Secure Enterprise Hosting From A Name You Can Trust

Imagine waking up one morning to find your email not working…

Your phone begins to ring with team members across the globe having the same issue.

Not only will emails not send/receive, archives are unavailable.

Your customer service team cannot communicate with customers.

Your order fulfillment team cannot ship products.

Communication amongst your organization has ceased.

You reach out to your provider and they don’t reply for hours only to follow-up with a vague and unhelpful response.

Your business is paralyzed; folding right in-front of your eyes.

To make matter worse, you eventually find out hackers have taken total control of your data; every email that’s ever been sent/received throughout your entire organization.

The scope of the compromise is unimaginable.

Sounds pretty scary huh?

Unfortunately this nightmare became a reality for ~30,000 customers last year using Rackspace’s hosted Exchange service.

With the rise of public clouds, the assumption that data is ‘protected’ in a ‘fail safe’ environment is filled with misunderstanding and ignorance. Customers of password giant LastPass also found this out the hard way last year.

Over the last decade, organizations have deprecated their data centers, consolidated their staff, and moved their IT department into the ‘public cloud.’ In theory this makes sense; no more physical servers to manage, no more onsite IT staff, and substantially cut costs. But this still doesn’t make a business immune to data breaches, data loss, or outages from widespread system failures.

I personally would argue that applications hosted on a public cloud (AWS, Azure, etc.) have more exposure than in individual data centers as potential entries for malicious actors are much greater.

For example, in one of the LastPass data breaches last year (they had several), admin credentials were harvested through an employee’s outdated personal Plex Media Server.

In the Rackspace incident, it was discovered the malicious actors gained access through a server that had not applied a zero-day vulnerability patch issued a month prior. Despite being on “the cloud” it only takes one out-of-date server that’s connected to introduce vulnerabilities.

Given my 20+ years working online, these are just some of the concerns I’ve had with the development and rapid growth of public clouds.

Organizations love hearing about how they can get out from under buying expensive equipment / data center deployments, but don’t fully grasp the downside and risks that can potentially arise.

Obviously companies don’t want to move backward — but what is a viable solution?

This is why we’ve launched NameHero Enterprise hosting; a cost-effective, scalable, and fully managed private cloud tailored to your business.

In one of my recent YouTube tutorials I demonstrate how our Enterprise hosting can be used to run a private email server/ workflow suite similar to Google Workspace.

You still have the advantage of not having to own equipment, hire IT staff/manage servers, but don’t have to deploy your sensitive data onto a public cloud / SaaS service where there are thousands of customers sharing the same infrastructure. Everything is solely dedicated to your organization and you can easily see / access / and download your data at any time.

In addition to our private email server/ workflow suite, we’ve helped organizations deploy other mission-critical applications such as:

• Highly available cPanel/WHM servers with file and MySQL replication
• Redundant and distributed DNS clusters
• Enterprise secured Virtual Private Networks
• E-Commerce and high traffic websites (CMS-agnostic)
• Social community servers (e.g., Mastodon, forums)
• Online collaboration & file storage suites (e.g., Nextcloud)
• Enterprise off-site cloud backups

All our packages can be tailored and developed to cater to your specific needs. We’ll handle everything, from infrastructure design to migration, as well as round-the-clock support.
