Questions To Ask With Managed Dedicated Hosting

When you choose managed dedicated hosting for your website

, youve chosen to run your website from a server thats fully available and accessible to you; and that you can essentially forget about. With a managed server the web host will take care of everything pertaining to the server for you, so you can be free to run your business or do whatever else you have to do. But before you can realize the benefits managed dedicated hosting can bring, you need to know youre getting the best service. And to make sure of that, you need to make sure you ask the right questions. These are listed below.

What types of computers do you use for your servers?

Sometimes brand names are just a way for a company to make big bucks off of consumers for a product thats exactly like another, more affordable product, on the shelves. This is not the case with web hosting servers. With these highly technical computers you really do get what you pay for and you want to make sure your host is using brand names. IBM, HP, Dell, and Sun Microsystems are a few good names to listen for.

What type of Internet connection do you use?

Remember the days when everyone still connected to the Internet through a dialup connection? See how everyone laughs at the mere thought of it now? The type of Internet connection thats used for your server will directly affect how fast your website downloads onto visitors computers. And this will directly affect how many people visit your site, and how often they return.

What are your days and hours of operation for customer service?

With a managed dedicated server, the most important feature youll choose when you pick your web host is the level of customer service theyll provide. If there is a problem with your server, there will be a problem with your website. And you dont have time to wait for someone to saunter into the office to fix it. Make sure theyre available whenever you need them, and youre well on your way to finding a great managed dedicated host!

If my website crashes, how long will it take to get back up?

As soon as possible, is what youre listening for on this one. But anyone can say that, make sure they mean it. Ask what measures are taken to get the site back up and running, and to make sure that the crash doesnt happen again.

How often do you backup my data?

Any good web host will have backup services in place, and its this backup that will save you should your site ever crash. Because of this, you need to make sure that the data is being backed up as often as possible at least a couple of times a day, if not every half hour or so.

Youre going to have an entire list of your own to ask your managed dedicated web host. Use these ones to get you brainstorming and make sure that all your questions have been answered when it comes time to sign with that host.
