IONOS Server Guide: pro­fes­sion­al tips on con­fig­ur­a­tion and ad­min­is­tra­tion

Servers are what make up the physical basis of the internet. Setting up your own pro­fes­sion­al site, putting products online for sale, or con­nect­ing multiple company locations with one another: all of these tasks require the support of high-per­form­ance computers. And it doesn’t matter if you purchase hardware resources for your own data center or opt for the flex­ib­il­ity of cloud services: operating a server comes with the challenge of in­de­pend­ently con­fig­ur­ing and ad­min­is­ter­ing hardware com­pon­ents. But don’t worry, there’s a lot of support out there for these tasks. In the Server Guide of IONOS’s Digital Guide series, you’ll find regular articles, news, and tutorials on how to operate this in­dis­pens­able component of today’s IT in­fra­struc­ture.

Server in­form­a­tion for busi­nesses, de­velopers, and tech hobbyists

Packed with practical tips, our guide covers a wide spectrum of topics primarily aimed at mid-sized companies, freelance de­velopers, and tech hobbyists. While some articles, like ‘What is a server?’ or ‘DNS – name res­ol­u­tion online’ cater more to beginners, experts are by no means left hanging; there’s a wide range of detailed texts and tutorials on important tasks like choosing the best operating system, filling security gaps, or getting the best possible per­form­ance out of your software and hardware.

What you can expect in the IONOS Server Guide

If you take a look, you’ll notice our guide is divided into four different sub­cat­egor­ies, each covering a different topic. The ‘KnowHow’ area sets out to fa­mil­i­ar­ise beginners with the basics of operating a server. Details on different server types and how to use them are also laid out here. Tips and tricks on managing server software is found under the keyword, ‘Con­fig­ur­a­tion’. The category, ‘Security’ is all about dealing with potential problems server operators may encounter from online threats. Con­ven­tion­al methods of attack, like viruses, worms, and Trojans, and what you can do to combat them are explained here. And the category, ‘Tools’, provides useful guidance on what resources can help make ad­min­is­ter­ing your server a more man­age­able task.
