Law firm website hosting that’s secure, fast, and worry-free

Website hosting is something that law firms too often ignore—going with the cheapest option. However, cut-rate web hosts can leave with you with a brutally slow website that’s vulnerable to hackers. Now that Google and the other search engine algorithms are prioritizing user experience and website loading speeds—and data breaches are on the rise— you need a better option.

LaFleur’s website hosting services offer multilayered security and increase your website’s speed by 50 to 200%.

Why does law firm website hosting matter?

A web hosting service stores your website on its servers, making it accessible on the internet. Once you place your files, documents, and databases on a server and link it to a URL or domain name (like www.lafleur.marketing), the public can start visiting the site and learning about your law firm.

However, a web hosting service is more than a launching pad into the World Wide Web. Your website’s design and content are critical to its success, but hosting is a too-often neglected factor that affects your site’s security and user experience.

First, the quality of your web hosting service’s servers matters. If your law firm’s website shares a single, outdated, poorly optimized server stack with countless other websites, its page load speeds could become excruciatingly slow. If it takes longer than a blink of an eye (or so) to load your content, it’s not good enough.

Second, low-cost web hosting companies often prioritize market share and profitability over security. They might not implement cybersecurity best practices, monitoring systems, or backup protocols that offer multiple layers of protection and peace of mind. However, if your site is hacked or goes offline, you could lose millions in cases.

Consider these facts:

  • 29% of all law firms experienced a data breach in 2020.
  • There are an estimated 4,000 ransomware attacks every day.
  • Every second of page delay decreases consumer satisfaction by 16% and pageviews by 11%.
  • Google includes site speed in its Core Web Vitals, which assess your user experience and can affect your SEO performance.

A hacked website doesn’t evoke confidence—and neither does one that loads like it’s on a dial-up connection. If you choose the wrong hosting service, it will impact how search engines and your potential clients perceive your firm’s brand.

However, web hosting services should do a lot more than store your data. They also should do their best to keep it secure and streamlined.

LaFleur’s approach to hosting exceeds expectations

Our clients’ websites are hosted on a leading-edge server system that goes far beyond the standard protocols you’ll see on other services. We’re proud to offer banking industry-level security systems and best-in-class server stacks that are significantly faster than the industry average.

That’s because our websites reside in an innovative managed hosting environment on the Google Cloud. All our clients’ sites are placed within isolated LXC software containers that are 100% private. We do not offer a shared hosting option, because it can lead to security challenges and page speed slowdowns.
