Detailed explanation-1: -Servers (meaning a machine with proper server grade components) are design to run continuously. There is no reason to shut it down at night but some very good reasons to leave it running. Nighttime, or whatever other time is “quiet” for a given system is the time to run all the maintenance and automation.
Detailed explanation-2: -Don’t Unplug a Server Unplugging is called a hard shutdown and can cause severe issues; unexpected stops to running services may result in data loss and hard drive corruption.
Detailed explanation-3: -Leaving your computer on does little damage to modern computers. However, when the computer is on, the fan is working to cool the machine’s components. When it’s running consistently, it will shorten the lifespan slightly.
Detailed explanation-4: -Power surges or power drops occurring when a machine is powered by its power adapter are more harmful to a sleeping computer than to one completely shut down. The heat produced by a sleeping machine exposes all components to higher heat more of the time. Computers left on all the time may have a shorter life.
