manager server

To host a website online, there are a lot of options available by the hosting providers on web. But do know that the hosting providers you choose do provide the managed or unmanaged solutions?

In this article we will discuss about the advantages and disadvantages of managed and unmanaged server and which one is suitable to host a website?

Unmanaged server is cheaper than the managed one, this is because the hosting provider will be responsible for only hardware, bandwidth and power supply. All other things such as installing software, technical issue, bugs need to be managed by the user and the hosting provider will not be responsible for these things.

A managed server is the only platform in which you don’t need to look in to anything such as server monitoring, security, functionality and other things. This is because, these all functions are available with the managed server hosting.

The managed server is more affordable to you in many reasons, for ex, if you  choose a unmanaged server and if you are not familiar with the server handling then you may need to hire some IT professional familiar to server monitoring. Unless you don’t hire a professional you won’t able to handle these things. So its best to select the managed server hosting, which will reduce your time things related to technical side.

Managed Hosting in India or at any other country will help you to have a good choice in making business. This is because you save your time in looking up at these issues and you can concentrate on your core business. If you face any type of trouble in server, you can easily contact the hosting provider through live chat or post a ticket and get your problem solved within sometime. As the companies hire the technical experts available for almost all the time to solve your issue.

But, if we look the difference of prices between both, the managed server cost more than the unmanaged one. But the features you get in managed are already installed which you get within one day and you can host your business website within a day.

Managed server is the entire solution to keep your website up without any bugs, as you can easily upgrade the things by requesting the hosting provider if you are in need.

By these ways, the managed server helps you to improve website business.

What Kind of Server Should You Get for Web Hosting?

Hosting Platform

In today’s world, promoting a website through internet has become one of the important marketing strategies to get success.

If you are a newbie and making a website, you may be know about Programming and Design part, but web hosting is also a major part, which you need to look in.

In this article, we will discuss about the three different types of web hosting platform: Shared, VPS and Dedicated and which one is suitable for your website.

Shared Hosting – This websites is one of the most common and popular platform. In this platform, hundred of sites are hosted in one server and a small part of space and resources is given to the customers. Space starts from 500MB more and you get some 10 Email id’s and limited bandwidth. The hosting provider monitors the software and security updates. This type of platform comes in cheap price which come less then 15$ per year. However, it is not suitable for business website as you may face downtime issues sometimes due to multiple sites hosted on same server.

However, it is suitable for blogs, small website and personal websites.

VPS Hosting – recently popular hosting platform and a most suitable one for medium base websites and blog. The concept of VPS is that the server is a process of dividing the hard disk of the server in such a way that the every partition will work separately. The each partition runs can be individual operating system and can be separately rebooted. VPS provides more disk space and bandwidth compared with shared hosting; this platform is suitable for websites, which has regular amount of traffic such as forums, application websites made by developers. In this hosting, the customer has total control and access over the server. It also comes in two ways, on is managed and another one is unmanaged. Managed is more expensive than unmanaged this is due to the server are totally managed by the company.

Dedicated Hosting – One of the top-level web hosting for large traffic websites. In this server a customer, get the whole resources dedicated to one website only. This type of hosting is for very high traffic websites and blogs that have more then 10,000 visitors per day. This type of server is fully managed and there will be no downtime issues such as shared hosting. However, the prices will be much high compared with shared and VPS.

Therefore, if you are hosting your website you can choose anyone of the above hosting platform, which suits your requirements.

Advantages of Dedicated Servers

Dedicated Server Hosting

If you are running a business website on web and getting a good returns from it, but do you know is your website is safely hosted? If you have chosen a hosting platform such as shared or VPS hosting, it is not that your website is totally secured. It is because these servers are shared between the customers and the resources are shared between them.

So, if you are looking for total security and dedicated hardware resources for your website, you should hire a dedicated server for your website which is the entire solution for security, space and other things.

Now, we will look at some of the advantages of the dedicated server -

Excellent Performance

In this server, your hardware resources are not shared such as power supply, space, ram and bandwidth.

Better Consistency

You don’t need to worry about the downtime issues in dedicated server; the reason is there will be only one website hosted in the server you hire. So no other websites will be hosted expect yours.

High Security

This server is totally secured and no other person can access the server without your permission. So, your website is totally secured. You server is also monitored by hosting provider 24×7.

Software Installation

You can install the software which your website need; this features not allowed in shared or other platforms.

You get Dedicated IP address

In shared hosting, you get a shared IP address which can be risky for business. If one of the customer in shared server does some spam activity, the IP address gets blacklisted and your website too can be banned by search engines. But, in dedicated serer you get your own IP which will be an additional beneficial for you to run your business hassle free.

Upgrade Configuration

In dedicated server you get more memory, space, bandwidth and you can still upgrade the resources if you are in need.

If you think that you are earning a good amount of money through website, you should hire a dedicated server and easily concentrate on your core business instead of monitoring a server.

VPS OR Dedicated Server Image

Web Hosting has many different platforms such as Shared, VPS and dedicated hosting.

In, this article we will discuss, what is the difference between the VPS and dedicated server and which one is suitable to host a website.

Virtual Private Servers

A VPS Server is part of a single server where one account is dedicated to only one customer. It is considered as the best hosting platform for small and medium base website business. In VPS Server, you can host multiple websites same as shared server, but here you get dedicated space, ram which is not shared and you data will be much safer.

And, if we compare VPS hosting with dedicated server, VPS is the cost effective hosting solution. It is because medium base companies require cost effective hosting solutions with reliable uptime guaranty, and VPS can provide you such good performance, and also you can install the application which you are in need. This will help you to perform in a better way also you can configure the server according to your requirements.

Dedicated Servers

Dedicated Server is something very different from other hosting platforms. Mostly suitable for large base business websites. And it also comes at higher cost but gives you the best security, functionality and almost 99.99% uptime guaranty. As your website not go down at any cost, so you don’t need to worry about the downtime issues such as shared or VPS server. Even VPS provides you the good performance, but sometimes it can be possible due to some technical issues your site may go down. But in dedicated the whole server is dedicated to one customer and he has full root access to install any type of application which he required for his website.

Also you can select the operating system which you are in need also you get total support from the web hosting company which you choose. As almost all the hosting company provides 100% support to the customers of dedicated server.

So, you don’t need to worry about the support, uptime guaranty and server monitoring and you can easily concentrate on your core business if you choose the dedicated server.

As, we discussed above things, if you are planning to start a website business online or developing your business, dedicated server can be the best choice as you don’t need to look up at anything related to technical  and build up your business more better.
