Managed Website Hosting

Fully Managed Web Hosting

Web hosting is one of the most important, yet often overlooked, aspects of a successful website. Web servers run databases, host email, perform DNS resolution and much more. Without a web server specifically configured to run the files that make up a website, users have no way of accessing and interacting with it.

A secure web server is less likely to be hacked, suffer from performance issues, or experience extended downtime. All of these issues can affect the websites on the server and lead to lower search engine rankings, lost revenue, and even legal issues (in the case of compromised e-commerce websites.)

With Ten9 IT Services Managed web hosting, our website hosting clients can rest easy knowing that our dedicated servers are fully under our control; the only websites we host are those that we maintain. All security and software updates, including WordPress updates, are closely monitored by our team of website hosting experts; ensuring our clients’ websites run efficiently with as little downtime as possible.

Dedicated vs. Shared Website Hosting: What’s the Difference?

Dedicated Web Hosting

Dedicated website hosting means one company controls an entire server. In our case, we rent dedicated servers from our trusted hosting provider and manage everything ourselves. We decide which websites are hosted on the servers, the software updates and security patches to install, and the timetable in which we do so. Our clients are not at the mercy of a hosting provider who randomly assigns their website to a server; we look at metrics such as potential traffic, database usage, and security requirements before we place a website on one of our dedicated servers, and place the website on the server that will best meet the sites’ needs.

Shared Web Hosting

Shared web hosting is a choice for many small blogs or people with limited budgets. The cost of shared hosting is much less than the cost of managed web hosting because hosting providers cram as many websites onto each server as they possibly can, in order to maximize their bottom line.

  Dedicated Server Shared Server
Security Dedicated:
Only hosting accounts specifically managed by Ten9 IT Services are allowed on the server. Our rigorous update schedule and security practices means the likelihood of a compromised server is much lower compared to shared hosting.
Shared:
Your website will likely reside on a shared server with hundreds of random websites that you have absolutely no control over. One insecure website on your shared server can affect your website in negative ways, including poor performance or hacking, which can negatively affect your SEO.
Performance Dedicated:
Our servers have more than enough resources for all of our clients’ websites. We continuously monitor resource use to ensure performance is within acceptable ranges.
Shared:
Shared servers have a limited set of resources; the more websites that are hosted on a server, the fewer dedicated resources each website has. As more and more websites are crammed on a shared server, it is likely your website will load slower, which can also affect SEO by causing lower rankings.
Updates Dedicated:
Because we control every website on our servers we’re able to deploy software updates in a timely manner and ensure all of our clients’ websites will continue to work once they’re installed.
Shared:
Shared web servers are sometimes slow to be updated, which can lead to potential security issues. With many websites on a single server, hosting companies provide an extended period for websites to become compatible with a new version of software before updating the server.
