Dropmysite is able to back up websites built on most platforms, including WordPress, Magento, Joomla, TYPO3, Drupal, and MODX, and all files are encrypted with AES 256-bit encryption. The service is currently being used in more than 100 countries, with this number expected to increase as Dropsuite taps into Crazy Domains’ SME customer base.
Gavin Gibson, COO of Crazy Domains, likened Dropmysite to an insurance policy. “If anything goes wrong, you’re covered.
said Gibson.
Ridley Ruth, chief operations officer of Dropsuite, says the partnership with Crazy Domains will focus on the lucrative EMEA market (Europe, Middle East and Asia-Pacific), where cloud services for SMBs is experiencing rapid growth, similar to the rapid adoption rates happening in the United States.
A website can get hacked, infected by a virus, or critical files can be deleted by mistake resulted in a website’s data being corrupted or the site rendered useless. In fact, most website owners don’t always know that their sites have been compromised until it’s too late.
says Ruth.
