Some of the most important task for a webmaster:

1.Website statistics:

The webmaster has to check the web statistics very often and take necessary action if the site is going down. If the number of visitors have come down last month then the webmaster have to do something abut it. The webmaster has to know what went wrong.

2.Login Details Maintenance:

Webmaster has to look after a lot of websites so it may be difficult for him to remember all the usernames and passwords. Avoid using the same password for all the websites. Do track all the website’s login details, when you want to access those websites via FTP.

3.Taking Backups:

If the web server does carry automatic back ups then it is the duty of the webmaster to take copies of the website’s data. Regular use of back ups can help the webmaster when he wants to change servers.

4.Email Management:

Looking after a lot of websites means a lot of email addresses. The best way to go through it is by using email forwarding. This will redirect all e-mail messages from one e-mail address to another. All messages will be redirected to your main email address.

5.Client Management:

Webmasters also offer web hosting services, through which they can earn some extra money. If the webmaster has certain clients then he has to keep track of their web hosting accounts.

6.Website/Domain Management Software:

Now WHM/C control panels can control all the accounts. New software has been created based on these control panels that helps to manage multiple websites and accounts even if they reside in different servers.

There are a lot more issues to talk about relating to webmaster’s tasks. Some of the important tasks have been discussed above.
