Cybershore

Cybershore has hosted and built websites for businesses on the Connecticut Shoreline since 1996. Based in Guilford, the firm keeps its customer base local and deliberately small, and tech support is handled by people rather than an automated phone system.

What Cybershore offers

• Web hosting — servers in a Tier 1 data centre with managed cooling and backup generators; site backups are taken every six hours and kept on a rolling seven-day cycle.
• Website design — custom sites, with a portfolio of past work on show.
• WordPress sites — clean layouts that work on both desktop computers and phones.
• Email hosting — business mailboxes with spam and virus filtering.
• E-commerce — setting up and optimising sites that sell online.
• Search engine optimisation — improving how sites rank on Google, Bing and other engines.
