- Daily Uptime Checks/Site

Additionally, a technician (that is familiar with your site) checks your front end site and reviews your log files daily.
- Database I/O
- Databases
A fast means for storing information often used by applications like the online Content Management System: WordPress. Most apps use a single database to store much of what makes the app take shape. All of the pieces of information that transform an empty application into a useful tool are likely stored in a database with the exception of the program, images and a few datasets stored in file form. Databases are typically fast, efficient and relatively portable. For instance, one can take a clone of a database and make a few changes and erect a Staging Site where their data set can be altered without effecting the original.
Note: From a website perspective, a typical configuration might be: One database for WordPress, one for a Staging Site and one for an Email App.
