When a company builds a homepage, it prepares the server and domain, installs
a CMS
such as
WordPress
, takes security measures, and prepares the infrastructure. There is something to do.

Therefore, this time, we will explain the infrastructure necessary for building a homepage and the points to note when building one.
What infrastructure does a company need when building a homepage?
When building a homepage, you need to prepare various infrastructure in advance.

Infrastructure
is an abbreviation for the English word “infrastructure,” and generally refers to the social infrastructure that supports life, such as roads, railways, water and sewage systems, electricity, telephone networks, and communication networks. Applying this infrastructure to a homepage, the essential elements that form the basis of a homepage are sometimes referred to as the homepage infrastructure.
From a physical and structural perspective, the infrastructure of a homepage includes the following, starting from the bottom:
1. Collocation
Physical storage location for PCs, racks, power supplies, servers, etc. Data centers also need to be constructed as needed.
2. Network environment required for viewing and testing network homepages, such as an Internet connection line.
3. Hardware In addition to network equipment for the Internet, if your company prepares a server, this corresponds to that server.
4.OS
Operating systems such as Windows and macOS. There are also cases where Linux is introduced as necessary.

5. Middleware The middleware required for a company homepage includes MySQL, servers, storage, domains, DNS, SSL certificates, etc.
6. Application This is an application used on the company homepage. An example is the CMS WordPress. You have options such as developing your own in-house, using products or open source.

The above are parts that make up the infrastructure, and are nothing more than tools. After preparing all of these, it is important to build a corporate homepage infrastructure that takes into account security measures, countermeasures and processing methods for when the number of accesses to the homepage is high, and optimization of page display speed. It can be called construction.

Points to note when setting up the infrastructure for your company website
Since a corporate homepage is a homepage published by a company, reliability, performance, and operability are particularly important. Therefore, we will explain the points that company representatives should pay particular attention to when setting up the infrastructure of a company’s homepage.

For example, for applications such as CMS, install the latest version with security measures, always keep the version up to date, install a “WAF (Web Application Firewall)”, and access the homepage in large numbers. One possible solution is to introduce an intrusion prevention system called an IPS (Instruction Prevention System) to prevent DoS attacks that can cause servers to stop functioning.

summary
◆The elements that make up the infrastructure required when a company builds a homepage include colocation, networks, hardware, OS, middleware, and applications.
◆Building infrastructure for a corporate homepage involves preparing all the elements that make up the infrastructure and then building it in such a way that it can maintain sufficient performance as a corporate homepage.

◆When setting up the infrastructure for a company’s homepage, it is important to create an environment in which the server does not stop as much as possible, to ensure security measures are in place, and to consider scalability.
