Don’t Lose your Sites, Lists, and Blogs
November 15, 2008
So you’ve invested a great deal of effort in growing the online business you’ve built. You know first hand how hard it is to build a successful online business and no matter how young or old it is, it’s alot to keep up with.Only you know the sacrifice, financial investment, and hours of work that it took to make your business a reality.Is there the potential of losing everything in one fell swoop?
Unfortunately, the answer is yes it can. A minor mistake on your part can wipe out everything you have worked so hard to build and grow. Since you are a Internet Marketer, I am sure you have heard the horror stories about what happens to other marketers having server crashes, malicious takeovers, hackers, corrupted data, and even uploading bad versions of a site. Let alone having the master system you create it all with go down with a failed disk, virus, or any number of data corrupting events.
You might be doing everything right and don’t have to worry about anything. But you “Do it All” and knowing and doing everything by yourself is tough. Especially when its comes to technical detail when your expertise is your business and not computer minutia.
How do you protect your business and yourself? Do you trust your host, your home/work computer, manual copies and printouts. But if you have sites, blogs, and stores on multiple hosts (which are likely running Linux), and your work system has your original work (which is likely Windows or MAC).How do you keep the product of your hard work safe?
It’s simple really, use Internet Attached Storage.The most feature rich systems will handle not only your home/work systems, but dedicated servers as well… With a single account which lets you use, modigy, and restore data to and from anywhere. You can take advantage of the growing acceptance and demand of regular home users for online backup which has driven down pricing where it’s affordable and fully featured. More and more online businesses are using Internet Attached Storage for backup of their dedicated servers, shared hosts, and work/home pc’s. And for good reason.
What you need to look for is a provider of Internet Attached Storage with advanced features.The most important features are that it works with Linux, Windows, and MAC.That they efficiently use bandwidth.Which means that they only backup changes to your files (after the initial upload). And that it has versioning which is perfect for keeping several older copies of changes. The last consideration is that they provide value for the dollar. Don’t be fooled by claims of “unlimited” storage at a fixed price.You’ll quickly discover that the Terms of Service for many providers will limit how much you can backup.
So you can lose it all if your data (blogs, stores, websites) are destroyed by viruses, hackers, or hardware failures. But now with Internet Attached Storage you can backup all your sites and systems with a single account easily, quickly, and affordably.
