Operations begin after launch — and they decide whether a website stays available, fast and secure. This category covers choosing hosting and server locations, encryption and certificates, backups and restores, updates to the system and its extensions, protection against attacks and spam, and monitoring that reports incidents before customers call. We explain which maintenance tasks arise at which intervals, how to document responsibilities and access credentials cleanly and what to do during an incident. The goal is operations you can plan for — instead of a website whose condition only becomes visible during an outage. We also explain which documents belong to clean operations: credential management, an overview of contracts and an emergency procedure.
