Some server operators find themselves battling with a high CPU load on their systems, which inevitably slows down website responses. The main cause of high CPU loads is often due to search engine crawlers and “bad bots”, which are essentially crawlers similar to search engines but do not serve any purpose for you. What bad bots do with the crawled data remains a mystery. Hackers also scan websites to identify the software being used to operate them. They do this to exploit any security vulnerabilities found in the software. In some cases, these scans may even attempt to access passwords…

NGINX vs Apache – which server is superior? That’s not an easy question to answer. These are two of the world’s top open-source internet services and handle over 50% of global web traffic.

The pressure to update applications due to ever-faster successive updates tempts many a user to become careless and quickly click on an “Update” button. Often this works well, but sometimes unfortunately not. One wrong click – and the website is down or e-mails are lost forever. Therefore it is advisable to always have an up-to-date backup. But who thinks about regular backups? Fortunately, Plesk makes it easy, because every Plesk comes with a built-in backup manager that allows you to create backups manually or automatically on a daily, weekly, monthly and annual basis. Once set up, for example, weekly full…

Many times we were asked to implement support for centralized database (DB) and file storage. Which is understandable because these two features open up many convenient hosting-building scenarios that were previously unavailable or could be created only at your own risk. And also because the fewer single points of failure (SPOF) you have, the more resistant you are to faulting the solution. However, since the release of Plesk Obsidian 18.0.49, using centralized DB (as Beta) and Network File System (NFS) has become possible. Let’s find out what you can do with each of these features. Please note if you are interested…

Website or server monitoring is important to keep you as their owner informed when something goes wrong. For example, your online shop stops working. In most cases, it takes several hours before the site owners realize something’s wrong. Online shops can lose many orders in the meantime and SEO ranking can suffer, too. You have two options when it comes to monitoring your website: local monitoring (on the same server as your website), or external monitoring. Local monitoring is usually included in the price of web hosting, while external monitoring comes with additional costs. But when there are issues not…

Earlier this year, you might have heard that a German court ruled that embedding Google Fonts on your website without the user’s consent could be against the law. This is because the user’s IP is passed directly to Google when the file is downloaded. The European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation, also known as GDPR, classifies user IPs as personally identifiable information (PII). So the website operator must obtain the user’s explicit consent. But don’t worry, there are solutions how to handle this issue: Embed the fonts locally Use another source without IP tracking For the first solution, there are…
