Company
Both the Water Resources Authority (WRA) and this projects have similar technical requirements when it comes to web hosting. In both cases, the projects necessitate adequate disk space, bandwidth, server and operating system configurations, security measures (such as SSL certificates), FTP access, hosting control panel, dedicated hosting, reliability, e-mail services, and data protection. The approach used in delivering web hosting services for the WRA project can be easily transferred to this project, ensuring a stable, secure, and efficient online presence for both organizations.
Project Size
The size of the WRA project, in terms of web hosting, was substantial as it required 1 Terabyte (1TB) of disk space on the web server and a bandwidth of 100GB web space. This allowed the website to handle an average of 10,000 visits weekly with quick load times on a standard connection. The project catered to the needs of various stakeholders, including policymakers, researchers, and the public, requiring a significant amount of storage and bandwidth to deliver a seamless user experience.
Physical Complexity
The physical complexity of the WRA project involved setting up a dedicated server and database for hosting the website. This required careful selection and configuration of the server environment, ensuring that it met the specific needs of the WRA in terms of performance, security, and scalability. The team needed to address various technical aspects, such as server settings, hardware and software resources, data protection, and implementing security measures like SSL certificates and firewalls. This level of physical complexity ensured a stable, secure, and efficient hosting solution for the WRA website.
Methods/Technology
- Requirement Analysis: The Sohn and Sol team started by analyzing the WRA’s existing website and understanding the organization’s web hosting requirements. This process involved discussing the technical needs and expectations with the client and identifying the necessary hosting resources, such as disk space, bandwidth, and server configurations.
- Hosting Platform Selection: Based on the gathered requirements, the team selected an appropriate hosting platform for the WRA project. This involved choosing a dedicated server and a suitable database system, as well as the operating system that would be compatible with the chosen hosting environment.
- Server Setup and Configuration: The team proceeded to set up and configure the dedicated server and database system to meet the WRA’s specific needs. This step included installing the necessary software and applications, configuring server settings, optimizing server performance, and ensuring the overall security of the hosting environment.
- Website Deployment and Testing: With the hosting environment prepared, the team deployed the WRA website to the server, ensuring that all necessary files and databases were in place. They then rigorously tested the website’s functionality and performance to ensure that it was running smoothly and securely on the new hosting environment.
- Ongoing Monitoring and Maintenance: Once the website was live, the team continued to monitor the server and hosting environment to ensure optimal performance and address any issues that might arise. This included performing regular updates, maintaining security measures, and optimizing server resources as needed.
These methods and technologies are in direct alignment with the requirements for the Competition Authority’s project, particularly in areas like website security, SEO, and user experience.
