Are you considering taking payments online? Business is booming. E-commerce now accounts for $870 billion annually in the US alone, a 50.5% increase since 2019. But with more money comes more problems. In 2022, the Federal Trade Commission announced that 8.8 billion dollars were lost to fraud, with identity theft as the number one cause. Clearly, it has never been more lucrative - and more dangerous - to be in business online.

If you operate any website, there is nothing more frustrating - and annoying - than getting a message that your website is down. There can be many reasons why you are experiencing downtime, but the results are usually the same; lost revenue, customers going to competitors, and either IT staff running about or angry calls to your host or ISP. Every organization wants to avoid downtime when it comes to their website.
