Hello,

You are absolutely right; this is indeed one of the biggest challenges in the online business sphere. Any company can face such issues.

If we’re talking about preventing problems on the provider’s side, my advice is to invest in UPS systems and generators. These solutions can serve as a reliable foundation for your business in case of power outages. This is crucial for ensuring uninterrupted server operations and avoiding downtime, which in turn allows your clients to have peace of mind about your site’s availability.

If you are renting servers for your business, it’s best to remain patient in case of outages on your hosting provider’s side. A reliable provider will respond to your inquiries promptly and work diligently to resolve the issue as quickly as possible.

However, it’s important not to overwhelm them with frequent messages—this won’t speed up the recovery process. Staying calm and trusting in the expertise of your hosting company is key.

Correct, Sometimes it's unavoidable, I don't think there is a business that has not faced these problems.

Totally agree—downtime is expensive, not just in terms of money but also the trust customers have in your business. Avoiding it does come with a cost, but it’s one of those investments that’s absolutely worth it in the long run.

For us, we’ve learned that being proactive is everything. Things like setting up backups, having failovers, and keeping a close eye on system performance have saved us more times than I can count. One big lesson? Redundancy is king. Whether it’s your hardware, network, or even having a backup plan for your backup plan, it all adds up to keeping things running smoothly.

Sure, it takes effort and resources to build that kind of resilience, but when something unexpected happens, you’re glad you didn’t cut corners.

I agree with you, but it's worth considering that no matter how you prepare, things may not go according to plan. In my opinion, therefore, it is important that you have good technical support who will communicate with customers and keep them informed of events. You need to invest in business, especially in generators, UPS, fire protection, etc. BUT do not forget that one of the most important things in our world is communication with a person, and therefore technical support should always be available and always help.
