Our NerdCare Assurance plans are very popular with our clients, and we’ve prepared this little video to show you how you can easily add NerdCare assurance to your website if you don’t already have it.

Jess is a Mom to two girls, including 3 year-old ‘Angel’, a very Special Kid. Jess writes a blog on the journey that they are taking through life with a Special Kid, and she depends on Nerds On Site and our NerdCare Assurance to take care of the technical details of her blog. She recently wrote to us to thank us for the latest round of security patches that our team automatically applied for her blog.

I just logged in and saw that the updates were taken care of. Thank you so much. I can’t tell you what a relief it is to see that updates are needed and know that I don’t have to try to figure out how to do it every time (especially since they seem to be doing them so frequently lately!)

Regular maintenance is essential for your site.

One of the most disheartening experiences for me is to listen to a client who has just found out their website is broken, and they don’t understand how or why that happened. All the client knows is that their website worked when it was built (usually years ago) but now some aspects of it just don’t operate properly.

WHY does this happen? Websites are like everything else in life – they breakdown absent of regular maintenance. Your car needs a regular oil change, brake inspection, engine tuneup, etc in order to continue operating at the same level as when you purchased it. Your computer needs regular updates for the OS and software, especially as new vulnerabilities and bugs are found. In the world of the Internet, technology moves quickly – web languages evolve, vulnerabilities are discovered, old technologies are discontinued, unsecure practices are marginalized or blocked…

WHAT can you do to maintain your website? It’s easy – add Hosting NerdCare! Hosting NerdCare is designed to keep your website maintained and UP. Websites powered by Joomla or WordPress are currently supported, and our team regularily updates these sites to ensure that they are using the latest standards and technologies.

Email is critical to our clients, and we’ve just added a fantastic new feature to our Hosting NerdCare Assurance that will really help our clients. All clients covered by Hosting NerdCare now have their email prioritized on our mail servers. This means that if an email is received for one of our NerdCare clients, our mail servers immediately put it at the top of our mail queue. Similarity, if one of our NerdCare clients sends out an email, our mail servers will make it its first priority.

If you need quick, reliable email, contact our team today to learn more about our Hosting NerdCare Assurance packages!

Every day, criminals are attacking thousands of legitimate websites and injecting malware on them, with a new web page getting infected every 1.3 seconds. If your website is injected with malware your company will suffer significant losses of traffic, reputation and revenue.

All of our hosting clients are protected by a daily defacement scan, and we offer NerdCare Assurance packages to protect our clients with hourly hack detection. Contact us today to learn how we can protect your company’s website from becoming a statistic.

Ted Wernham, BA CLU CFSB EPC

Entering his 37th year serving clients and offering solutions to money matters, especially about how to balance the need for income with the leisure of retirement, Ted Wernham (wernhamwealth.com) has been winning awards and recognition for outstanding client and community service. He has received special recognition as “Outstanding Young Londoner” and is an Honorary Citizen of the City of Biloxi, Mississippi, USA.

In December of last year, Ted saw the benefit of adding the protection and service of Hosting NerdCare Assurance to his company’s website. Our NerdCare Assurance plans (read more) add a combination of protection through our hourly hack detection and daily disaster recovery with constant maintenance with regular content updates.

Ted says, “Thank you very much for your prompt response the other day (as always). Very much appreciate your assistance. Our company really appreciates your responsiveness and professionalism!” Ted then adds, “after 37 years in professional sales, the difference is in the service. Jonathan and his team, deliver. Bottom line … They get it done!”

The world of website security is a quickly changing, shifting environment. One moment your website may be as secure as you could make it, and the next moment a new vulnerability may be found in the site. The hundreds of thousands of clients world-wide using Content Management Systems (CMS) like Joomla, Drupal or WordPress are the most at risk. Due to the popularity of these systems, hackers have learned that they merely have to find a vulnerability in one copy of Joomla to infect over a hundred thousand websites at virtually the same time.

This week so far has been a somewhat special week in Joomla security particularly, as the Joomla security team has released two security patches, only days apart. If your company is running a Joomla CMS website, has your team upgraded your site to the latest version? What this done twice already this week?

At Nerds On Site, we offer NerdCare Assurance packages to our Joomla clients (as well as clients using any other CMS system), and all our NerdCare Assurance clients were upgraded by our team this week. First, our team upgraded all of our clients on Monday, using the latest patches available that day. Then, late last night our team upgraded all our clients again, using the 1.5.17 patch that was released at that time. This service offers peace-of-mind to our client. By having NerdCare Assurance protecting their website, they never have to worry about the latest patches and security releases, as our team will take care of that for free, no matter how many new patches are released in a week.

Over the past 7 days, we’ve tried to explain some of the features of our NerdCare Assurance packages. We’ve talked about our monitoring, backup, disaster recovery, hack detection, preventative maintenance and content updates, and these are just the major points in our Assurance packages.

Our packages are designed to increase your Productivity, Pleasureability and Profitability, and in addition to our pre-packaged Bronze and Silver solutions we offer customized packages for your unique needs. All of our packages include guaranteed response times and flat rates to allow your business easily budget. Since downtime and recovery due to hacking can cost thousands of dollars per incident, our Assurance packages give you peace of mind with flat rate costs.

If the information we’ve shared over the past few days hasn’t already clearly showed the lengths we are willing to go for our clients, consider this. All clients covered by our Silver package will be contacted by a member of our team at least once a month to ensure that we are doing all we can for your website and your business. Imagine your current hosting provider initiating contact once a month to make sure that all your needs are being met!

This level of support translates really resulting a protection of your image and brand, as well assuring the quickest possible response times and smallest amount of downtime. At the end of the day, Hosting NerdCare Assurance will have a direct effect on your bottom line, by ensuring that your website is up all the time!
