Cybershore

Serving Connecticut's shoreline communities since 1996, Cybershore is a small team based in Madison, with an office address in Guilford, CT, offering web hosting, web design, email hosting, eCommerce and SEO to local businesses. The company describes itself as a personalized alternative to larger providers, noting that it knows most of its customers by name and provides human support rather than automated systems. Its web servers host close to 1,000 local Connecticut businesses at a Tier 1 data center with managed cooling, backup generators and site backups taken every six hours. On the service side, Cybershore builds WordPress-based websites described as simple, clean and responsive across desktop and mobile devices, pointing to the shift toward mobile internet use as a reason for this focus. Its eCommerce offering includes optimization of online stores for shoppers, with a dedicated section of the site addressing this. SEO services are framed as improving a website's visibility in search engines such as Google, Bing and Yahoo, based on understanding how search engines function and identifying the search terms a business's target market uses to find it, with the stated aim of higher rankings and increased visitor numbers. Additional listed services include email hosting with spam and virus protection, local search support, and technical support for hosting, DSL, dial-up and email issues.
