Server management refers to the maintenance, operation and support of host computers or servers. It can be in the form of hardware maintenance, but it also pertains to the act of maintaining the functionality and security of the data located within servers like Websites. The main goal of server management is the maintenance of service or “uptime.” This means that it is important for the data within the server to be accessible and functional 99.9% of the time.

Most websites have a server administrator that performs server management tasks. Among these tasks is hardware maintenance. This basically involves making sure that the computer acting as the server is at an optimum location, has functioning parts with all of them connected and interacting well.

Security is also an issue of server management. Hackers and other security issues can cause significant problems to the data stored within a server. Keeping and maintaining the right kind of data security and maintenance software is part of server management.
