How Pleth Protects Your Business & Your Data
I was reading this BBC article about how the Avsim site was recently destroyed by hackers. It occurred to me that this was an opportunity to illustrate how hosting your site or storing your data with Pleth, LLC is a sound business decision.
The attack took down the site's two servers and the owners had not established an external backup system.
The site's founder, Tom Allensworth, said that the site would be down for the foreseeable future and was unsure "if we can come back at all".
"The method of the hack makes recovery difficult, if not impossible, to recover from," Mr Allensworth said in a statement.
"AVSIM is totally offline at this time and we expect to be so for some time to come. We are not able to predict when we will be back online, if we can come back at all. "...
Speaking to the BBC, Derek Davis, editor of PC Pilot magazine, said: "It looks like 13 years of hard work on Toms part could have been wiped out."
We know how much work goes into developing your brand, your site and/or your data. I have written many articles about how important protecting your digital assets is to our company. We make no secret that hosting at Pleth is not as cheap as it may be with one of the larger hosting companies. While there may be a difference in cost, there is also a difference in philosophy. With Pleth frequent, off-site data backups are not an up sell. They are a basic service that we roll into our hosting. We provide this service to every customer. Many are not even aware that in the event of a catastrophic event their site can be rapidly recovered and even restored down to bare metal.
