The data of our clients, including information added on web forms to request services, is something we must protect as therapists. As a therapist—you may also be considering where you’re storing data. Some therapists use their websites to book their own appointments while others use it as a way to have information submitted for later. Even if you are not collecting any information directly, the site still saves IP addresses and cookies which are something to consider for security.
This is why I recommend Websavers. A completely Canadian web hosting company located in Halifax, Canada. I have used Websavers for 5 years and their service is exceptionally fast, secure, and all data is handled and located on Canadian soil. The following is from the Websavers website:
“We provide reliable hosting services. If you’re looking for high performance web hosting, we’re the real deal. If you want VPS hosting with scalable resources: we can deliver. Want business class email hosting or domain reg? We do that too.
Our team has been building websites since the early 2000s, so whether you’ve got questions about server performance, creating websites, or building with WordPress, we’ve got answers. That’s why we’re called “Websavers”
