Software Compatibility

Creating a website based on an established software platform is the easiest and most secure way to expand your online presence. Most of our clients use popular software packages to build their websites. This is why our servers have been tested with some of the most popular software packages in use today.

What are the benefits of using a popular software package?

Ease of use

Building a website from the ground up can be a hefty task. Popular web software packages come packed with features. Such software allows you to build a complex website with no coding. Even if you are a developer, a popular software package will save you plenty of work.

Security

Popular web software packages have huge user bases and communities. This helps vulnerabilities to be discovered and fixed quickly. We also take pro-active steps to prevent vulnerabilities in popular web software from affecting sites hosted on our servers.

Speed

Since many of our clients use popular software packages to build their websites, we have implemented additional software tweaks to optimize site speed. This increases the performance of the powerful hardware our servers use even further.
