When your business does business on the internet, your website is your storefront. An unreliable website will erode customer confidence and if left unchecked will ultimately lead to lost business. Click Rain is proud to offer managed hosting with a focus on performance and reliability.

The Risks of Self-Hosting Your Website

Self-hosting your website can seem like a cost-effective option, but often it is a recipe for disaster. Consider the following challenges if you're contemplating self-hosting:

Whether or not you build the website, if you self-host, the continued operation and functionality of your site is now your responsibility. If visitors encounter obscure errors on your site, get ready to scour the internet for solutions. Click Rain offers a dedicated team ready to resolve any issues your site may encounter.

Keeping your website's software up-to-date is no longer an option — it's a necessity. From automated bot attacks to malicious actors seeking to specifically harm or exploit your business, you're locked into ensuring that your site's software is secure. Click Rain's maintenance package will give you the peace of mind that your site is routinely updated.

With self-hosting, you'll need to manage a backup routine that ensures you'll be able to recover in the event of a hardware failure. You'll also need to maintain SSL certificates to ensure that your customers can safely and securely connect to your site. Additionally, you'll need to protect yourself against bursts of traffic (a good thing!) that can quickly overwhelm your site and take it offline (a bad thing!).
