Small businesses need website monitoring | | 2008/09/02 | | News blog website E-consultancy.com has highlighted some textbook problems and suggested easy solutions to combat website downtime.
For small businesses it is easy to let your e-guard down when the padlock is secured to the company gate at 17:30.
But the ramifications of any compromise to a company website are more far-reaching than many people think.
A significant amount of business due to a website outage often disappears permanently even over the shortest periods and this is seen as one of the most damaging aspects that occur when communications are severed.
Bosses should know at all times how their websites are behaving to prevent loss of custom, loyalty and, of course, cash.
While this isn't always practical, there are services which can enable firms to monitor their own sites or even do it for you with round the clock surveillance and automated notification should anything be amiss.
Such services can even allow for the monitoring of specific aspects of web traffic and content, and are known to be an effective first line of defence against the inconveniences of internet downtime. |
