Linux Security and E-Commerce
Penguin Web Hosting exceeds most other linux hosting companies due to our high security standards. E-commerce clients make up a large portion of our clientele, and because of this fact, top-notch security is essential. We have programs installed to protect our Linux servers such as proprietary monitoring as well as intrusion detection and prevention technology. Monitoring our systems serves to cut system downtime and increase response times. Also, state of the art intrusion detection and prevention serves to seek out and halt any unauthorized or suspicious actions.
The United States Navy, as a security measure, uses this same feature for their servers. As well as protecting our clients at the server level, we assist our clients in securing their site at the user level. We offer tutorials on how to keep your website secure, scan your website for common coding errors, and how to monitor your files with AIDE (the Advanced Intrusion Detection Environment). Coding errors can cause problems during data transmission. Eradicating these coding errors gives you the ability to transfer data from one destination to another in one piece. AIDE checks the integrity of files stored in a database that the system administrator creates out of files that are to remain static over time such as key system binaries and header files.
The fact that we are a dedicated Linux Hosting provider clearly indicates how serious we are about our security standards at Penguin Web Hosting. Research has shown that Linux sees a modest amount of viruses when compared with other servers such as Windows. We are dedicated to delivering our e-commerce clients the most secure web hosting experience available.
