Municipal websites
Estimate traffic, published documents, search and content-management requirements. Include the staff workflow for publishing service information.
Server Planning for Local Government
Choose infrastructure around the public website or departmental application your city, municipality or county needs to operate.
Plan the applications you will host
Service-request applications
Record form, database and notification dependencies. Define how residents receive confirmation and how staff review and update a request.
Maps and document access
Size storage and processing for the files or datasets the application publishes. Confirm supported formats and any specialist software requirements.
Department ownership
Assign application owners, editor roles and support responsibilities. Record approved hosting locations and the documentation required by your purchasing process.
Choose a configuration for your workload
Compare the application’s CPU, RAM and storage requirements with the available plans. A document website and an interactive service-request system may need different resources. Include licences, backups and administration in the operating budget, then confirm the selected location and final configuration.
Use the server comparison to review the two server types, or explore country and city guides for location options.
Before putting the application live
Follow a resident-facing task
Use test information to find a service, submit a sample request and verify its confirmation and staff workflow.
Prepare content updates
Check publishing permissions, mobile use and the process for correcting or withdrawing an outdated notice.
Test departmental recovery
Restore the website or application and document who verifies records and resumes its operation.
Operating your server
The standard dedicated and cloud plans are presented as unmanaged. Assign responsibility for the operating system, applications, updates, monitoring and backups. Review server management responsibilities and use the deployment checklist to plan the move.
Choose your server plan
Compare the current configurations and prices, then review your product, location, options and final total in the cart.
