Why do internet/ online servers need maintenance ?
In: 1
Think of servers like a home. Your home can only hold so much right? You got people going in and out, you have new furniture, old trash, etc etc.
Severs are always taking in new data, sending out old data.
Servers also have something called databases, these store information for the server to get later on. Think of it as an organized drawer in your home.
Now, Let’s imagine your house has a broken window. Not good for security right? Well, the same goes for servers. There are new vulnerability’s being discovered constantly, so sometimes they need to go down for maintence in order to fix those new security issues. Another reason it can go down is because too many people are trying to get on the server. Lets imagine again, Your house. If it’s just you and your family in your house, it’s fine, right? Well, what if your entire neighborhood went into your house. It becomes hard to move around, you become slower because you need to navigate through all these people. Servers also only have so much room, and sometimes they need to have maintence done to help make more room for more people
