The Basic Features of Managed Servers

The Basic Features of Managed Servers
2
Introduction

• The difference between a managed server and
  another dedicated hosting is that the service
  provider manages the hardware, operating system,
  and system software. Clients typically have
  administrative access, but they are rarely used,
  rather than interacting with the rental system
  through a web-based interface. Typically, the
  hosting provider is responsible for setting up
  and configuring software, technical support,
  patch management, system maintenance, monitoring
  and updates.
• Here are some basic features of managed servers
  that you can take note of when purchasing the
  best managed server hosting.

Initial Server Setup

• Your server will be set up/configured according
  to your requirements, including installing and
  configuring your chosen operating system (Windows
  / Nix) as well as specific roles and components
  (web server, mail server, database server, file
  server, DNS, etc.).

4
247 Monitoring of server

• It's important to ensure that your servers and
  critical services are monitored on a 24x7 basis
  so that you can keep track of problems before the
  end user notices. We use the PRTG monitoring
  system to monitor the health and access of each
  managed server on a 24 x 7 basis. If you have any
  questions, our 247 support team will be notified
  via email and IM so they can view the issue
  immediately.

5
Initial Server Hardening / security

• This is actually a key component and you need to
  make sure your server is protected and enhanced
  by experts. This usually includes operating
  system security patches, TCP/IP hardening,
  protecting your mail/database server to avoid
  spam and intrusions, disabling dangerous scripts,
  and more.

6
Disaster Recovery Plan

• Due to various internal and external factors,
  each server and setup is often prone to
  failure/crash at some point in its lifecycle.
  Using enterprise-class hardware and using
  redundancy as much as possible (for example, RAID
  for storage) helps minimize the impact to a large
  extent. However, it is important to develop an
  effective disaster recovery plan for recovery as
  soon as possible.

7
Managed Operating System Software Updates

• We know that various threat/security alerts are
  often released. To protect your server, it's
  important to keep your operating system and
  software in sync with the latest versions and
  updates. Your prospective managed hosting
  provider should treat this as part of the managed
  service.

8
Regular Server Security Audits

• After initially protecting the server (point 2),
  it is important to perform periodic audits of the
  server to resolve any new security alerts and/or
  view firewall settings, event logs, etc. to
  ensure that there are no vulnerabilities/intrusion
  s.

247 Available Expert Technical Support Team

• Every website/server owner wants to make sure
  their servers and websites are always running
  smoothly. If there are any issues, you need to
  make sure that you have easy and fast access to
  the technical support team, who can investigate
  your issue and help you ensure smooth operations.
  The technical support team should be efficient
  enough to diagnose the problem and fix it
  immediately. This is a very important factor in
  hosting services.
