Avoid Website and Server Failures

A website is like any “machine.” Its server must be attended to regularly to ensure it’s in good “running order.” If you’re not maintaining the server’s health and performance, you could set the stage for disaster.

Websites have many facets to their operation, including modules, services, and components. If you’re not actively managing these facets and keeping the server platform up to date, you are putting your website and server at significant risk for failure.

When was the last time you reviewed your server log files? How many warnings are on the verge of becoming a catastrophe because you haven’t had the time to keep on top of what’s going on with your server?

Proactive monitoring of server log files is necessary to identify risks for potential failure points. The only way to prevent server failure is to watch for warnings and to make adjustments as placed.  

Is your system overloaded? Have you considered clustering your database or load-balancing your web server?  

Sometimes it takes excellent reorganization of data and infrastructure to improve your website’s operational efficiency. Other times, it takes simple server and application tuning on an ongoing basis to keep your website functioning the way it’s supposed to.

Are you managing your Operating System? Does your server have the latest patches and updates to keep your website running at its peak performance?   

It doesn’t matter if your website and databases are running on a Unix or Windows platform; if you’re not maintaining the server’s health and keeping up to date with the latest security patches, you could set the stage for disaster.
