AFOVA New Letter 2 of Year 2021

Section 3 – Value Add / Special Tasks CV 2 No. 02 / 2021 Page 37 of 332 AFVOA Website : A Status Update Our website www.afvoa.in went live on Aug 07, 2020. We are on the threshold of our first anniversary of the launch of the website. The number of visitors to our site has crossed the 8,500 mark recently. No security threat had ever been detected. As on date, the number of hits to the website stands at 8,921 (as on Jul 24, 2021), which is considered very healthy for a non-commercial and a service oriented site such as ours. The site is favourably placed for monetization, if ever the Association decides to go for it eventually. In the last one year of operations, we have had just two incidents that affected the operations of the website : 1. A forced downtime of 60 hours from 07:10 AM on Feb 04, 2021 till 08:20 PM on Feb 06, 2021, owing to the backend Server crash at the Service Providers (GoDaddy) end. 2. Owing to a freak accident during the periodical software upgrade of the operating environment on Mar 02, 2021, a file with the users’ credentials data for the Member’s Login page of our website was lost. The Managing Committee was constrained to request our Members to re-create the credentials all over again. Apart from the meagre initial investment, and the annual renewal of the web hosting environment, there has been no expenditure incurred on regular maintenance so far. It is a low-maintenance venture and the benefits far exceed the cost.
