Top 4 reasons why monitoring your servers is important

In today’s competitive market, it is imperative that an entrepreneur must have a grasp of every aspect of her business. Since digital presence is a must these days, entrepreneurs must also be aware at all times if their company’s website is running or not. Even a few seconds of website-crash can cause a loss thousands of dollars in sales and reputations. Thanks to technology, one need not be a software engineer to monitor one’s website’s IT infrastructure.

Unexpected traffic

What if someday your marketing efforts actually reap off results? 😃 What if all your landing pages get flooded on the same day? This might sound very pleasant to some naïve entrepreneurs but the experienced ones know that such unexpected traffic can sometimes crash the entire website. This, if not handled properly, can result in lost sales and reputation.

Keeping a check on your software vendor

Although it is very apparent even to the non-tech-savvy entrepreneur if the website is down but it is very difficult for her to know if that problem occurs frequently. Getting real-time notifications for every time the site is down will give you an entrepreneur a fair idea of how efficient her software vendor is.

Managing multiple websites

If you are the CEO of a web development firm then it is important for you to know if all your clients’ websites are online, because when something goes wrong your client’s are going to call you and not your employees who developed the website. Therefore, to avoid those embarrassing phone calls from your clients, you must be able to know it before it happens.

Keep a check on your bill

If you are buying a server online than you’d be paying a monthly bill on it. Depending upon the number of activities on your server, your bill amount will fluctuate. To make sure that your bill doesn’t go beyond a certain level, it is important that you monitor your server and the monthly bill as well.
