Do you know where your web site is hosted?
Do you know where your web site is being hosted? While talking to a web site design client recently, we found his current web site was being hosted in Australia. Why on earth would a web site owned by a midwestern company be hosted in Australia, you might ask, especially when there were so many quality - reasonably priced companies in the US. Then we found that the hosting service was sold by a Yahoo affiliate out of California.
China? It might surprise some to find that their web sites may be hosted in such far-away places as China and India. But should it? Many web design companies who provide web site design and development services do not maintain their own web servers, they simply resell foreign hosting services to their customers.
The Internet is Becoming Much More Important!
But when your site is being hosted overseas and problems with your site arise, what are you to do. The reseller has completed their work for you -- and you may have communication problems with your hosting firm. And if you're working with someone like Yahoo in

Where in the world is my Site?
California representing a foreign hosting company, you might have issues simply because the person you're talking to has to talk to three or four others just to get to the individual who needs to do the work.
Is it a problem? If you don't think it's a problem, consider this; to maintain favorable search positions on the various search engines you must update your web site at least once every six to nine months. And if you don't, your search position may start losing advantagous search position. If you can't do it yourself, you'll have to pay for someone to do it for you. In the case discussed here, you're going to pay plenty because of the number of people and companies involved!
Tightweb not only designs your web site -- but we can also provide top notch hosting services on one of our three regional server sites as well. And when you talk to your representative about issues - or have questions, he or she may actually have 'hands-on' access to the hardware at issue. It's Control Panel and File Manager allow Tightweb clients to update their web sites themselves easily - whenever they wish.

If you're looking at price, quite frankly no one, regardless of location, can beat the design and development prices offered by Tightweb and its partners. Provide us with a previous quote from another company and we'll guarantee we can beat it BY AT LEAST 20%!!

Tightweb has completed a major upgrade in both of its midwestern hosting sites. Upgrades have included hardware, servers and software (including operating systems). In addition, both mail servers have been upgraded.

Tightweb and its partners have developed and placed a new tool entitled 'Help Desk - Knowledge Base' on its hosting site (http://tightweb.net). This tool provides fairly large amounts of information for clients and non-clients alike, regarding the internet in general - and Tightweb applications and tools in particular. This application allows users to search for specific words or phrases in the knowledge database - and if they can't find an answer, they can ask questions and get answers emailed back to them.

Tightweb has installed Spam Assassin to provide hightened security to its mail server thereby providing greater safety to its hosting clients.
Some More Thoughts About Web Safety!
(Second in a series of Security Discussions) Ever get an email that offers special deals as it asks for you to click on an image or button to get the information? This is never a good idea since most hackers rely heavily upon email to enter your PC, and your kindled interest in their mailing to click on something that allows the hacker to set up a program or cookie in your computer!

This may not sound too serious to you, but the nature of the cookie or program they insert into your PC is very serious indeed. The hacker will place a program in your computer which can copy your computer key strokes and pass them on to the hacker for them to reproduce. This can provide hackers' with important, valuable information about you. For example, if you pay a bill on your computer - and one of these programs resides in your PC, you've just gaven away your credit card information, perhaps your bank account numbers and possibly even your social security numbers.

If you don't know the sender of the email, do not open any programs or even click on any buttons or images in the email. The temptation may be strong - and the email may look harmless, but remember the dangers described here. The struggle against identity theft, web and email scams and fraud is an important fight and one that we are increasing losing at alarming rates! Tightweb wants to help you learn how to to protect yourself from hacker threats? Each month Tightweb's Security Director will provide another 'tip' designed to help you defeat the dangers posed by internet.
