Secure Web Hosting Australia

Choosing secure web hosting, or not taking steps to determine if you have, is part of the risk profile you create for your business. With recent examples of online data being compromised (Sony, Distribute IT) if you aren't wondering if you have secure web hosting you should be!

Many organisations are subject to the Privacy Act and other regulatory bodies that will not tolerate you taking inadequate steps to protect your data when it identifies your customers, members, subscribers, visitors or staff.  Think carefully now about what your website stores about people and then ask yourself if you know if you have secure web hosting?

You may have ensured that your website was developed properly and is secure, but if the web hosting security is not up to scratch you are still exposed. Providing secure web hosting costs money, the systems, monitoring and vigilance required demand expert staff and constant attention.  If a budget price alone drove your web host decision then you need to wonder what costs have been cut by the provider to keep their prices low. 

Secure Web Hosting Alternatives

Shared web hosting is potentially the least secure web hosting as it may expose your website to security issues in other websites hosted on the server.  Some web hosting providers, will provide more access to shared servers, e.g. shell access, than is safe to do so. AusTiger Hosting does not provide any shell or high risk access to shared servers to ANY clients.

VPS Hosting, done properly, is by it's nature is a much more secure web hosting option.  With VPS hosting your website is not exposed to any risk from other websites on the server, but may still be subject to some risk from external attack if the web server security is not kept up to date and the environment it is provided in isn't properly secured. If you manage your own VPS Server you are responsible for the security of it, alternatively AusTiger Hosting offers Managed VPS Hosting services and in that case we take care of your server security for you.
