WHY DOES MY WEBSITE NEED TO BE SECURE?

Any dental website that collects personal data from patients must have secure hosting. Patient data can simply be a name, email address and phone number or a more detailed message requesting a response from a dentist. A patient may type this information into a website through an enquiry form, a call back form or through a dedicated appointment software. Almost all dental websites offer these options now.

By hosting your website on a secure server, any information entered into a form will be protected through an encrypted connection. This adds the necessary layer of security and protection to prevent information from being easily intercepted.

It would be wise to provide your patients with a confidential and professional service from the start. Give them the reassurance they need. Appearing as a compliant dental practice may be the ticket to encourage them to contact you. You can read more about secure website hosting here.

WILL MY EMAILS BE SECURE TOO?

Unfortunately emails run through a different server. The POP3 emails which are included in this hosting package are not encrypted so it is advisable to upgrade especially if you are communicating to patients with sensitive and confidential information about their medical history. We recommend using an ecrypted email platform facility such as Office 365 which can be set-up by an IT company for you. We would be more than happy to suggest companies that can help with this as they would require our assistance with domain records.

WHAT SHOULD I DO NEXT?

If you already have your website hosted but would like to upgrade to a secure, fast and reliable hosting platform, then simply contact design4dentists on 01923 609770. We will advise whether you can upgrade your current hosting package with the same provider or whether you should transfer to us.

Dentists who do not have an existing hosting package and wish to create a new dental website from scratch, we can help set up everything from the start. Acquire a domain address, branded email accounts and hosting facilities. The minimum recommended option is our Secure Hosting Package.
