Local Data Backup

Shared hosting is the most popular web hosting plan, basic. Shared web site hosting permits more than one site to be hosted on the same server. Here, the web hosts provide the system administration and the server maintenance. Benefits of a shared hosting site are programming features such as ASP, PHP, MySQL, large bandwidth, and multiple e-mail address capability. Compared to free web hosting, shared web hosting allows a user to have their own domain name. Shared hosting is a way for a hosting company to offer affordable web hosting to their clients while having more users on one server and thus less overhead costs. [ back to top ]

Off-site Data Storage

Free hosting is the most basic web hosting service. Banners ads are common on this type of website hosting (for example Geocities or Angelfire). There are a few free web site hosting providers in existence today that provide excellent options but that is the exception to the rule. Most free hosting plans do not provide users with MySQL databases, multiple e-mail accounts, or the ability to run any scripting language. The type of domain one receives in free web hosting is typically a sub-domain (yoursite.webhost.com) or a directory (www.webhost.com/~yoursite). Our recommendation is to avoid these kinds of web host services. Put a small investment in for cheap web hosting and get your own site, in the long run you will be happier and more satisfied.

Why is Off-site Data Storage Important?

Many small and medium sized businesses view off-site data protection services as a costly and unnecessary investment. However, new regulations, requirements and advancements have made off-site data a greater consideration. Sar-Net IT Services can help you with off-site data storage and its role in disaster protection, as well as inform you why is it necessary and how will it benefit your business?

Sar-Net IT Services can inform you of the dangers of relying solely on Local media backups and the threat that natural disasters or media failures can impose on your business. Often these crippling events result in much more than operational downtime and costs. The loss of your most crucial data and records can also impact your customers and employees.

Protect & Secure Your Data

Online backup services provide the software application, server space and customer service in a simple turnkey solution, with no additional software applications or equipment specifications to learn or purchase.

The installation and set-up is quick simple and painless. Your backups can be scheduled to run automatically, at any specific time and as often as you desire. Best of all, there are no media, tapes, disks or hardware to deal with.

Believe it or not, online backups are generally more secure than in-house backup solutions. If your computers or data are affected by natural disaster, power failure/surges, viruses, vandalism, theft, or human error, your in-house backup will suffer the same consequences.

The downside of tape backups is that they are not usually encrypted, and not very secure. Almost anyone can read them and gain access to your critical business data, customers, sales, prospects, notes, accounts receivable, payroll, HR info, tax filings, and everything else on your computer.

Online backups give you a tremendous bang for your buck. Setting up a traditional data protection plan will require software, hardware, media and a lot of your valuable IT resource time to set-up and protect your data on a daily basis. Online backups make all of these functions easy for a low monthly or annual fee.

In the event that you do need to restore lost data, you can transfer all of it to its original location in a matter of minutes with the click of the mouse. Your data is always available 24 hours a day - 7 days a week , 365 days a year. [ back to top ]
