Managed Server - Benefits of Using Managed Server

What is a Managed server?
A Managed server is a dedicated server for one high resource account that is actively managed by onthenetOFFICE. Instead of just having a server handed to you, onthenetOFFICE will take care of the setup, software installation, security monitoring, backups, and technical support that is needed to help you focus on growing your business.
Managed server eliminates the cost of:
• Installing software
• Server administration
• Back-up and storage of your data
• Installing security, e.g. firewall solutions
What is Unmanaged Server?
Unlike the servers where it is all managed for you, these unmanaged servers are completely under your control. If you have an issue with your server, you will have to troubleshoot. Support is required for computer failures and other network problems within the hosting centre. After all, you can connect to the server, but you do not ever physically see the server, so you are unable to troubleshoot hardware problem.
The purchaser's knowledge of server configuration and setup will determine if a managed or unmanaged server option is the best choice. Many dedicated hosting plans exist with different price points, but knowing if its managed dedicated server or an unmanaged dedicated server will assist you in determining if that price warrants the service being provided to you. As with all purchase made, the higher the cost directly relates to the value of the dedicated server purchased, but not always.
