Businesses can lose millions of dollars when their websites go down or are hacked.

During this time, customers struggle to get critical information and are unable to make purchases. Even worse, the business’s brand and reputation can take a hit.

Server overload is one of the top reasons websites crash. Infrastructure issues, spikes in web traffic, and hacks are some of the main causes of these overloads; hackings are prevalent all around the world.
