» Backup Solution for Webmasters - SiteVault Affiliate Program
The Matter of Fact
Small development companies all over the world develop a special relationship with their clients. The clients expect them to not only design or develop their site, but to maintain it, even if this is not based on any agreenment of any kind.
Many times, customers forget or ignore to pay their hosting fees, modify what they shouldn't, give access to untrained people that delete files or a simple server crash happens. In this situation the client will expect the web developers to restore the site quickly and in it's latest state, which is not always possible due to changes happened while the site was online.
The Very Simple Solution
SiteVault will backup both the files and the SQL data at the same time and will restore them quickly and completely (file atributes included) to the live server.
The sites need to be setup in the application once and let run on one of the company's computers.
All you need to do is discuss this with the client, covince him of the utility of this process and charge a monthly fee. We're not saying you should do this for the fee (although your persuasion skills can make the difference), but for your peace of mind, for the fast action time it provides and the fact that you can simply not go through the hassle of reassembling a website.
Affiliate Program Opportunity
Additionally, you can convince your clients to use SiteVault, for the reasons stated above. As an affiliate you will be able to win aas much as 75% of the final sum.
Considerations
A backup application is only good if you use it before the disaster happen. Even if you maintain small sites that don't change that often, the peace of mind a good backup application ensures is worth it. Knowing that no matter what happens you can intervene quickly and efectively should mean very much for you, as it does for me.
