you are laying the groundwork for your business to grow and thrive, so your database needs to be able to grow with it. 

You can choose shared web hosting, VPS, or dedicated hosting options for your databases. As a general rule of thumb, shared hosting plans cost less than dedicated hosting, with VPS hosting falling in the middle. Each option offers a different level of security and control. 

Our developers will help you navigate the range of hosting options available to you and identify the right mixture of features and affordable hosting solutions for your needs. 

Platform Migrations

Moving to a new hosting platform can be a headache, especially if you have a lot of data to back up. Just like any move, switching from a WordPress website to another CMS can cause a lot of display and storage issues at best and massive data loss at worst. It’s best to trust an experienced migration team for a big project like a migration. Our developers at SEO Design Chicago will custom quote a plan for you that will make the process as smooth and affordable as possible.

One major benefit of trusting SEO Design Chicago with your platform migration is that we will pay special attention to your SEO rankings. These are commonly disrupted during major migrations, and it can take months to recover your position on search engines.
