Dedicated Web Server Management

As stanch advocates for site uptime we start with the a network we deem the most reliable and pick from the best hardware to accommodate the customers we serve, but that gets you nowhere if no one is monitoring and managing that server against potential threats.

So there is no fear mongering lets make these threats tangible. Far the easiest threat is another customers website running on the same shared server as you. So our management starts there with monitoring logs regularly to notice any errant activity and work with the secure the issue for the benefit of all. Often this is the sole reason why companies decide, or we insist a dedicated server if the sites demand necessitates room for growth. Of course we responded to site issues that cost customers immediately.

The next proactive measure in insuring uptime is Linux. Unlike Windows servers Linux doesn't not need to reboot every week, month to apply security updates. Hardened security updates for Linux come out after intense testing in the open source community. We love Linux. We're not just biased , one of our developers was the system administrator of some very serious Windows networks for over 10 years and has never looked back as a developer and someone who has lived through 4 am wake ups to install updates and reboot in order to disrupt the fewest people.

On top of that active attackers IP address and geographical locations are mapped and block when up to no good. So with all of this you can be glad there are geeks here who loves their servers and work very hard to make sure no harm comes to them.
