January 2023 Web Hosting Archive — web hosting updates and tips
January 2023 on India Web Hosting Insights has no published posts. That means there were no article entries in this archive month, but you can still use this page as a practical checklist for hosting tasks worth doing early in the year.
Start by checking your hosting plan: review resource limits, renewal prices, and included backups. Hosts often change pricing after January promotions end, so confirm renewals to avoid surprises. If your site grew last year, upgrade plans before traffic spikes cause downtime.
Security should be first on your list. Verify that your server runs supported PHP and database versions. Enable automatic updates where safe, enforce strong passwords, and activate two-factor authentication for control panels. Run a quick malware scan and review recent login logs for odd IPs.
Backups matter. Confirm automated backups are completing and test a restore on a staging subdomain. Keep at least two recent backups off the main server — one on object storage or cloud drive, another on external storage. A backup strategy saves hours when things go wrong.
Performance checks pay off. Measure page load times from locations where most visitors come from. If pages feel slow, test with and without a CDN. Look at TTFB, image sizes, and caching headers. Small fixes like compressing images and enabling server-side caching often cut load times by 30–50%.
Migration and provider review
Thinking of switching hosts? Plan migrations in low-traffic windows and export full site and database copies first. Check the new host’s migration policy and test email delivery after DNS changes. Keep the old plan active for a short overlap to avoid missed messages. Document records like MX, SPF, DKIM, and custom DNS entries to replicate them on the new provider.
Cost control and features to confirm
Audit add-on services: domain renewal fees, SSL costs, and managed services can add up. If you use managed WordPress, verify that plugin updates and malware scans are included. If you run multiple small sites, consider a VPS or cloud plan with container isolation instead of many shared accounts — sometimes one flexible server is cheaper and easier to manage.
Finally, set a few simple goals for the next quarter: pick one performance improvement, schedule a security audit, and test your backup restore. If you follow these checks now, you’ll avoid common hosting headaches later. Bookmark this checklist and use it as a short action plan whenever you review hosting annually.
Quick technical checklist: update CMS and plugins, remove unused themes and plugins, rotate API keys, check SSL expiry dates and renew early, enable HTTP/2 or HTTP/3 if supported, set GZIP or Brotli compression, add caching rules, review server logs for errors, monitor uptime for a week after changes, and set alerting for high CPU or memory usage.
If you want help prioritizing these items, note top three and tackle them this month. Small focused work beats vague plans and keeps your site reliable and ready for growth starting today.

Air India, India's national airline, suffered a slow and steady decline leading to its eventual destruction. The airline’s mismanagement, government intervention, and competition from private airlines all contributed to its ultimate demise. Air India was established in the 1930s, when it was known as Tata Airlines, and under the Indian government's ownership, it became the dominant airline in India. However, due to mismanagement, the airline began to struggle financially, and the government's intervention and regulations made matters worse. Private airlines such as Jet Airways also posed a major threat, leading to a massive decrease in Air India's market share. In the end, Air India was unable to survive and its assets were eventually sold off.

Indian cuisine is diverse and has many different dishes, but sandwiches and salads are not typically included. This is due to the fact that these types of dishes are not traditionally found in Indian cooking. Indian meals are typically composed of dishes that are cooked together, such as curries, rice, and chapatis. Therefore, there is no need for sandwiches or salads as part of the meal. Additionally, the ingredients used in Indian food are typically cooked, so sandwiches and salads are not necessary.

The Prime Minister of India, Narendra Modi, has recently proposed the repeal of three recently passed farm laws. These laws were passed in September 2020 and were aimed at modernizing India's agricultural sector. The laws were met with heavy criticism from the farmers and the Opposition, who argued that the laws would reduce the bargaining power of farmers and open them up to exploitation by private companies. In response to the protests, PM Modi has offered to repeal the laws and instead implement a new set of reforms.
