What is Managed VPS Hosting?

Managed VPS hosting is a service where your website hosting provider will manage all the server related tasks for you. Generally, businesses move to the VPS when they have outgrown the shared hosting i.e. the traffic to their website is increasing. You must focus on stabilizing your business and make sure that the flow of visitors does not slow down.

VPS hosting gives the client the administrative control over their server to customize it in any manner they find suitable to their business. They can install any software applications. This makes it necessary for the clients to have the know-how to configure and manage the server and the applications. It means they must recruit technically qualified professionals building up their monthly expenditure.

Managed VPS hosting comes as a viable option. By paying a slightly higher plan cost, a non-IT related business can avoid the recurring monthly expenditure of employing professionals. If you do have the staff, managed hosting will lessen the burden of server tasks and allow them to work on business-related applications.

In managed VPS hosting, the service providers will take complete responsibility for server tasks. They will install the server. You have a choice of operating systems between Linux VPS and Windows VPS. In case, after launching, you wish to change the OS, your host will reinstall the server. They will maintain and monitor the hardware, install software applications of your choice and will provide updates. The host also is responsible for security- data backup, antivirus scans and protection against every type of online threats.
