Dedicated Server Quick Questions and Answers
What is Managed Hosting/Servers and What's Included?
Managed hosting/dedicated server includes the server, power, rack space and bandwidth as well as server security, patch upgrades, 24/7 monitoring setup and maintenance. Managed hosting is the correct choice for companies that do not have the in-house staff to maintain a dedicated server. By using the hosting company to maintain and monitor the dedicated servers through a managed hosting setup, businesses effectively reduce their own burden and save money that would have otherwise been spent on personnel.
The managed hosting definition also includes more complex types of web hosting, such as load balancing, clustering and high availability. In these cases, the staff that is familiar with and maintaining the servers also structures and maintains more complex setups that allow for maximum uptime, performance and redundancy.
What is Unnamanged Hosting
Unmanaged hosting includes the server, power, rack space and bandwidth to support your server, as well as 24/7 support, however does not include the monitoring and maintenance that a managed server does.
Unmanaged hosting is ideal for web hosting resellers and individuals and companies that have the in-house expertise to maintain a secure and updated server. Unmanaged hosting is less expensive than managed hosting, however one must be careful to understand the true cost (i.e. in-house labor) of utilizing unmanaged hosting. If you're just starting out with a dedicated server, managed hosting is probably a better option than using an unmanaged server.
