What does the server look like?

The client lost conversions and loyal customers, and lost a lot more money. And we know for sure that he got a few wrinkles.


3. Back up, back up, back up
What happens if your server room burns down? Or a burst pipe causes a short circuit and you lose all your data? You need to have a backup ready . You need to back up all your data – code, content changes, and even your client or order database.

Backups should be directed to another data center . So if a cat chews through your cables or water floods your server room, you can immediately "roll over a backup" and continue with your business without losing your money.

Define the backup intensity in your contract . For example, AITOM saves changes to backups daily, we keep the backup from each day saved for 14 days in all cases (or longer, depending on the agreement with the client). Such a cash app database backup is sufficient in the vast majority of cases, backups older than six months are of no use for most projects.

4. Have technical support resolved
What happens if you want to add a new form? Or the old one breaks? Of course, you will arrange some technical support . Website building agencies will probably offer it to you automatically at a discounted rate. Consider to what extent you need professional help from coders, and to what extent you are able to cope on your own.

Pay attention to the server availability information . This will be stated in the contract, or in the binding technical specification of the web application you are ordering. It is usually stated in %. The information looks like this, for example. The downtime is calculated in hours for the entire year . If the provider does not guarantee server operation, you are usually entitled to some kind of discount, etc.

Website availability in %

No one can guarantee you 100% server availability . Even large e-shops such as Amazon only have 99.9% availability. Why? Because the server needs to be maintained , sometimes you restart it, etc. This is clearly noticeable with banks. Has your bank ever written to you that online banking will be unavailable? Probably sometime at night? It was most likely server maintenance.
