You have a domain like www.mrplumber.com. That domain is purchased from a registrar. You can keep the domain pointed where it is or you can point it at another server. Wherever you pointed the domain will determine where the records are managed. Most of our clients point their domain at our server and we manage all records including emails and the website files. However, some clients don’t point the domain at our server and instead adjust the records so that the mail record (MX record) goes to a mail server like GSuite and the files record (A record) goes to our server. The server has the files and database that make the website work.
Here are some of our tricks: All of the images are not loaded until you scroll to them. All the code is compressed and files combined. We remove plugins unless they’re actually needed. And most important, the server itself is very fast. By using 3 layers of caching on the server, we can make a full-featured fancy website behave like a minimal one. Many of the other details and tricks are too techy to mention. Just check out the results!
The main reason that hackers hack is to make money. It’s usually a script that they run looking for poorly set up websites with entry points. We will do whatever we can to deflect their efforts. They usually redirect your website to an online store, put in a backlink to one of their clients, or have an affiliate link for something like Viagra. It’s nothing personal or political.
Speed and security upgrades can be purchased separately. Regardless of where you are hosting your website, we can get you better results. This is a great option for people who are happy with their web hosting but had a web developer not address website speed and security. Remember that both are included free in Starwheel web hosting, so you might consider making the switch.
