With Cefar, it's never just a case of creating a website and then leaving well alone. We are also here to work with the best and most reliable hosting partners to make sure that the site is up and running reliably, economically and for the long term.
As you may have gathered by now, we never see any job as being 100% complete so in addition to offering hosting services, this also runs alongside ongoing support. This may include identifying issues and acting quickly to resolve them. It could mean carrying out analysis of website traffic and devising ways to increase, direct and control it. Or it can just mean being ready to help with the natural evolution of the website.
Here are the technologies that we use:
It may also be that a client also wants to carry out testing to see whether one design or approach can be more effective than another. We can help with this too by designing, developing and hosting the alternative, or alternatives, and instigating the testing process.
Our comprehensive maintenance service includes many aspects like ensuring that all content management system updates are carried out, along with changes to plug-ins and modules. There is also scheduling of essential back-ups as well as all server and security updates that need to be made.
It's essential that all of these are carried out frequently as failure to do this can mean that a site is prone to outages, slow running and even hacks. With more and more cyber crime occurring today, the latter is especially important if you want to stay safe and secure.

Perhaps most importantly, when you sign up with Cefar for your website hosting and maintenance, you are putting everything in our hands, leaving you with nothing to worry about and us with the responsibility to ensure everything runs smoothly.
With frequent audits and constant monitoring added into the mix, we'd say that our ongoing support does much more than just supports. It develops, refines and improves at the same time. The results of this approach will then speak for themselves in a number of ways.
Because the servers we use are tried and tested you can look forward to optimum performance that will continue to work well even as a website grows and becomes more complex. It will also allow for sudden traffic spikes, as and when that they occur.
With some servers, the activity of other sites on it can also slow yours down, but the ones we use have more than enough capacity to ensure that this never becomes an issue.
We are also very pro-active in our approach to all hardware, software and network updates, whether they are major or minor in size. Sometimes these inevitably introduce bugs that need to be resolved and you can rely on us to do this on your behalf.
Something that we always impress on all of our clients is also the over-riding importance of carrying out frequent and comprehensive back-ups. This is because, however reliable the servers that we use, there will always be the danger of failures occurring which can result in potential losses of data. But, by instigating failsafe systems, it enables us to mitigate against this from ever becoming an issue.
Last, but by no means least, we know that there will always be a need to finesse and develop websites as businesses and their requirements change. Often, this can lead to unwanted and costly downtime for a site, so we make sure that this is never the case. While these enhancements are being made your existing site will always be up and running.
