Managed Hosting
Managed hosting offers system level administration and support, comprehensive Internet infrastructure, and extensive services that relive IT departments of many critical, but costly, responsibilities.
With basic dedicated hosting, the jobs of advanced monitoring, load balancing, elevated security, data storage, stress testing, best-in-hosting technical expertise, and content delivery are left to the customer.
With managed hosting, the provider owns the data centers, the network, the server and other devices, and is responsible for installing, maintaining and monitoring them. The customer has only to deal with their operating systems and applications, retaining full control of both. This balance of responsibilities allows for levels of security, scalability, and uptime that far exceed basic dedicated hosting and other hosting options.
Most hosting services offer basic services, including choice of OS, routing equipment, network connectivity, and complete administrative control. Going beyond that, a managed server will also handle the administrative tasks, assigning a dedicated service representative who will work only with a handful of accounts. This human resource is one of the greatest assets of managed hosting, since their people will be interfacing with you and your equipment more often than in a typical low-end, shared hosting situation. Due to such close interaction between provider and client, it is important to have such qualified personnel handling your business.
