Managed Dedicated Hosting

With managed hosting, everything is done for you, leaving you free to simply concentrate on running your business.

Depending on your circumstances, a fully managed dedicated hosting service may even work out to be cheaper in the long run, bearing in mind the time and expense involved in doing server maintenance yourself.

A special note here concerning managed hosting. There is a subtle difference between the 'types' of managed hosting services available, which is often not clearly explained on the hosts website - you need to establish if your host offers a 'proactive' or 'reactive' service.

With a proactive service, the host will stay on top of all security updates and maintenance WITHOUT BEING ASKED BY YOU - with a reactive service, they take care of any problems that arise, but YOU NEED TO TELL THEM. So if, like most people, you need a fully managed 'proactive' service, make sure that is what you are getting.
