Tech Tip: Using SNI to allow multiple SSL domains on a single IP

Lewis — Sat, 08 Jun 2013 01:23:25 +0000

I recently started really thinking about the dwindling number of available IPv4 addresses and what we can do to use them more efficiently.

Backups... While Cloud technology does provide redundancy, having a peace of mind that your data is safe is never a bad thing.

Our R1Soft backups do just that. They are an excellent way of providing you with a 3rd set of data stored on a server other than the one where your current information is located. In the event of a server failure, you will be glad to know that there is a copy of all your important files made with our R1Soft technology.

If you do not have R1Soft currently, ask us how we can set you up and make sure your data never goes away!
