When selecting your website provider you should be taking an in-depth look at a third party's Disaster Recovery and Business Continuity plan!

A big part of doing your duediligence, should be taking an in-depth look at a third party's Disaster Recovery and Business Continuity plan. You should be asking when was the last time it was tested? What were the results? Can you get a copy? At OMNICOMMANDER.com we take this very seriously.

Since our headquarters are located in beautiful Miramar Beach, on the Gulf Coast of Florida, we actually get to test out our plan a few times a year. Any named storms that decide to roll through town allow us to go right into our business continuity plan. It's one of the reasons we chose our second fully staffed location to be in Nashville (different grid, climate, live music, hot fried chicken, etc...)

The servers that run our over 400 websites are located throughout America in the Northeast, Central (ahem, Texas) and the Pacific Northwest. We have a 4th location in Europe just in case. In the event that any of these were to become unavailable, our websites would still be up and available.

For several of our CreditUnions that were affected by these recent storms we were the only form of communication, because many of the branches were down too. Hundreds of banners, pop-ups, social media posts and email communications kept those members informed as to what was going on.
