Indian BigRock Adds CodeGuard to Online Backup Websites

BigRock announced CodeGuard, an addition to its hosting and backup solutions for websites.

CodeGuard is an online backup service with a interface that ensures backup in minutes whilst continuously monitoring any changes made to the website and thus prevents websites from being compromised.

CodeGuard monitors, alerts and notifies the website owner about the changes required or made. Moreover, customers are alerted and notified by email when these changes do occur. This feature helps customers pre-empt a potentially disastrous situation for their website

“BigRock has always ensured that businesses that enter the online space are fully equipped with a host of high quality web-focused products. We do this through offering a complete suite of products needed to establish a strong online presence. Research has found that one in a thousand websites face problems due to loss of data. In fact, recent times have shown that multi-million dollar companies have lost data due to reasons including a change in FTP credentials, unsolicited power outages, or simply mere human error. Owing to this, we decided to introduce CodeGuard to our suite of services. This backup service makes sure that all data is backed up on a regular basis and users are alerted anytime an unauthorized change occurs on the site. Not only does this prevent a website from being compromised, but the user also has the option of using the ‘point in time return’, where they can restore their site to a previously backed up version. All the data that a user backups is stored on the cloud, ensuring that data can be retrieved from any device, and is never lost.” said Shashank Mehrotra, business head, BigRock.

CodeGuard uses secure connections like SFTP/SSH/SSL wherever possible and the annual vulnerability testing is carried out by an independent agency, for more accurate results. The backups of website data are stored on Amazon Web Services Simple Storage System (S3). S3 boasts durability levels of 99% which are achieved by distributing storage of data across multiple locations and facilities. To date, there has not been any data breach, or a successful hack upon CodeGuard.

Pricing for the CodeGuard packages starts from Rs. 39 per month.
