I am trying to get a dedicated server because some of my websites reached the critical point that they are not been able to cope with shared webhosting. I am going to blog about my search for good dedicated server.
First point I learnt is that there are two categories – managed dedicated servers, unmanaged dedicated servers.
I have noted some important difference between managed and unmanaged dedicated servers from this website and a discussion points here.
There are typically two categories of dedicated servers: managed and unmanaged. Managed servers are usually operated by the Web host, while the client provides the Web site data. In these cases, a good host will fully monitor the server and have technicians standing by in case of difficulty. An unmanaged server is operated and maintained by the client; the Web host provides the storage space, physical security, and bandwidth. However, often a Web host will have a consultant available to assist clients operating an unmanaged server – this is usually provided at a nominal fee.
