Software Compatibility
What are the benefits of using a popular software package?
Ease of use
Building a website from the ground up can be a hefty task. Popular web software packages come packed with features. Such software allows you to build a complex website with no coding. Even if you are a developer, a popular software package will save you plenty of work.
Security
Popular web software packages have huge user bases and communities. This helps vulnerabilities to be discovered and fixed quickly. We also take pro-active steps to prevent vulnerabilities in popular web software from affecting sites hosted on our servers.
Speed
Since many of our clients use popular software packages to build their websites, we have implemented additional software tweaks to optimize site speed. This increases the performance of the powerful hardware our servers use even further.
