Task 3

3.1 Web Hosting Server

Godaddy.com can be used for the purpose of hosting the website and getting a domain for the Dress2go website.

The bandwidth requirement for the initial stages of the website’s launch should be somewhere around 4GB.

An initial storage capacity of 512 GB will help in the process of launching the website. This will not only allow to store the necessary elements for the system but will also allow in the robust and hassle-free execution of the website.

The need for a domain mail is also very crucial, such that the customers can write mail to the company domain directly.

3.2 Server Security

The following steps should be taken care of the security of the files and data that is uploaded on the server:

• SSH Authentication: SSH keys are sets of cryptographic keys, which are used to confirm to a SSH server as an option in contrast to the general secret key-based logins. A private and open key pair are generated preceding the validation phase. While the private key is held onto by the client, the open key is imparted to the other users who plan on accessing the system.
• Firewalls: This is a software tool, which controls the general administrator rights of the system. This makes sure that all sorts of external access to the system without the proper privileges are blocked out. This will help in keeping the Dress2go website safe from eligible hackers and improper access.

Server backups are necessary. A backup server empowers the backup of data, information, documents, applications and potentially databases on a represented considerable authority in an in-house or remotely hosted server. It consolidates equipment and programming advancements, which give backup and other recovery administrations to associated computers, related gadgets and or servers. The following will be followed in order to back up the site in consideration:

• A full back-up stores a duplicate copies of files and data as per the scheduled timings. Records are typically compressed to spare space, be that as it may, notwithstanding when packed full backups may devour a great deal of capacity.
• Incremental Backups are a smarter way to utilize the prospects of the back-up system. This assists the system by taking iterative backups after specific intervals. This ensures that only the updated states of the system are backed-up, hence saving up on backup storage space and time.
