Managed Dedicated Server Hosting

It stands to reason that dedicated server management takes time and effort. This job requires knowledgeable and well-trained people - not everybody can do it. Hiring proficient admins full-time may be a great burden on a small company. But on the other hand, if your corporate website is a critically important part of your business, keeping it up 24 hours a day, 7 days a week is a must.

What is more, nowadays lots of businesses are entirely web-based, i.e. almost all their assets are online. Their profits directly depend on how their web resources work, whether they are available 100% of the time, how quick their web pages load and respond, etc. Every time the site is down, such a firm suffers severe loss. Needless to say, a company of this kind definitely needs a dedicated server. Managed hosting comeы in handy if this business not only needs a guaranteed volume of resources, but also wants to relieve itself from time-consuming routine tasks. In other words, fully managed dedicated server hosting is a service for the customers who simply can’t afford downtime.

When it comes to settling on an optimal operating system, HOSTKEY offers twenty of them to choose from. The choice depends mostly on the software you are going to run. Also, cost of the appropriate licenses may matter as well.

You surely need a managed Windows server if many of the apps you’re using on a daily basis run under this OS. For example, RDP - remote desktop protocol – is a Windows-only protocol, developed by Microsoft. Although most licenses for OS Windows are far from cheap, it remains very popular for a number of reasons.

A managed Linux server has certain advantages of its own. The operating system is free, although you need a competent system administrator to maintain it. For most web services, e.g. instant messengers, Linux is preferable.
