Introduction To Managed Web Hosting

Introduction To Managed Web Hosting

Managed web hosting is a certain type of hosting that entails being given an entire server. It shares much in common with a dedicated server, with the difference being that maintenance service and technical support are also included. Managed hosting involves your server being maintained by your host, saving you the expense and hassle of doing so yourself. This means that the provider can carry out all administrative and maintenance duties. All of these advantages make managed web hosting a perfect choice for those who want good quality, reliable hosting that affords them some freedom, while also not having to deal with the complicated technical issues of managing a server that requires experience and ability.

Managed hosting is ideal for individuals who lack the technical knowhow to manage their own server, or for organisations that lack the time or capital to invest in server administration. Unmanaged servers are sometimes a better choice for those individuals and companies that have a high level of expertise in server maintenance and administration, as well as sufficient hours and resources to maintain them, but even these people often prefer to leave it to the experts.

Managed web hosting is more expensive than a dedicated server because of the additional support that comes with it. On the other hand, it also provides greater reassurance. It is for this reason that many people choose managed hosting services when they are just starting out, before moving on to dedicated servers once they have gained some technical expertise and their company has grown to the extent that it makes sense for its website to have a server of its own. This may also allow you to save money.

Finding the right websites offering managed web hosting

If you are looking for a site that offers managed web hosting, you will have several key priorities. You will want to find a competitively priced managed hosting package that allows you to host the number of websites that you would like to have hosted, whether you have one website or more than five – indeed, the best such firms will be able to host an unlimited number of websites on one package. The best such companies will also offer plenty of web space on which to host your site. The best companies offering managed web hosting should also offer a large amount of bandwidth and numbers of emails.

The best company will have a strong reputation as a result of having spent years providing customers across the world with dedicated servers, managed infrastructure services. Such a company will use “best of breed” technologies, offering superior quality bandwidth and expert IT personnel along with well-defined processes to deliver reliable, cost-effective services.

The managed web hosting company that you choose should be able to provide the best possible services for your money, delivering solutions that meet the needs of your business regardless of its present size. It should offer everything from single server co-location to fully customized dedicated servers, provide companies with all of the IT solutions that they require to concentrate on their core business instead of managing servers, networks and firewalls, often saving significant amounts of money.
