Is your website getting out of date?

Anyone who has a website, especially one you have responsibility for, needs maintainance.
Why?
Even if your site has not changed, others have. Many sites have links that point to other useful and relevant ones. Over time, some will change while others will move or disappear completely. The reputation of your site often depends on whether visitors can find what they need there. If they can't they will try somewhere else.

Of course it is easier if you have another service host it for you. Each day you can look at it and upload changes or updates as required. On the other hand, if it is hosted in house, updating can be more difficult, often due to the fact that the only one who can't see what's going on is you. That may seem ironic, but a Linux server may not present you with a view of the real condition of your site. This is especially true if your server contains a text based server program like Debian (Linux). It's great software, known for its stability, but a demanding environment to work in. What can you do?
Being text based, and extremely stable, the server requires you to deal with it on a text level (no windows icons even if your website has them).

In this situation you may get help from a local Linux user group, often called a LUG. Many such groups exist, some providing voluntary free service. In the end though you yourself will need to learn the ropes to handle the system. Many user groups exist, so chances are you can contact one in your area.
