Build Your Brand without SEO

Leave a reply

A brand is the most important word in the world of business. People do not look at products or  services, but they see the brand as a whole. Consumers have become very clever when it comes to buying products or getting services rendered for them. A brand in itself is a complete package that comprises of the idea, execution, products & services, quality and support. Branding is a very complex process and needs lot planning to make it work.

First off all, it needs a website to showcase what the business is all about, this means the people involved, time of inception, the products & services, etc. Designing a website also requires lot of thinking and planning, designs, layout, colours, content, etc. A website has to be responsive, i.e. it should be compatible on all mobile devices like Laptops, Smartphone’s, Tablets, etc.

Most of the SMB’s are not aware of SEO services; they may not know what Search Engine Optimization is all about. Small business like retail stores may design a website for their business, but would not want to invest in these services. In this case an inbound marketing strategy would not come in use as well, because that would incorporate aspects like email, newsletters, blogs, articles, press releases, etc.

So how does a brand build its presence in this highly competitive world? Well, one aspect would be the use of outbound marketing to reach consumers by media advertising, face to face meetings, cold calling, etc. Most of the companies still resort to tradition outbound marketing techniques to reach a wider audience in the shortest amount of time.  Outbound marketing techniques are appreciated by an older kind of audience, as they are used to televisions, radios, flyers, commercials, etc.

An outbound marketing campaign needs more investment than inbound techniques, but smaller business would want to use that because it provides a greater impact with a wider audience.  Well, there is another way of building brand presence without heavy investments- social media. Every individual accesses social media sites such as Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Google+, Pinterest, etc. Enterprises can create their own page on social media sites and start posting on them; they could also embed a social media widget or API on their site for users, consumers to access and know more about the products and services.

Last, but not the least, use chat messengers like what’s app to send the link of their website, social media profile or even just pass on the message of a new business inception. These are some ways by which, businesses can build their brand value without using the power of SEO.

Clients use it as a means to lower web hosting costs and maximizing utilization of resources, and this technology has proved to be a flexible & scalable hosting solution for websites, databases and applications.

Virtual Servers provide enterprises with dedicated memory, disk space, server level operating systems, software, and customization. Processor manufacturers have started designing processor that are capable of supporting virtualization technology, while network experts create virtual servers with smart software’s.

Why Virtualize?
Consolidation of space through virtual server management can conserve space. Network experts can consolidate all the resources for power hungry applications into one server running virtual environments.

Server redundancy can be achieved by virtualization, thus if one server fails to run, another server can take its place on which the application has been hosted, this eliminates downtime and increases availability.

Each virtual server runs its own applications and thus individuals can run software’s without affecting other systems and resources.

If old hardware also called as a legacy system, needs to be replaced with new systems, network administrators can create virtual systems to run applications without any interruptions.

cPanel manages your Virtual Servers
cPanel has been one of the most used control panels for Linux operating systems that include shared, virtual private servers and dedicated servers. cPanel server management can perform each and every task from a single console, be it server setup, hardening, optimizing, hardening, etc.

System administrators use control panels to install new software updates, optimize and secure servers, server migration and monitoring, 3rd party installations, and backup and recover data and lots more.

Power your website with WordPress Support & Security

Leave a reply

Publishing online can be very easy with WordPress. This CMS delivers the easiest platform to create blogs and free websites. WordPress lets you create simple, beautiful and powerful websites or blogs. It lets you setup your own domain name, it is SEO friendly, has the best support with a plethora of premium plans, etc.

As there are so many sites designed on this platform, WordPress security is imperative. As various WordPress sites are hosted on thousands of servers there could be a time when these servers could cause problems and websites could experience down-time as well. Major server outages could cause a WordPress site to be down for a very long time. WordPress Server Support is another issue when it comes to WordPress sites.

A hacker can break into a WordPress website in different ways, such as security vulnerability of the hosting platform, security issues in WordPress themes, plugins and passwords. There are many webhosts available who provide WordPress Server Support, WordPress can be hosted on Free, Shared, VPS, Dedicated, & Managed Servers. To install WordPress we need to have PHP or MySQl installed on the system.

This support mostly includes 24X7 monitoring of servers, domain names, disk space, MySQL databases, email addresses, plugins, etc. WordPress runs better on a Linux/Unix server rather than a Windows Server as there are certain plugins that don’t work on the Windows server. WordPress Security can be a tedious task to handle, but there are some ways by which these vulnerabilities can be handled. These steps can make your site safer.

Webhosts and webmasters need to download updates from WordPress as they introduce new features and seal security glitches, these updates have to be implemented at all costs. The next step to a stronger and safer WordPress website is a strong password, the admin access needs to be changed.

Your websites need to be protected from Brute Force Attacks and malware.  Files to be writable by the web server can cause potential damage to the website. Locking down file permissions and providing restrictions adds to WordPress security. Always publish multiple blogs on different databases, as it acts as a containment strategy. Monitoring your ports, logs and file changes can keep your websites and blogs safe.

There are many plugins in WordPress that act as firewalls, these firewalls modify the .htaccess file, that restricts access at an Apache level. Last but not the least, choose the right web host to take care of your websites and blogs, this includes WordPress Server Support and WordPress Security.  
 

Joomla Website & Server Security

Leave a reply

 Joomla- Design and Code that’s Secure!

Joomla has been one of the best content management systems(CMS) for more than a decade. The most important feature of Joomla is that it is built on an MVC( Model-View-Controller) platform. It can store databases in MYSQL, MSSQL and PostgreSQL. Joomla is a content management system that allows designers to build simple yet aesthetic web sites, blogs and other powerful online applications.  This content management system takes care of text, photos, video, music, etc.  But it boils down to a few things that we need to look at when designing and coding and hosting Joomla websites, that is Joomla Server Support & Joomla Security.

A Joomla website, blog, or application can be used to design corporate websites, intranets, e-commerce, government applications, data reporting tools, reservation systems, integrated e-commerce systems, etc. There have been many versions of Joomla since its creation, the latest version would be Joomla ! 3.4.1.  When it comes to Joomla Server Support, it can be deployed on either servers i.e. Windows or Linux. But web hosts always prefer to host Joomla on Linux servers manually or with cPanel / Webmin.

There are a few things we need to take care about Joomla Server Support, i.e. Server settings like changing the path of the temp directory, Gzip page compression, error reporting, SSL, etc. We also need to setup location settings, ftp settings, database settings, & mail settings. Let’s look at the other aspect of Joomla i.e. Joomla Security. Clients look at security, as the most important aspect post development as hackers continue to turn websites upside down.

There are a few ways Joomla websites can be protected from malwares, malicious code and hackers. Joomla brings out the latest security updates at regular intervals, it is imperative for web-hosts to use these security updates. Insecure third party extensions, when installed can cause hackers to do their thing. Thus, website owners or web hosts should use third party installations or extensions from trusted sources. Joomla Security can be strengthened by using strong usernames and passwords. Restricting file permissions makes it harder for hackers to hack or edit your files. There are many other ways to secure your Joomla website, blog or application, these were some of them.

There is no CMS that is 100% secure, yet Joomla websites, blogs, and applications are rather simple, aesthetic, powerful & secure.

We do both Joomla web development  as well as Server Management for web servers which have Joomla websites! Get in touch if you need any help or advise!!
