Server setup for Bitrix: why it matters
What you get
Setting up the software correctly when installing Bitrix Site Manager and Bitrix24 (corporate portal) will help you:
- speed up the system;
- fix errors in the console;
- troubleshoot push notifications;
- set up WebRTC telephony;
- debug scheduled agents.
If the server is not set up in time, neither programmers nor technical support will be able to fix the errors.
Our team can keep Bitrix products running stably. We set up Windows Server and Linux systems and offer several options for installing and optimizing servers:
- a basic web environment;
- configurations for servers with ready-made control panels (ISPmanager, Plesk, VestaCP).
Server hosting and requirements
You can host the server on your company’s local network. Please note that without internet access, some features will not be available to you.
To have constant access to your server, we recommend colocation, which means placing your server in a data center. This service is in fairly high demand and is offered by many data centers.
When installing Bitrix products, it is also worth checking that the software is compatible with the server. To do this, you can use:
- The automatic test in the system itself.
- The recommendations in the admin panel.
- The test file available via the link for hosting providers. There you will also find the requirements for installing Bitrix products.
How to keep your data safe
To keep data safe, the website or portal administrator can set up backups.
Bitrix backups copy the data and move it to the cloud, provided you have a license key. Copies can also be moved to the website or portal folders and stored there.
Backup options can be chosen separately for each user.
Server administration
The administrator role can be handled:
- free of charge: by a specialist on your staff, if they know how to administer Linux servers;
- for a fee: by our employees.
