English Joomla is in itself a secure system to build your website with. However, this does not mean that a Joomla website automatically remains secure. One of the most important conditions for keeping your website really secure is that all software is always kept up-to-date. This applies both to Joomla itself and to all the extensions you use. Outdated software can contain vulnerabilities that cybercriminals can exploit to attack your website. By updating regularly, you significantly reduce this risk and ensure that your website remains optimally protected.
Keep Joomla safe and up-to-date
However, I understand that, as an entrepreneur, you do not have the time (or inclination) to check every few days whether new versions of Joomla or your extensions have been released. Fortunately, this is not necessary with my maintenance contract. For a fixed monthly fee, I make sure your website remains secure and up-to-date. I continuously check for updates and install them as soon as they become available. This way, you don't have to worry about the technical side of your website and you can focus entirely on your own work.
Indeed, not every cybercriminal is interested in your website or your users' data. Criminals 'in real life' are not always interested in houses with expensive contents either. They sometimes choose empty properties to build an XTC lab or cannabis plantation.
A poorly maintained website is similar to a vacant property and can be used to send spam or phishing emails undetected or to spread viruses. In many cases, the consequences are only visible when this is discovered by Google and your visitors see a notification that your website is a danger. But by then it's too late....
So beware: every web space can be of interest to cyber criminals
That's no problem at all. Even if your website was not created by me, I can offer you maintenance.
A new Joomla release comes out every few weeks. These releases contain new features and fixed bugs (bug fixes) as well as security improvements. The same applies to the extensions installed on the website. So keeping your website up-to-date is of the utmost importance.
Even when you don't notice it, a hacker may be active on your website. In this case, your website is not a target per se, but a means for visitors to download something to infect their computer or to retrieve credit-card information, for example.
Your website is monitored 24 hours a day for noticeable file changes. These changes are noticed my monitoring system. When a file is modified, this is often the work of a hacker and I can take immediate action.
Of course, I can never 100% guarantee that nothing can go wrong with your website. (After all, nobody can) Due to various circumstances, you may need a backup. The best backup extension is Akeeba Backup PRO. With it, you can easily make a copy of your website and database.
But what happens if your website gets hacked, you might not be able to access your backups anymore. Therefore, it is recommended to store the backups externally. To be on the safe side, I store all backups in my Cloud storage. The frequency of backups depends on the activity on your website. In consultation, I automatically run the backups daily, weekly or monthly. I regularly check the backups for errors, because nothing is more annoying than an incomplete backup at the moment you need it. I make sure there are enough backups, so we always have a "clean" backup available.
What my customers say
I worked with Jeroen for several years on various websites. Gradually the division developed that I took care of design, structure and content and that Jeroen realized and maintained the website technically. In doing so, he has consistently shown himself to be an extremely service-oriented, reliable and high-quality partner/supplier. Jeroen is very friendly and pleasant to work with.
