Managed VPS For Hosting

Managed hosting makes it easier on the small business to have a platform that can host one or multiple websites, without having to worry about security, patches, firewall, SPAM, antivirus, malware or configurations settings.

The Typical Model

The typical model is for a business owner to hire a webhosting company to host their website. This is usually for a website that was developed by another agency, or by a developer but the business wishes to host on their own site.

There are few issues with this model that in most cases are counterproductive and end up costing more. There are three types of hosting. Shared, VPS (Virtual Private Server), and Dedicated. Shared hosting is where multiple sites live, and the configuration of the server is limited due to other sites that will be affected by custom configurations. The VPS hosting is far more flexible as it is treated as a standalone server and custom configurations are possible, although performance and uptime can still be affected by the host server once the system is installed. The third option is really for better control on resources and hardware.

Most small businesses that hire a company for their hosting they do not look into the details of what is included or at times the details are not clear. One of the many issues is that the management of those servers is up to you for the particular site or sites. Keeping up with the server security on a shared environment is almost impossible since more often the access is restricted.

On the other hand, the VPS will give you access to the server, but you will have to be knowledgeable to manage SSL certificates, user accounts, FTP/SFT analytics, security patches, firewalls, activity logs, and other similar functions. For most businesses this is a counterproductive model as often the inhouse expertise is lacking and budget to deal with issues as the arise can be costly.
