About Keitaro

Keitaro is a tracker that requires its own server to install, and using it will be an important first step in working with this system. Your success in online marketing depends on many factors, and one of the key ones is the stability and performance of the server, which can handle the load. A properly selected server becomes the basis of a successful business. The location of the server and its proximity to traffic sources play a key role in the effectiveness of advertising campaigns. Server response time, or ping, directly affects page loading speed and, accordingly, audience engagement and profits. The closer the server is to your target audience, the faster the pages load, which helps keep users' attention. A simple rule: the shorter the delay, the higher the performance.
There are two main types of trackers: server-based and cloud-based. When choosing cloud solutions, you are freed from the need to purchase, configure and maintain your own server, since all these services are usually included in the tariff. If you prefer complete control and have basic technical skills, you should consider installing the tracker on your own server. This will allow you to set up all aspects of tracking yourself and ensure maximum data security.

Server characteristics and scalability
Your server must be able to handle the predicted amount of traffic and be ready to scale. Even if you're starting small, it's important to find out in advance whether your server provider will be able to increase CPU power, RAM, and bandwidth in the future. If this is not provided, in the midst of campaigns there may be a need to urgently change providers, which will lead to the suspension of active campaigns and loss of time and money.

Server security and reliability
Server security is essential to protect sensitive data and ensure smooth operation. You can check the reliability of the provider based on user reviews, communication with colleagues and information on specialized forums. Regular backups are an additional measure of protection in case of unforeseen situations.

Consequences of choosing the wrong server
- Reduced productivity and profitability. A slow server with high latency reduces the effectiveness of advertising, as users may not wait for pages to load and leave the site. This will lead to decreased engagement and an inability to effectively handle traffic.
- Increased risk of data loss and security risks. An untrusted server puts sensitive data at risk. For example, the server may be vulnerable to attacks such as DDoS, resulting in crashes or data loss. It is important to ensure that the provider uses modern security protocols.
- Limiting scalability and growth potential. If the server does not support scaling, it can slow down the growth of your business. In the event of an unexpected increase in traffic, you must be prepared to quickly increase server resources to maintain profits and run successful campaigns.

How to choose the right server for Keitaro
Before choosing a server, answer a few key questions:
- How much traffic (clicks) do you plan to process daily?
- Where are your potential clients and target audience located?
- What additional features will you need, for example, protection against DDOS attacks or IPv6 support?
- How quickly do you plan to expand your operations and increase traffic volumes?

In addition to the standard server features, pay attention to the following options that can significantly increase the efficiency and security of your work:
- IPv6: This is an updated IP addressing protocol that is needed for user access from IPv6 addresses, especially in regions such as Asia, USA and Europe. Without IPv6 support, you risk losing some traffic.
- Protection against DDOS attacks: will help prevent server overload and tracker blocking due to attacks from competitors trying to damage your campaign with multiple clicks.
- SSH key: a more secure way to access the server compared to traditional root access, which is especially important for data protection.

How to install keitaro on a server?
In order for the client to connect to the server, it is necessary to use an SSH client (this is a service that allows you to connect to a computer that is physically remote from the client). For Windows, you can use the most popular tool - PuTTY. It is free and can be downloaded from the developer's official website. Download, install the program on your PC and run it.

Click yes if we install the tracker on a domain and want to get an SSL certificate, select no if we put Keitaro in the root of the server (your choice if you are a beginner). - If you click yes, another question will appear - Specify a list of domains separated by commas without spaces.
