Website maintenance is one of the most important things to consider for your website, if you want it to remain safe, current and secure. Why?

Website Updates

Website maintenance is so often overlooked by website owners. Designing, building and commissioning a website is an important first step to a new and exciting web presence. However, how many website owners think that once the website is published, the work is done? The work on a website is never done. A website is something which will always be in a state of evolution. Website maintenance is one of the most important things to consider for your website, if you want it to remain safe, current and secure. Why?

Website Security

Security is of paramount importance. Hackers and other malicious Internet users continuously look to breach the security of websites and steal data or change the layout of the website.

If you already have a website, does it have the generic login address and username? If yes, please call Cotswold Websites so that we can help you overcome this big vulnerability to hackers.

Security plugins can help eliminate the worst security threats, but these plugins also need regular attention to see how the website is being attacked and to place the attackers on a blacklist so they have no ability to cause further harm. You will be astounded at how often malicious attempts are made upon every website, every day. Keeping your website secure is a fundamental of good website maintenance. If you do not have the time, or inclination, to regularly review your website's security, the you should think about asking Cotswold Websites about our website maintenance packages, which suit all budgets and all needs.

Website Backups

Backups are another vital component of good website maintenance. Your web host will normally carry out regular server backups, but they will normally charge high fees to recover data from these backups.

As the competent owner of your website you should also be managing your own daily backups and keeping an offsite copy of the website and its database. Daily backups can usually be automated, but keeping an offsite backup of all the website's files and data is a time-consuming task, as it involves downloading 11,000+ files plus the database to your own computer or cloud storage. Having the support of an organisation such as Cotswold Websites means you do not have to worry about managing backups. We can take this task off your hands and manage it for you.
