Reactive Host is monitoring closely the vulnerabilities affecting Intel, AMD and ARM processors that were made public on January 3, 2018.

Our System Administrators and Security teams are working to ensure our hosting environment is fully protected.  This past weeked we have updated our server software.

Be certain that our customers’ security is our top priority.

We will try our best to minimize any potential impact on hosting services.

Reactive Host works with Reactive Designs to provide all the website hosting servers to clients in Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan and to clients in Britsh Columbia, Alberta, Yukon, Manitoba, Quebec and Prince Edward Island.  Reactive Host has dedicated Canadian web servers which are tuned to support the WordPress and Joomla content management systems.  

Reactive Host has an offsite backup server which is synced with the web server.  Why do we use a backup server?  This server is responsible for backing up and restoring files, folders, emails, and databases to prevent data loss in the event of a major server failure, user error, disaster or accident.  We can restore a single file or an entire account.  Accidentally delete an important file - we can restore it for you.  We have just increased our backup server hard drive space by 500 Gig. 

Does your Business or Non-Profit organization have a Disaster Recovery Plan?  If you don't, you should.  What happens if your business experiences a disaster, such as a fire.  If you lose everything at your business what will you do?  Contact Jeff Boulton to discuss online offsite backup services and a Disaster Recovery Plan.  Reactive Online Backups which is part of Reactive Designs can partner with your business to provide you a disaster recovery plan to protect your data.  

We backup laptops, workstations, Windows Computers, Apple Computers, POS systems, Drop Box, Google Drive, and in-house servers.  The important work and files for your business are stored in a secure environment - client data, financial data, business information and personal information such as photos.  This data is encrypted, transferred encrypted and stored encrypted  - very secure!

At Reactive Host in Moose Jaw, SK - we can secure your website with it’s own dedicated IP address along with an SSL Certificate.

A Dedicated Hosting IP gives your hosting account and website a unique IP address, one that's not shared by any other accounts on the same server. So if you need direct access to your site, even when your DNS records are being propagated, or are planning to add an SSL Certificate, a Dedicated Hosting IP may be for you.

In a few years, EVERY website will be secured through SSL and that’s a very good thing. Consider moving to HTTPS very soon!  Contact us today to discuss your hosting needs.

Here are 4 quick compelling reasons to move your website to HTTPS:

1. SECURITY — SSL protects your website's data and visitors. It encrypts data transferred over the web, like form submissions and credit card transactions.
2. SEO — Google says it’s past time to move your sites over to HTTPS. They are now giving an SEO ranking boost to secure sites. Simply put, you’ll rank better in SEO.
3. ECOMMERCE —If you’re taking any payments on your website, SSL is non-negotiable. SSL is an absolute must for ecommerce and membership websites.
4. AFFORDABILITY — In the past, SSL certificates could get expensive, but the rapidly transforming web landscape has made switching to SSL practical and affordable.

Reactive Host will be updating it's servers this weekend to PHP 7!!

PHP7 significantly reduces memory consumption and improves performance dramatically.  PHP 7 is the fastest PHP version yet. We are expecting that the Open Source CMS (Joomla and WordPress) Reactive Designs uses will run 50% faster or more.
