4 Things to do to Protect your Website from Hackers and avoid Website Problems

Last Updated on Tuesday, 06 December 2011 17:54

Once your website is developed, you still have some responsibilities to ensure that your website continues to run in top condition. Like everything else, a website deteriorates if left unmaintained. Be sure you have arranged for, or have plans and procedures for all of the following:

Backup your files and databases
Do you know how to restore your files and databases when you need to restore them?
Ensure that your CMS and your plug-ins (Wordpress), modules (Drupal) and extensions (Joomla?) are up-to-date.
Check your website regularly to make sure it is still functioning as it should.

If you do not take care of these, upgrades to internet browsers, hosting servers and website design and web development standards amongst other things, can affect your website with mild symptoms including your website simply not looking right to more serious problems that leads to the website becoming inoperable and/or the website may even be hacked quite easily.

Performing these tasks are not covered in typical web design and development agreements because they are beyond the scope of designing and developing a website. This is why Oranges and Lime provides these services to all businesses and organisations. Please call us if you need help in any of these.
