Managed Dedicated Servers

managed dedicated servers

If you have lots of requirements for your web site and do not have the time or capabilities to manage a server yourself a dedicated managed server may well be right for you. A managed dedicated server gives you all the advantages of a dedicated server with the benefit that experienced, knowledgeable staff will be looking after your server on your behalf.

Managed hosting is a specialised market dominated by large companies such as Rackspace and Pair, with a wide range of prices that depend on how much security, reliability, and the level of support you require. Most companies will be able to offer extra paid services, such as regular backups, detailed monitoring, firewalls and managed email.

When choosing a managed dedicated server provider we recommend that you either get referred to the provider from a trusted colleague or do a lot of research on the various companies online. Whatever you do, do not rush into a long term contract without knowing a fair amount about the service provider.
