In order for your website to be both fast and reliable, it is essential that it is hosted at a professional data centre. Whilst it is possible for companies to host their website from their own network, this usually creates issues with their network security and with reliability and speed.
Depending on the complexity and security required for their websites, companies either opt to use a shared platform for their website or to have their own dedicated server.
In addition to standard website hosting, ION is proud to offer the new Dot Net Nuke website platform. The new platform has a number of advantages over the standard website method.
- Websites can be edited directly online. There is no need to change the content on a PC and upload it. This makes changes easier and quicker.
- You can choose a “skin” for your website with you colours, fonts and logos. Once set up, each page on the site keeps the same look and feel. This makes the website look extremely professional without the need to check every page.
- If you wish to change the “look and feel” of your site, you simply make the change to the skin, and the entire site adopts the changes. You don’t have to change every page!
- There are a number of different modules available either for free or for a minor charge.
- These modules allow you to add functionality to your site, ranging from simple menus to a full e-commerce application. Using these modules is far easier and significantly cheaper than having to commission custom applications.
- Due to the modular nature of the system, clients can perform their own updates which gives them instant and granular control of their website without the need to use a 3rd party for every change.
