Choosing a hosting provider isn’t just a matter of balancing against bandwidth, performance and capacity. A business needs to ensure that information on a hosted server remains on the server, that the server is always available, and that the data can’t be corrupted, stolen or accessed by unauthorised parties.

It is essential that a hosting provider does not leave a business open to security breaches. Not only can web site downtime lead to lost revenue but employee productivity can be severely hampered if access to centralised databases and applications, such as email, is not available. For those businesses handling their own customer’s data it is likely that they will be under a legal obligation to ensure it is secure.

Zen Internet’s White Paper provides advice on how you can mitigate the security risks associated with hosting business critical data or applications offsite and the selection criteria that should be considered when reviewing potential hosting providers.
