MANAGED / HOSTED SERVERS

data centre with green tint

Servers are great while they're working - you don't notice them. But when they fail the consequences can be serious, perhaps devastating. For any business, unless you have sufficient time, resources and technical expertise, a hosted solution is the failsafe answer.

A managed server is, if you like, your server but with extra features and support. It comes with the hardware, a choice of operating system, routing equipment and network connectivity. It will be set up and running for you. But, unlike any other level of hosting, our managed hosting services will handle most of the administrative tasks on the server leaving you free to concentrate on your business. Other benefits include:

No capital expenditure on hardware
No need to manage the hardware
No need to carry hardware stock in case of failure
No network management necessary
Minimal administration
All critical patching undertaken on your behalf
Service Level Agreements guarantee service levels
24/7/365 support from technicians dedicated to supporting you
Flexible and scaleable with your growth

Before deciding on your managed hosting requirement, it's worth considering if you would benefit from a dedicated server. Does your site have high-traffic or complicated e-commerce software? Do you need customised applications? And if you need a dedicated server, consider what other services you need your web host to provide. You may want security, firewalls, monitoring and reporting, data back-up and so on. If that's the case, then you'll need a managed hosting plan.
