In today’s day and age, the security of your school’s website is more critical. Protecting sensitive data, ensuring uninterrupted uptime, and maintaining a positive online presence are crucial for every school. That’s why we strongly recommend that we manage your domain and place it behind Cloudflare for additional protection.

We already have vast amounts of security and protection in place but this addition is one you should take up. This option has the additional bonus of being completely FREE to our customers.

Why Domain Management by Realsmart is Key

When Realsmart manages your school’s domain, it streamlines the process of implementing essential security measures. This centralized control allows for quick and efficient configuration, ensuring that your website benefits from the latest security protocols. It eliminates the complexities often associated with multiple parties managing different aspects of your online presence.

The Power of Cloudflare Protection

Cloudflare is a leading web performance and security company that offers a suite of services to protect and accelerate websites. By placing your school’s domain behind Cloudflare, you gain access to a robust layer of defense against a wide array of online threats.

Key Benefits of Cloudflare for Your School Website:

  • DDoS Protection: Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks can overwhelm your website with traffic, making it inaccessible to students, parents, and staff. Cloudflare’s advanced DDoS mitigation capabilities automatically detect and deflect these attacks, ensuring your website remains online and functional.
  • Web Application Firewall (WAF): The WAF protects your website from common web vulnerabilities and attacks, such as SQL injection and cross-site scripting (XSS), which can be exploited to gain unauthorized access or compromise data.
  • Improved Performance: Cloudflare’s global content delivery network (CDN) caches your website’s content in data centers worldwide. This means that when a user accesses your site, the content is delivered from the closest server, resulting in faster loading times and a smoother user experience.
  • SSL/TLS Encryption: Cloudflare provides free SSL/TLS encryption, ensuring that all data transmitted between your website and its visitors is encrypted. This protects sensitive information and builds trust with your online community.
  • Bot Management: Malicious bots can scrape content, launch attacks, or consume valuable server resources. Cloudflare’s bot management features identify and mitigate these threats, allowing legitimate users to access your site without interference.

By entrusting Realsmart with the management of your school website’s domain, and leveraging the power of Cloudflare, you’re investing in an additional layer of security and more peace of mind.
