Companies today are more reliant on the ability to transmit data to customers, employees and even other offices using online resources. With the ability to provide highly secure data storage and transfer, hard copy documents are largely a thing of the past for many businesses.
When storage, security and the ability to have the resources you need are an issue for your company, a managed dedicated server is the best option. With the use of this type of server, the hosting company will manage and maintain the physical server at their location. This has several benefits that are well worth considering.
No Equipment or Maintenance Costs
Buying a server, installing the server and creating a server room environment is a costly option for any business. Additionally, there will be continual maintenance required for the server and also the need to replace it at some point in the future.
By choosing a hosting service offering a managed dedicated server, the hosting company will do all the work. The top companies use a continual monitoring and diagnostic program on their servers, proactively responding to any potential issues that may impact server performance before the issue is ever noted by users. This decreases downtime and provides a seamless experience for anyone accessing your site.
Higher Security Levels
With a managed dedicated server, the hosting company runs the standard security for the server. You also have the option to include additional security, and the customer support can help with configuration and installation if required.
It is also important to keep in mind that these servers are only accessed by the account holder or those authorized by the account holder. This means no one else will have access to the server, eliminating the risk of a security breach through another website hosted on a shared server.
