Hosting companies should not claim to be HIPAA compliant on behalf of their customers. We do not and cannot control what data you collect from site visitors and users; nor can we control what you do with that data. That being said, we can help you through this process. We work with many medical providers with whom we have helped work through this process while still utilizing the efficiencies of collecting this data through their websites. We can engage in development services to help you build HIPAA compliant web forms and portals. Let’s connect to learn more!

Many website owners prefer to stay hands-off and leave the edits and updates to the pros. Providing ongoing website edits and updates is lot of what we do here at Valice each and every day for our members. Membership plans are leveled by the frequency of your service needs.

To run your website over HTTPS, a valid SSL certificate is required. Valice provides a free Let’s Encrypt SSL certificate to all hosting plans. This is configurable in your control panel. The Let’s Encrypt SSL certificate will auto renew each quarter as long as all the domains and domain aliases secured on the certificate are pointing to your Valice plan’s IP address.

If your website is currently running over HTTP, you may need to update all of your site pages to reference HTTPS instead of HTTP. Valice has developed its own scripts for this process. Reach out if you need help updating your website to run over HTTPS. Read our documentation for configuring your SSL certificate and configuring your website to redirect from HTTP to HTTPS.

If you detect that your website has been compromised, we recommend that you immediately password protect it to prevent it from infecting visitors with spyware or malware. If we detect a compromise during a regular Valice security scan, we will take this action on your behalf and contact you so that we can work to restore a backup from prior to the intrusion and remediate the vulnerability.

While we are WordPress enthusiasts, Valice also recognizes that our expertise and skills need to support a wider range of code languages and systems. As a hosting provider, we are charged with familiarizing ourselves with a wide variety of both open source and proprietary platforms. 

In our development services, our platform recommendation is primarily based on the immediate and future functionality needs of the website. Content management platforms each have built-in strengths suited for different applications. Valice is familiar with a majority of reputable systems.

Valice owns, operates and maintains all of the physical equipment that powers our hosting environment. We are colocated in a state-of-the-art datacenter in Boise, Idaho. Your site is hosted on a redundant, virtualized infrastructure and backed-up to an offsite cloud environment for disaster recovery purposes.

You sure can and if needed, we’ll be there every step of the way. Our white glove migrations and onboarding include code and security reviews to ensure that you’re starting fresh with Valice even if it’s an older site. White glove migrations are free for members or start at $150 for non-members.

Vailce takes nightly backups of the entire hosting environment for disaster recovery purposes. You can (and should) take snapshot backups before you do major updates on your website.

We retain 365 days of website backups for every hosted website. Should you need us to restore your website from one of our backups, we can assist with that. If you’re restoring a backup from the last 14 days, that service is free to all customers. Members have an extended 365-day restore period.

Valice maintains our PCI compliance but can not guarantee PCI compliance for your business and the website you may host at Valice because this is your responsibility. That being said, we can definitely help you and your website get there! We can provide you with this service as part of a Pro or VIP membership ongoing; or engage in a one-time service to assist you with your PCI compliance questionnaires and audits as required by your merchant services provider.
