What is a managed server?
Managed servers are for customers who prefer to have their web host provider maintain and monitor their dedicated servers, operating system and all supported applications. Companies or individuals who do not have the required system administration resources on-staff, commonly choose this option to augment their dedicated hosting service.

When do you need a managed server?
Managed servers are an excellent solution for mid to high level hosting needs. Designed to host busy e-commerce sites and dynamic, database driven web pages, managed servers offer small and large business owners a fast, powerful, reliable and professionally maintained web presence. If you have a need for a dedicated server, and don't have the IT resources, expertise, or time to manage your own servers, then a managed server is for you.
