Site as a Service
The Site as a Service (SaaS) model is a provided service that includes Webdesign, hosting, security, updates, and ongoing maintenance.
The primary benefits of SaaS include lower cost, modern design updates that do not depreciate, and continuous support.
YourComputer.Expert does not have an initial charge for the setup and design of the website; However, you may purchase the design separately.
Dedicated Hosting
Dedicated Hosting is a specific type of server hosting that implies hardware resources are dedicated to a single client.
Other hosting types include Shared and VPS, which either share resources directly with other clients on the same server or virtually.
YourComputer.Expert ensures each client has their own separate hardware, explicitly dedicated to only their website.
Cloud-based Backups
Cloud-based backups create a duplicate of the entirety of the website, along with its database and settings.
A proper and consistent backup schedule ensures faults are immediately resolved until a solution is found.
YourComputer.Expert uses backups, staging, and real-time monitoring to fix issues invisibly.
SSL & HSTS
Secure Socket Layer (SSL) is a method of end-to-end encryption that keeps data confidential on the internet.
HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS) enforces SSL by denying access to non-SSL portions of a website.
While most providers include SSL, YourComputer.Expert also has HSTS by default with no additional cost.
Website Maintenance
Maintaining your website is the process of ensuring both the visible frontend and invisible backend are up-to-date.
This means your website keeps up with modern standards both in look and technically.
YourComputer.Expert allocates a monthly allowance of included hours for these tasks, keeping your site current.
PCI-DSS Compliance
Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI-DSS) is a set of security standards for payment gateways.
This standard is used by Visa, MasterCard, Discover, JCB, and AmEx to secure transactions against fraud.
YourComputer.Expert ensures PCI-DSS compliance on all websites that take credit or debit card information.
Content Distribution Network
A content distribution network (CDN) is a geographically distributed group of servers that hold identical content.
CDNs work by making copies of your website physically close to visitors, making it faster and still visible during downtime.
YourComputer.Expert makes use of a highly rated, secure, SSL and HTTP/2 compatible national CDN for applicable tiers.
Server Uptime
Server uptime refers to when a server is both online and accessible for use.
The web services industry considers an uptime of 99.95% high availability, the best standard.
YourComputer.Expert's host boasts this rate for all tiers of service!
Staging Environment
A staging environment contains a copy of your live site, where changes can be prototyped and tested.
The most obvious benefit is that it allows you to see exactly how changes will affect a website before going live.
YourComputer.Expert utilizes staging to test both frontend and backend changes, allowing complete deployment control.
Managed Security
Managing website security is a step above simple encryption, proactively looking for threats.
Utilizing Web Application Firewalls (WAFs), malware scanning, and preventative measures, including obscurity.
YourComputer.Expert takes great pride in its security measures and will codify anti-hacking services in the contract.
Organic SEO
Organic Search Engine Optimization (SEO) refers to ranking higher in search results without paid advertising.
Your website can passively generate increased traffic by optimizing content based on Google's guidelines.
YourComputer.Expert will create and modify content to boost incoming visitors without paying for more marketing.
