Managed FTP Server for Your Small Business

Published {$created} by Viggo


Running a small business means wearing many hats. Dealing with file transfers shouldn't be one of them. Are you struggling with slow transfers, security concerns, or the constant upkeep of a self-hosted FTP server? It's time to consider a hosted FTP server for small business – and ftpGrid is here to simplify your workflow.

The Pain Points of Self-Hosted FTP

Let's be honest, setting up and maintaining an FTP server yourself isn't always easy. You’ll need to handle:

  • Security: Plain FTP is inherently insecure. Enabling FTPS or even SFTP requires careful configuration and ongoing management. Security should be paramount when dealing with business data. See ftpGrid features for information about our secure protocols.
  • Maintenance: Server updates, security patches, and troubleshooting can eat into your valuable time.
  • Bandwidth & Storage: Scaling resources as your business grows can be complex and expensive.
  • Reliability: Downtime means lost productivity and frustrated customers.

Why Choose a Hosted FTP Server?

A hosted FTP server takes all that off your plate. With ftpGrid, you get:

  • Instant Setup: Your server is ready within seconds after signup. ftpGrid free tier launch gets you started immediately!
  • Robust Security: We handle the security, supporting SFTP (highly recommended), FTPS, and other secure protocols. Our security measures are detailed on our ftpGrid features page.
