Topic | Anyone here experienced with building a website? |
Rapid99 01/06/22 9:04:43 PM #20 | What little advice I can give is gleaned from doing tech support for a web host for several years and from running a rinky-dink WordPress site. I would start with a content management system like phpBB. It will still be an uphill battle, but you'll have templates and a lot of online documentation in video and text form to help you get started. Learn the ins and outs of whatever web host you go with. Not every host will be optimized for a small PHP forum (though most will be). Not every host will be able to provide adequate technical support for your website software (in fact most won't, and the ones that do will cost more). Review the software documentation for system requirements. Here's phpBB's: https://www.phpbb.com/support/docs/ Backup backup backup. Learn the most efficient method to create and store backups, automatically if possible but also manually before making any big changes to the site. You'll want to be able to keep backups on either a local device or a file sharer like Dropbox/Google Drive. At least one backup made per week minimum, you can stretch it once you're not editing so much. Keep at least 3 at any given time. Also learn how to restore from a backup (ask any potential host if they are able to restore from backups you have or their own). Hosts usually charge for their own backups, but if you take the time to learn how to preserve your data, you won't need to pay for such a service (though it may save you headaches in the long run). Security. phpBB is a popular open source CMS, which is great because lots of people study it and share what they know, but not so great because hackers will too. Keep an eye out for any software updates including PHP versions (8.0 is newest but idk how compatible phpBB is with it so might need to go with 7.6). Make sure your site has an SSL certificate and is using HTTPS (certs cost money but some hosts will provide them with the hosting, would strongly recommend going with one that does). Learn best practices like regularly rotating admin passwords, implementing Captcha, not installing a lot of third party plugins, etc. A A good host will keep your server security covered, but that's just one side of security, and it's ultimately up to you to protect your website software. Again this is where backups are crucial. While you're building the site I would recommend setting up something like an htpasswd file so any visitor has to input a login to see the site. https://help.dreamhost.com/hc/en-us/articles/216363187-Password-protecting-your-site-with-an-htaccess-file I hear mixed things about content delivery networks (CDNs) like Cloudflare. It does provide a layer of DDOS and SSL protection for free, but setting up and maintaining requires an understanding of DNS (though I would say this is required for anyone running a website). Again there's a lot of documentation on it out there, just gotta read about it. https://www.cloudflare.com/learning/what-is-cloudflare/ --- Formerly Smidge | The last ASCII artist. https://gfascii.art/ |
