Owing to this, we decided to introduce CodeGuard to our suite of services. This backup service makes sure that all data is backed up on a regular basis and users are alerted anytime an unauthorized change occurs on the site. Not only does this prevent a website from being compromised, but the user also has the option of using the 'point in time return', where they can restore their site to a previously backed up version. All the data that a user backs up is stored on the cloud, ensuring that data can be retrieved from any device, and is never lost." said Shashank Mehrotra, Business Head at BigRock.

CodeGuard uses secure connections like SFTP/SSH/SSL wherever possible and the annual vulnerability testing is carried out by an independent agency, for more accurate results. The backups of website data are stored on Amazon Web Services Simple Storage System, also known as S3. S3 boasts durability levels of 99% which are achieved by distributing storage of data across multiple locations and facilities.

The social sharing is much easier by knowing which stories are trending on the site.

MySpace

The home page features more products with various categories, special offers and trending products. What we dislike is they have kept the product title and category fonts unchanged which are repeated in the details page too. The navigation links are not so catch too. But overall it’s a good makeover.

LinkedIn
LinkedIn has gone through the biggest profile redesigning in October by adding lots of features and visual presentation of user profiles.

But this new look will be more user friendly with easy navigation and intuitive login process. The menus and labels on the site has been revamped to feature the special offerings from the site and an ‘explore’ link is placed where users can check for newest and exciting innovations from PayPal.
