  1. What Causes a Server to go Down? “The server is down” is the common thing that we hear in banks, universities, and even businesses. When this issue becomes a recurring problem, the question then becomes whether the real problem is with the computer, the network, the website, the internet service provider, or the vendor. Multiple variables can cause server issues, making it difficult to point out the exact cause. As an experienced fully managed VPS hosting provider, we are going to discuss the common causes of server downtime and also share how to prevent them. 1.Network Unavailability When there is a network outage, your server cannot communicate with other computers. As a result, all the work comes to a halt. The real issue with network outage is that it too can be caused by anything right from router failure to cable cuts to internet service provider problems. To make sure that your operations don’t disrupt due to network outages, you must keep backups in place. Besides, you need to ensure that your network equipment is well-maintained at all times. 2.Errors Made by Staff

  2. Most often, human errors are the reason behind VPS downtime events. That’s why you should have tech experts for server management. However, for businesses, hiring tech specialists can be a problem especially when they have limited resources and undertrained staff. In such cases, the best solution is to hire fully managed VPS hosting providers. They can help you manage and optimize your servers at a fraction of the cost of managing dedicated servers. 3.Hardware Problems Servers run 24/7 and since virtual private servers also rely on physical servers, they also tend to shut down at some point. In addition to the effects of continued use of physical servers, accidents and calamities can also cause hardware breakdown. In this case, having a reliable backup system in place can help you prevent downtime due to hardware failure. Various businesses prefer cloud-based server solutions or VPS solutions as backups for redundancy purposes. If any damage occurs to physical servers for any reason, they still have cloud-based servers to rely upon. 4.Software Problems If your server runs on software that is not regularly audited and updated, it will be more prone to issues, such as breakdowns, glitches, and software freezes. Thus, it is important to invest in experts that know how to maintain your virtual private servers in the best condition and how to keep their software updated. Server management specialists can help ensure that all your server software is secure, updated, and maintained to minimize disruption. 5.Third-Party or Cloud Vendor Outages If your business is running on a cloud-hosted or hybrid cloud server setup, you may experience downtime due to problems that may occur at the vendor’s end. If a vendor fails to keep its systems running, your business also goes down with it. Thus, look for only reputable fully managed VPS hosting providers that can guarantee the highest level of uptime and are equipped with the right tools and redundancies so that you enjoy a seamless experience when using the server and other resources.
