FAQ: Managed Hosting

Yes you can. Plus, we’ve got a dedicated migration team standing by to handle the entire migration for free. This includes your sites and apps, as well as email, files, and any other data you’re hosting elsewhere.

If you’re thinking about upgrading your existing hosting solution, our dedicated solutions architects can help you build a managed hosting solution that perfectly matches your needs. This includes everything from hosting, virtual networking, virtual desktops, file storage, and custom backup schedules.

Your Storm managed server(s) can be customised as you see fit. But, to avoid server management overlap and potential security oversights, it’s best to let your SupportPod take care of any customisation you may require.

Managed hosting is both suitable and recommended for eCommerce websites and sites or apps that store sensitive data. We’ve already covered the most important reasons why above, but here’s a quick recap:

Expertly managed

eCommerce websites usually carry greater risk because of the information they store. This demands that certain requirements are met in terms of security, backups, and compliance. With managed hosting these are taken care of by Storm, leaving you and your teams free to focus on boosting your bottom line.

PCI compliance

Quarterly external vulnerability scans check your server for vulnerabilities and other factors that may influence compliance with the Payment Card Industry standards. With our managed hosting solutions, your SupportPod will address any potential vulnerabilities and other issues that may negatively impact your server’s compliance status.

Enhanced security

You’re also protected by stringent security measures to safeguard against potential threats. This includes firewalls, intrusion detection systems, and malware scanning. These advanced security protocols are crucial for e-commerce websites that handle financial transactions and store customer information.

SSL certificates

SSL certificates are essential for e-commerce sites. Storm will manage (install and renew) SSL certificates on your behalf to ensure that information exchanged between your server and customers are always encrypted.

Performance

Uptime and reliability is critical for eCommerce and mission-critical sites and applications. With managed hosting your dedicated Support Pod will continuously monitor performance and resource usage, and make the necessary adjustments to help ensure that your sites and applications are always performing at their peak.
