Creating a website for your business is one of the best investments you will ever choose to make. A website will bring in more traffic to the business, it can generate more interest amongst your target market and ultimately generating more sales for you. While it is worthwhile having a business site, you also need to consider its backup and security.
You need to ensure you have a complete backup of your files and any linked databases. Usually these are stored locally on the developer’s machines or a web server. People tend to neglect the need of backing up websites, but essentially everything is stored on a computer and this computer can fail at any time.
Your server stores all the pages, images, and content that you have uploaded on your website. This is handy in regards to backups – because even if your computer was to crash, you still have all the important data on your hosting server… but imagine if your web server was to fail or catch a virus.
