Pro-Plus Hosting Plan

Our Pro Plus Plan provides medium to large businesses a complete, enterprise level hosting environment.

All of Northern lights web hosting solutions are performance tuned for hosting dynamic database powered applications such as Joomla, phpBB, WordPress or in fact any PHP / MYSQL script.

As your website grows you can seamlessly upgrade to a larger plan without downtime or penalty fees.

Northern Lights use High Efficiency (HE) Quad Core CPUs to deliver high performance while conserving energy.

Use redundancy to protect valuable data.

Which means, making backups of valuable data. The best practice is to download and store an archived copy of your website on your own home computer. Failing that, having a backup server with a mirror of your site is also a good measure. If your data is very precious, you might want to do both.

Remember that the “public_html” directory is PUBLIC!

Even if you don’t explicitly link to a file from any point in your website, everything within the public_html site directory can be downloaded, indexed, or crawled.

You can prevent a search engine from indexing a file or directory by commands in a robots.txt file, and can set “DENY” rules in the .htaccess file for various conditions, but the only way to guarantee that a file or directory will not be viewable by the public under any circumstance is to not put it in the publicly accessible directory in the first place.

Use strong passwords.

We can’t repeat this enough, it seems. A strong password has at least one each of an upper-case letter (A-Z), lower case letter (a-z), and numerical digit (1-9), and is at least eight characters long.

Using any dictionary word, proper name, or all-digit passwords such as your date of birth is a very bad idea. There are password-cracking programs out there that can use brute-force to guess a weak password in a matter of minutes.
