So, you've decided to go with a dedicated server! Great Choice! Then you see "management" and now you're thinking, am I ordering full management? Don't panic, it's not as difficult as it seems. Once you understand it, approving to order full management is a simple task.
With a full management, the company does things like:
• Update all of your software on a regular basis
• Check and monitor your server
• Make backups
• Securing your server
• Providing you with 24/7 support
Sounds good, right?
• How fast is their support?
• Do they have backup, or security scans?
• What do customer reviews say?
• Self-managed – You manage everything yourself
• Semi-managed – They manage some things for you
• Fully managed – They manage everything for you.
Click the fully managed option, yes it’s more money, but saves you time and stress.
• Do they do daily backups?
• Do they update the operating system?
• Do they provide DDoS protection?
It's best to ask now than regret later.
So, why not just click the fully managed option, and do nothing while the professionals will do all the work for you?
What is "Full Management”
Full management means that your host provider will take care of your server for you. With full management you will not have to do things like updates, securing, or fixing problems. Think of it as a mechanic for your vehicle. It is always ready to help you.With a full management, the company does things like:
• Update all of your software on a regular basis
• Check and monitor your server
• Make backups
• Securing your server
• Providing you with 24/7 support
Sounds good, right?
Step 1: Consider the Right Hosting Company
Not all companies are created equal. Some are” “fully managed” but don’t do hardly anything at all. Before you buy consider:• How fast is their support?
• Do they have backup, or security scans?
• What do customer reviews say?
Step 2: Pick the Full Management Selection
When you buy, look for options such as:• Self-managed – You manage everything yourself
• Semi-managed – They manage some things for you
• Fully managed – They manage everything for you.
Click the fully managed option, yes it’s more money, but saves you time and stress.
Step 3: Confirm What’s Included
Before paying, I would ask the company the following questions:• Do they do daily backups?
• Do they update the operating system?
• Do they provide DDoS protection?
It's best to ask now than regret later.
Step 4: Place Your Order
Once you have confirmed, you will need to place the order. The company will provision your server, secure it, then they will allow you access. Once you have access you can concentrate on your website (or business) and set aside any server issues.Final Thoughts
Getting full management for your dedicated server is very easy and incredibly useful. You don't need to be a tech god, or have to lose sleep at night trying to fix problems! Personally, I like full management because it gives me peace of mind.So, why not just click the fully managed option, and do nothing while the professionals will do all the work for you?
