    How can you stop things like DDOS and brute force attacks?

    We use ConfigServer Security & Firewall on CloudLinux & Imunify360 - an extra layer if you will.

    wordpress and malware

    We run CloudLinux with CageFS & Imunify360, it's a great combo that served us well.

    cPanel ssl or Lets encrypt ssl?

    Either OR, they both work well.

    Perceived Value

    My clients love that I am personal, and easy to reach when it comes to support. This is amazing because I do have to sleep sometimes : ) I have found support to be #1 - you can have all the features you want, but if you're unavailable....they'll look elsewhere.

    VISUALIZATION

    IMHO, that works to a point, you still have to do the activity, the action steps to make things happen, you can't just think it and everything falls into place. No action will eventually wear out your positive thinking with no results. There is a to do list, not a think list.

    A really boring industry?

    Frankly, I have never advertised in what would be considered tradition digital vehicles, I used to run workshops and promoted my hosting biz as a sponsor of the workshops, that built a base, ever since then it's been word of mouth. Now, that's the hard way of doing things, because growth is very...

    We have only used Paypal, tried & true seems to work best for us.

    Enabling SSL on your Website

    I think SSL's are a way of life now, but there is difference between the FREE Certs and PAID for certs, the free certs do not have insurance, while PAID Certs from reputable firms do have some level of insurance.

    Managed versus unmanaged services

    Unless you know how to be a System Admin, get managed servers, otherwise....it won't take long to be compromised.

    WHMCS Expensive

    WHMCS is the Cadillac of Billing systems, the pain of changing to something different, and maybe, you lose some features and functionality. It's the price of doing business IMHO.

    3 year web hosting | Should buy or Not?

    The most I have ever considered committing to is 1 year, things change far to quickly to commit longer. Cheaper is rarely better, there are some things you can't buy upfront and have expectations met, there's always a disconnect. Having said that, paying upfront for 3 years means you know your...

    Email vs. Comments: Which is Better?

    I have found Social Media is a false sense of security and appeals to ones ego more than it serves any other purpose. Having said that, the only real value in building a business, is leveraging relationships you already have. I don't mean inviting your close friends to an Amway meeting, I mean...

    Whmcs vs Hostbill

    I've used them all one point, but settled on WHMCS more than 10 years ago. This is another item I consider doing the cost of doing business, lifetime licenses are becoming more and more a thing of the past.

    How do i know if my cPanel hosting is too expensive?

    It has been my experience, that if you are worried about how much web hosting costs, and you're in business, that's the wrong thing to be concerned about. Hosting is a cost of doing business, no matter the price. What services will you need most, and support matters most of all. Of course, it's...
