What To Look For In A HIPAA Web Hosting Service Provider?
Health Insurance Portability and Accountability act or HIPAA plays an important role in protecting and preserving the rights for health plans of the beneficiaries and in order for the medical practitioners, health care providers and billing companies to comply to the security standards, they ensure that their computing platforms, billing systems and applications are updated and protected. Also, HIPAA web hosting service providers provides a great help in the medical industry to comply with HIPAA through a reliable compliant system.
HIPAA web hosting providers allows the health care providers to ensure a reliable and high quality system. Also, opting for HIPAA web hosting will aid inexperienced or newly established health care companies to set up and manage their systems. With the standard requirements for the HIPAA compliance, the health care providers are more eager to hire HIPAA web hosting companies with expertise, advanced technology and optimum services to ensure that they will be able to fully protect every patient's health information and avoid any HIPAA violation and since keeping a system with all the personal information of your patients are confidential and critical, you will need a hosting company. So, here are the factors you can consider in hiring a HIPAA web hosting service provider.
Experience. The more experienced a hosting company is, the more you are sure that they will be able to determine and implement appropriate security and that they have a full understanding about regulatory compliance.
HIPAA Audit. It is quite important for you to verify if your hosting provider is really an HIPAA compliant by determining whether they are 100% compliant across the 136 audited components and 54 HIPAA citations. If you provide yourself with a solid web hosting provider, protecting your patient's welfare will be successful.
Business Associate Agreement. BAA is important in determining how the data is being handled when the service is already terminated. It is necessary for you to look for a hosting provider that has a high level of understanding about the BAA requirements including the previous year's Omnibus Rule.
Confidentiality and integrity of PHI. A reputable hosting provider is able to explain the standard IT services for HIPAA that includes the separate database, web servers, private firewall, data encryption and any other physical or technical safeguards. Their security rule must depend on your business size, capability, operation and complexity.
Procedures. Your hosting provider must provide you written procedures and policies with specific security and privacy rules as required by the HIPAA regulations.
Employee training. You have to look for hosting companies with employees who are well-trained with regards to logical security, physical security, security policies, data protection, password use, reporting and risk response and others to ensure that you can prevent any HIPAA violation. With Ultra Web Hosting, we help secure these environments and are the only employees with physical access to the servers.

Powerful Servers
Ultra's rack servers have Xeon processors, up to 64GBs of RAM, dual redundant power feeds and disk arrays while sitting on a laser fast backbone powered by Cisco Networks. Unlike most hosting providers, Ultra's servers are all in-house and agents are stationed on site at the datacenter.

Ultra was the first to build out our servers specifically for large terabyte arrays and large websites. When we say unlimited space, we mean it, the limiting factor is processor and memory usage.

Before I was with Ultra Web Hosting, my website and mySQL load times were horrible. Users complained of 30+ seconds of loading. After my move, my website loads up after 2 – 3 seconds, and all my users are happy. Customer service is also top notch, and I can’t beat the price. I highly recommend having your web site here.
I contacted Ultra Web Hosting for customer service issues and my representative, David, went above and beyond to fix the issues I was having!
I am a Ultra Webhosting customer since many years now. Luckily you don't need customer support very often, but if you do have a problem the support you get is great. It took just 28 minutes from the moment I got the mail with the support ticket number till the mail explaining me everything was working again!
