Guide To Managed HostingMany businesses (especially SOHO’s and SME’s) are unable to meet the resource requirements required to manage their systems 24X7. In order to be successful, a company whose online presence is an integral part of its business must successfully implement and maintain the following:

- Web Site Hosting
- Remote application monitoring and support
- Database back-up, maintenance, and recovery Bandwidth measurement and scaling
- Server hardware and software
- Router(s) and other communication equipment that connects your server to the Internet
- Firewall, and other security hardware and applications
- Racks, cabling, and server-friendly facilities
- Uninterruptible power supply and generator to ensure backup in case of power failure

Hiring an in-house staff to maintain all this is prohibitively expensive, so outsourcing these infrastructure needs to a third-party can be a very cost-effective option. However, as more and more organizations claim to offer “managed services” it becomes difficult to determine between a MSP (Managed Services Provider) and a managed host. [Read more →]

The user’s actual perceptive of time to migrate onto a dedicated server includes several variables and requires him/her to respond a range of questions. Despite of the fact that dedicated servers are supreme because of the reason that only user and his/her business will be exploiting them, they are costly as well as needs someone to manage them, which asks additional money. One should calculate all the factors before marching to make further plans. Given next are the key aspects that one should keep in mind. Key factors:

1. Affordability
A primary and foremost question arises is whether or not the dedicated server chosen by the user is affordable or not. One is required to do some sort of calculation to see the outline of how much a dedicated server costs, also to know how much the user is required to pay for an administrator or rather can say for a fully managed dedicated server. These can cost high, especially if the user do not possess a large budget. One should make sure that his/her budget permits a dedicated server before searching for it.

2. Managed or Unmanaged

Second aspect to consider is that, is the user requires a managed dedicated server or unmanaged dedicated server. If one is well equipped with knowledge and knows how to manage it by his/her own, in that case he/she can opt for unmanaged server, however if it is not the case then managed server is the choice. One should keep it in mind early before lamenting due to over budget because that’s too late.

3. Requirement of additional space and bandwidth
Is the user really in requirement of space and bandwidth which a personal server provides? In a condition when web pages are loading rather quickly and the user still possess an ample amount of space on a shared server; then the user should consider why he/she need to invest in a dedicated server. If space and bandwidth are in the requirement then one should do it, however if user don’t have any sensitive information then it is useless to waste money.

4. Presence of Sensitive Files

Why individuals want dedicated servers? The answer is that they only hold that person’s information, instead of variety of peoples and businesses. So, if a user possesses ultra sensitive information he/she cannot take the chance. Probably it may get stolen; a dedicated server is no doubt an ideal choice in this case.

5. Requirement of tools and options
If the user possess his/her own dedicated server then it means that he/she definitely got the passport of having a variety of tools and options on the fingertips which he/she cant get if he/she is not having shared server. There are no restrictions with a dedicated server because it is totally of user, so the user can do whatever he/she wishes to do. The only factor that the user needs to consider is that he/she should not ignore the increasing budget size.
