On October 27th, a new version of Google Chrome will be released that will prominently label any site without an SSL Certificate as “non-secure” in the browser bar.

Your website will be affected by this change if it is not loaded over https://, contains input fields, asks for passwords or any other sensitive data, or is visited in incognito mode.

It's now more important than ever to show both Google and your website visitors that your website can be trusted, an SSL Certificate is the only way to do that - You know, that nice shiny padlock.

With Cloudworx Hosting your website is automatically provided with a FREE SSL Certificate as standard and during September, our Cloudworx Hosted customers were issued their free SSL Certificates and have all been switched over to using https://

... Ask your current provider "Can they do this?"

Whether you are just starting out, looking for a better value host or your current webhost does not provide SSL for free, get in touch and find out more.

  • Best of both worlds: Leverage a hybrid cloud architecture that gives you the control and speed of on-premises backup combined with the convenience and added redundancy of a cloud-based approach.
  • Back up a number of devices at almost any level: Back up everything, including workstations, servers, and even virtual machines and servers. Additionally, backups can be set for anything from individual files to applications all the way to full systems.
  • Fast backup: Take advantage of our True Delta technology, which backs up changes rather than full files. This helps to reduce the time it takes to run the backup process, allowing you to back up more frequently.
  • Fast recovery: Get rapid recovery after a disaster using our hybrid cloud architecture that restores from either cloud-based or local copies—whichever is faster.
  • Bare metal recovery: Restore to a bare metal state using nothing more than a bootable USB drive or CD-ROM.
  • Automatic updates: Remote Monitoring & Management can automatically update a standby virtual server after the completion of each live server backup.
  • Minimum resource usage: All backups and restores are lightweight, keeping resource drain to a minimum.
  • Bandwidth throttling: Restrict upload and download bandwidth during a user-defined backup window.
  • Standby image backup: Automatically create a local .VHD/X file of your backup selections during each scheduled backup.
  • Virtual machine support: Back up your virtual environments with host-level VMware® and Hyper-V® backups. You can restore to an existing or alternate virtual environment.

  • Private keys: Data can be accessed only by someone holding a private key.
  • Secure data centers: Store your data in one of our global data centers, each of which are SSAE-compliant or ISO-certified.
  • Data archiving: Choose how long you want to retain backup copies, allowing you to keep specific datasets and backups indefinitely. 
  • Block-level changes: True Delta works at the block level, allowing it to transmit changes rather than the full file. 
  • Compatible across platforms: True Delta processes block-level changes for large files, Hyper-V, Microsoft Exchange, SQL Server, and much more. 
  • Better resource usage: By tracking only changes rather than full files, backups become so quick that they no longer have to be scheduled during off-hours. 
  • More frequent backups: With shorter backup windows, you’re able to back up data more frequently, helping ensure that your backups are current.
  • Enhanced backup performance: The Backup Accelerator in Online Backup decreases the backup time for large files when compared to regular file-level backups of the same data.
  • Large file support: By default, Online Backup keeps track of what has changed in selected files that are 5 GB or larger. This makes the backup of changes to databases in SQL Server, Exchange, and SharePoint, as well as changes to Outlook PST files, Outlook OST Files, and Hyper-V virtual machines as fast as traditional backups of changes to smaller files.
  • Full support for Windows: Backup Accelerator is supported on Windows 7 and higher on client machines and Windows Server 2008 R2 and higher on servers.
