Website Absolutes

Domain: Any website has an address, a URL or Domain Name that is unique and can expire.

Content: When people visit the Domain, they should see something. This is where web designers and website updates apply incurring you cost.

Hosting: That Content has to be stored on some hard drive somewhere in the World, this "storage" is Hosting.

Dinarius has recommended time again for our own clients to try to use the same provider for all three absolutes when it's possible. Taking advantage of a business requires hording passwords and UserID's and over-billing for Hosting and website updates that may or may not happen on time. Passwords and UserID's are essential for controlling the Website Absolutes like Domain Registrar, Domain Name Hosting and FTP uploading or website updates.

UControl Website Insurance short circuits this avenue of mistrust by first arranging your existing services in the most cost effective manner. This sometimes means changing Domain Name Servers or Hosting companies which increases security and your control over your company's website. Once the dust has settled, the policy holder receives a PDF to print for their records loaded with passwords, providers and UserID's with easy access to statements and clear billing.

The most exciting aspect is that after six months, your company's quoted Premium can GO DOWN if it was an especially slow term prior to re-evaluation! Policies differ from one holder to the next. They're based on update needs and the style of website your company already has. Remember, UControl Website Insurance is not a website redesign.

Static and Informative

Policy: Update Urgency: Whether promotional or strictly informative, static sites populate the World Wide Web more than either other. They come in all shades and all sizes.

These sites are dominated by still pictures and text that cannot be modified by a visitor.

Static sites are most commonly not updated properly and left out-of-date.

Animated interactivity

Policy: Urgency: Many businesses were sold animated Flash templates after web designers followed the fashion of technology.

They make sounds, flash and fade and require visitors have special software.

Due to the aggrevation of updating an animated site, web designers ensured more "timeless" content was authored and then they become unreachable.

Dynamic database driven

Policy: Urgency: These sites allow visitors to participate.

They foster community and can allow user-created content like YouTube or a Forum.

The software that drives dynamic sites is evolving, sometimes free and mostly time-consuming to manage correctly. Backend security is positively vital for these site types.

If your business is prolific enough to regularly pass numbers like $10,000.00 in a transaction, then it's managed by smart people. Smart people get good in business by not being easy to take advantage of. However, with all the complexities of the Internet and seeming redundance of starting and running a website, even people with business smarts can be taken advantage of when they shouldn't be.
