Why You Must Choose Managed Hosting Over Self-managed Dedicated Hosting

It doesn't matter whether you are running a busy website

, or many different websites- it is important to choose the right dedicated server package, whether a managed server or unmanaged. The main difference is in cost, and the level of service.

Picture yourself hosting a few websites for a business. You have no idea about security, let alone what to do if something breaks. Will a self-managed dedicated server really do the job? In this situation you'll be responsible for managing the server and ensuring the websites hosted on it are always online. Unless you are a hosting guru, it's a good guess you won't have much experience with this.

Cost was the first consideration we had with unmanaged dedicated servers. A third party or your server host will be able to provide a managed hosting server. It certainly works out cheaper than paying someone full time to do this. Typically you can pay for a high level of knowledge and peace of mind for the fraction of the cost of a full time employee. Although if you have IT techs employed, they can probably do the job for you.

Choose managed hosting for real peace of mind. I cannot count the number of times with an unmanaged dedicated server, I have been woken up in the middle of the night. Whether it is a secure issue, a software update, or hardware having gone pop- the last thing you want this coming Christmas is sorting out an issue with your server on a Xmas day! With managed hosting, you know the company you are paying will not only monitor your server and services, they will also act should your websites go offline- whether its 3pm or 3am.

A managed setup lets you concentrate on more pressing matters. Let me tell you, keeping on top of security patches as well as dealing with software updates (which inevitably break things) is a complete pain). A managed server takes away this stress.

Any business can ill-afford downtime. It is absolutely inevitable that things will break. I can tell you from bitter experience, that a server will wait for the most inconvenient time to break. You lose sales and business when your services are offline. By paying a managed server host, you know any problem is going to get looked at quickly.

I'd always opt for a managed server, because I enjoy a peaceful life. If you are running a business, you will never grow unless you learn to delegate. Sit down, chill and let the experts look after your server requirements.
