Why You Should Choose Managed Dedicated Serve Hosting?

We have already discussed the benefits of Dedicated Server Hosting in my previous blog.

And we have also discussed what type of businesses should go for dedicated hosting.

But with dedicated servers, again there are two options to choose from.

The hosting companies provide two types of dedicated hosting solutions to its clients: Unmanaged Servers and Managed Server.

Here we will understand these options and checkout how the managed services can add benefits to your business.

What is Unmanaged Dedicated Server Hosting Service?

In an unmanaged server, a client rents only server hardware from the hosting provider. The provider is responsible for the proper functioning of hardware infrastructure without any concern regarding the software updates, installation and even the server security.

The client is fully responsible to manage and maintain the server remotely. The Client has to perform many server activities including the set-up of files, testing and resolving compatibility issues, prevention of security risks and control of attacks.

Careless server security can open up vulnerabilities that will hinder business activities rendering a risk to the security of the company’s private data over the long term.

What is Managed Dedicated Server Hosting Service?

Contrary to the unmanaged Servers, Dedicated server hosting provider takes the complete responsibility to maintain and manage the client’s servers. The hosting provider allocates expert resources to monitor, configure and maintain your servers.

Businesses that go for managed server hosting are free from handling regular server maintenance tasks and can devote valuable time to core business functions.

Now as you know about unmanaged and managed servers, let us check how managed dedicated server hosting can prove to be profitable for your business.

Regular Software Updates

The first benefit that comes with managed hosting is that you can relive yourself from the task of regular software updates. Software companies have regular updates and modifications to correct bugs in a system. Some of these vulnerabilities can compromise your website security making it prone to hacker’s attack leading to data loss.

However, if you have a managed dedicated server, all these upgrades will be performed for you by your hosting service to assure that your website has the latest software enabled.

Hassle Free Hardware Maintenance

It is not just the software program that has to be periodically patched and modified. The server hardware also requires continuous maintenance for optimal performance. Moreover, in case your server gets crashed and you do not have in-house IT technicians, you will be on boiling water. The only option you are left with is to call the support team and wait for them to resolve the issue.

But with managed services, it is the responsibility of the hosting provider to maintain your server hardware to keep it up and running persistently. So even if your website goes down, it will be restored as soon as possible by your dedicated server hosting provider.

Regular Data Backup

All your business information including critical customer data is stored on your server. This data is gathered over the years and is very precious for any organization. But in case your server crashes due to any reason, all your data is at risk of loss.

Although, with managed servers, you can be assured that your data is always safeguarded. The hosting provider takes regular backup of all the files on your server and can be restored instantly whenever required.

Web Traffic Congestions

At times, excessive traffic driving to your site can be an awful thing. It can cause traffic blots creating a bottleneck that hinders your website speed, which will eventually take your users away because they feel that something is wrong.

But when you hire managed services, your server is monitored continuously by your hosting provider to avoid such congestions without causing any adverse effect on your website.

Security from Hackers

Hacking is a core concern that must be taken into account by both website owners and operators. On a shared server, an unsecured web site on the same server will compromise your safety. When hackers access the website, the server can be used to attack any other website hosted on the same server.

You do not need to worry about such attacks with the managed dedicated server hosting as your website is solely hosted on the server and the hosting provider performs regular security scanning to check for any viruses and malware.

Round The Clock Support

Last but not the least, your managed hosting provider has an expert team of IT technicians capable of handling any server issues that may arise. They are available 24×7 to help you and guide you for smooth operations. So you do not need an in-house dedicated IT staff to maintain your website, saving you a lot of money over the long run.

Hope this post gives you all the good reason to choose a managed hosting provider and achieve great success in your business.
