What Server Maintenance Can Cover
Backups and recovery
Confirm agreed backup coverage, retention and restore options instead of assuming a backup is usable.
Performance monitoring
Observe availability, storage, memory and load indicators available within the supported environment.
Security hardening
Review agreed access, patching, certificates and practical controls without promising absolute security.
Clear Server Support Boundaries
CK Website Design can manage agreed software, website and configuration work. Physical hardware, upstream networks, data-centre power and provider-wide incidents normally remain with the hosting company.
Our Server Support Process
1. Audit and scope
Document the server, software stack, websites, databases, DNS, backups, access and provider responsibilities.
2. Stabilise and configure
Address agreed configuration, updates, access, backup and monitoring priorities in a planned order.
3. Monitor and maintain
Complete agreed checks, updates, backup reviews and capacity observations, then report issues requiring action.
Server Maintenance FAQs
What is included in server maintenance?
The agreed scope can include operating-system and software updates, configuration reviews, monitoring, backup checks, access reviews, capacity planning and documented recommendations. Coverage depends on the server platform, hosting provider and access available.
Do you support AWS, VPS, cloud and dedicated servers?
We can assess supported AWS, VPS, cloud, dedicated and colocated environments. The exact services depend on the operating system, control panel, provider responsibilities, application stack and administrator access.
Can you guarantee that a server will never go down?
No. Maintenance can reduce avoidable risk, but no provider can guarantee uninterrupted uptime. Hardware failures, upstream networks, data-centre incidents and provider-wide outages remain outside CK Website Design's direct control.
Can you migrate a website or application to a new server?
Yes, where the source and destination environments are supported. We inventory the website, database, DNS, certificates, email dependencies and access before agreeing a migration plan, testing approach and rollback route.
Who is responsible for server hardware and network faults?
Physical hardware, data-centre power, upstream network and hosting-platform faults normally remain the hosting provider's responsibility. We can help diagnose symptoms and coordinate information within the agreed scope.
Does server maintenance include emergency support?
Emergency investigation can be scoped separately or included in a written support arrangement. Response expectations, access, exclusions and escalation responsibilities must be agreed in advance.
