Managed Hosting

We keep your brand safe, secure and always available.

What is included?
  • Server setup and maintenance: The provider builds and maintains the infrastructure, handling all the “heavy lifting”.
  • Security: This includes firewalls, malware scanning, and 24/7 security monitoring to protect against threats.
  • Updates: The host performs necessary software and hardware updates to keep the system secure and up-to-date.
  • Backups and disaster recovery: Providers typically offer automated backups and have disaster recovery plans in place to minimize data loss and downtime.
  • Performance optimization: The hosting team works to ensure the website runs smoothly, reliably, and quickly, often using high-performance hardware and optimized configurations.
  • Technical support: You get access to a team of experts who can provide 24/7 support and quickly address any issues. 
Key benefits
  • Focus on your business: By offloading technical management, you can concentrate on growing your business instead of managing servers.
  • Expertise: You gain access to a dedicated team of experts who are responsible for the server’s performance and security.
  • Improved reliability and security: Managed hosting often leads to better uptime and a more robust security posture compared to self-managed options like shared or VPS hosting.
  • Cost efficiency: Predictable monthly fees can help manage IT budgets, especially when compared to hiring in-house IT staff. 
Who is it for?
Managed hosting is an ideal solution for businesses of all sizes that want to avoid the complexities of server management. It is particularly beneficial for those who want to focus their resources on their core competencies and benefit from the expertise of a hosting provider.
