Dear Colophon Web Hosting Customer,

In recent weeks you may have hear about a large web hosting outage on the East Coast of the United States caused by a malicious DDoS attack. While this event did not affect our servers, it is a reminder of the constant threat from hackers and other bad actors on the Internet.

Security is a primary part of your hosting service, but just one of the many features included in our managed hosting service.

This is a quick note to remind our customers that Colophon is actively managing your hosting service to keep it running smoothly, quickly and securely. This includes:

1. Ultra-fast, low tenant servers.
2. Daily Backups
3. Active management of the platform. Installing software updates to server software, CMS software and plugins.
4. Security suite including Web Application Firewall (WAF), with malware mitigation: This monitors and thwarts ongoing threats.
5. Malware remediation service. If a site becomes infected, we clean in and fix it as part of the service.
6. Uptime monitors. Colophon is alerted to any service disruption. Techs get to work to immediately to resolve problems.
