The management and care of a web site is vital to how well it will be able to function with customers browsing the store, placing orders, and requesting information about various products. With the threat of viruses and worms that crash systems and web sites increasing, a well known virus scanning system should be used on a regular basis to make certain the web site is not contaminated and, in turn, contaminating a customer\'s email or web page.

The management and care of a web site is vital to how well it will be able to function with customers browsing the store, placing orders, and requesting information about various products. With the threat of viruses and worms that crash systems and web sites increasing, a well known virus scanning system should be used on a regular basis to make certain the web site is not contaminated and, in turn, contaminating a customer's email or web page. In order to avoid this catastrophe, and the possible loss of customers and income, keeping your software, especially WordPress, taken care of and up to date is incredibly important. The following steps will help you insure that your WordPress software will be virus free for as long as you have a web site.
The first thing to do is to keep WordPress updated regularly. Because viruses and worms are constantly evolving and getting around firewalls, updates to existing programs also must evolve to protect the information stored on the web pages, and the confidential information of the customers. You will not have very many customers if your web site gets hacked into and the credit card information of your customers is stolen. Not only will you have to inform them of the hacking, but they will have to monitor their credit cards for quite a while and make certain that their credit report is not affected by this lapse of security on your part. Most likely, they will never shop at your site again because they do not feel safe there. Keeping your WordPress updated will help eliminate this potential problem.
The second thing to do is to always back up your files. Again, this goes back to site security. If your site gets hacked, you can have the proof that customers were or were not purchasing things so that the police can verify with the credit card companies who is responsible for the recent purchases which are on the customer's credit card. This back up file will also help if your site is crashed by a heavy amount of traffic. If you lose important things, like payment forms, membership information, and product advertisement, an earlier version would be saved to your hard drive, which could act as a temporary replacement until you can get the site fixed and back to where it was before the crash. You may want to also store this information in a jump drive or some other form of storage that is independent of your computer, in case everything in your computer gets erased.
The third thing to do is to keep your site and files clean. Just like a desk in real life, a cluttered site and files will lead to disastrous results. If your web site is unorganized, how will the customers be able to find the product they want? How will you process requests for specific products if you cannot find their order forms? How will you be able to market new products if you cannot find the information about them that you need to write a press release? Cleanliness and organization are key, if you want this to be a successful business.
