How Can Managed Hosting Help My Business?

By Kevin Abrahams


After the development of e-commerce, most of the business transactions, reports, and communication are becoming online. It requires every company to have a network server to support the online activities.

Basically, you can save up space. Self-managed servers require in-house equipment that may occupy substantial amount of space. In contrast, managed server providers provide the necessary equipment. However, they would let you rent out some devices such as special routers and communication gears.

Primarily, having managed servers reduces the intensity of the complex work in maintaining it. It occupies certain period of time to maintain the server such as clearing up the bugs, and updating everything from software installation to file sorting. As a result, lesser time are allotted to; say for example, production department.

On the other hand, having outsourced managed servers is better. Being the company's owner/manager, you will have more time to focus on the other aspect of the company which has an utmost need for manager's attention and decision.

Most of the time, managed servers come in a package of services. Staffs of the outsourced company are more knowledgeable in terms of debugging some virus, repairing technical problems, software installation, updating network servers, and dealing with securities. Aside from this, being their field of specialization, company's web site could have a more professional-made look, thereby, creating a more impressive web site for the visitors.

One of the risks in putting up a website and managing server is security. Viruses may attack the server, which affect important records and hamper online transactions and activities.

With managed servers, there are no more worries because they are responsible for increasing the security of company websites. Depending on the agreement, packages for managed servers includes client support. Thus, there would be immediate reply to client's concern.
