Milwaukee Colo Dedicated Server Overview

Dedicated servers make a fine option for those who have outgrown the traditional shared hosting environment. They provide more resources, more control, and more importantly, better security. There are essentially two types of dedicated servers: unmanaged and managed. Understanding the differences can go a long way in determining which is right for your hosting needs.

WHAT IS AN UNMANAGED DEDICATED SERVER?

This variety is essentially a dedicated server in its purest form. In this arrangement, you lease the equipment from a service provider, which gets you internet bandwidth, the actual hardware, and all its resources. Although you are in complete control, this type of solution calls for you to have administrative skills, as you are essentially on your own when in it comes to maintaining the server. If you lack technical abilities or do not have a dedicated administrator, keeping up with an unmanaged dedicated server could be very difficult, if not impossible.

WHAT IS A MANAGED SERVER?

A managed dedicated server is quite similar to its unmanaged counterpart, yet different at the same time. For example, you lease the equipment from a service provider, which gets you internet bandwidth, the hardware and all its resources. The major difference is that you receive a variety of managed services, which generally include server administration and other options depending on the package. This makes a managed dedicated server ideal for those who are not well versed in server administration or simply would prefer to focus on the core objectives of their business.
