For a website to stay reachable over time, a few technical decisions are needed — and then some routine. This category covers domains and hosting, mailboxes and their deliverability, SSL encryption, backups, updates and rendering on small screens. It is equally about loading times: which images cause trouble, what caching achieves and how to tell that a hosting plan is too tight. We explain which tasks recur regularly, what can be automated and when a maintenance service makes more sense than doing it yourself. All of it described so that it stays comprehensible without an IT department and you can assess quotes objectively. We additionally explain which documents and credentials you should own yourself so that changing provider remains technically possible at any time.
