Summary

In this chapter, we looked at how to deploy our social networking site onto the Internet, how to keep spammers out using Mollom and reCAPTCHA, and how to keep it maintained using the maintenance mode, reports, and cron to keep everything running smoothly. We also looked into keeping backups of our site in case anything went wrong, and how to restore from a backup if we need to. Hopefully, we won't need to use the restore feature, but it is important to know how to use it in case we do.
