Let's talk about a few of these, starting with "security".
Website Security: Passwords
To illustrate the importance of security, consider this true story...
Let me share a cautionary tale that highlights the importance of website security...A few years ago, while working on a video publishing portal similar to YouTube, we encountered an unfortunate incident. In the midst of development, I, Jason, made a critical error by leaving the administrative pages' password as "password" without changing it. Regrettably, the consequences of this oversight became evident on the day of the website's launch. Unbeknownst to my client, an individual had exploited this vulnerability and uploaded explicit content to the site.
This incident served as a powerful reminder of the essential rule we sometimes overlook: always use secure passwords. It also emphasized the constant vigilance required in an online environment where opportunistic actors are perpetually seeking ways to disrupt and compromise valuable investments. As a testament to this reality, I receive instant notifications of hacking attempts for clients who benefit from our comprehensive security plan.
Backup and Restoration Plans
While it's important to keep your website protected against hackers and the like, it's also important to have a backup recovery plan. You never know when you will encounter server crashes, or when something goes haywire with your website. A simple platform update could instantly destroy your hard work. The SiteHatchery website maintenance plan includes a daily backup of all website and database files to an off-site location. This means that your website can be recovered even if your server goes up in a ball of flames.
