We've always been in business for business, and our business web hosting plans reflect our continuing commitment to commerce. Our very first website was the Tarheel Mall, which eventually grew to more than 1,700 web stores and won a raft of web site awards. We implemented one of the first secure transaction systems on the web, provided one of the first web-based control panels, and our custom scripts are still used by many of our customers who say that they've never found anything better. Today, we aim for three goals in our business web hosting plans -- security, reliability, and ease of use.
Security
You want sales from your web sites, but you also want your customers' information to be kept private. We take security seriously. We constantly monitor our web servers for illicit traffic and security weaknesses. We never store your confidential data on publicly-accessible web servers, and our e-commerce systems are designed to combine powerful encryption with common sense precautions. Protecting confidential information is important to us. As part of this commitment, we are an authorized reseller of SSL certificates to secure your web site, including the new Extended Validation (green bar) certificates.
- Multi-layer security model with 24/7 monitoring
- High-grade encryption provided by Verisign, Thawte, and GeoTrust, including the new Extended Validation (green bar) certificates
- Compliant with PCI DSS standards to ensure that your credit card information is kept secure
- All web servers located in a secure facility with multi-factor authentication required for any physical access
Easy Website Management
- Flexible and simple hosting control panels to control your website (Webmin or Plesk available)
- Apache web server running on CentOS Linux means security and stability
- Three options for content management:
- WordPress -- the most popular content management system on the web. Five-minute setup and thousands of plugins make it easy and flexible.
- Joomla! -- one of the most popular content management systems available, with hundreds of extensions. Shopping carts, multilingual sites and message boards are just a few of the modules that you can use to extend your website.
- Drupal -- a complex but feature-rich system capable of handling almost any task. Learning Drupal can take a little time, but once you get the hang of it, there's almost nothing it can't do!
