Round Tale

Ann Arbor, Michigan – (The Hosting News) – September 1, 2009 – Web hosting service provider and Magento hosting solutions company, NEXCESS.NET LLC, will be expanding its Magento Secure Isolated Platform (SIP) e-commerce web hosting plans.

The original SIP plans, launched in May 2009, are a tightly integrated combination of the popular Magento e-commerce software, combined with optimized high-end hardware and software to guarantee speed, reliability and security.

Chris Wells, CEO of Nexcess noted, ”The SIP plans have really taken off. They’re popular with both small and large clients, including Fortune 500 companies which we’ve signed deals with in the last few weeks. Even the official Magento demo stores have been moved to SIPs.”

The new reseller plan will allow interested customers to resell Magento SIP plans. Mr. Wells added, ”We’ve been offering shared hosting reseller plans for years now, and these are essentially the same blueprint, except with the Magento SIP architecture.”

Each SIP reseller plan provides the reseller with five separate SIPs (approximately the same as a SIP100) at a discounted price. The reseller can then offer these SIP plans to their own clients.

Mr. Wells continued, ”Regular reseller plans are often a popular way for individuals or small companies to offer their own web hosting services to their clients. Perhaps they’re a web design business that wants to be able to offer their clients web hosting as well. We expect that SIPs will appeal to a very similar kind of customer, someone who wants to be able to offer their clients a professionally hosted, extremely secure and stable e-commerce platform.”

Final details of the new SIP reseller plan are available on the website. Nexcess plans to begin offering a standardized SIP plan based around the Magento Enterprise platform within the next month. Full details of all the Magento SIP plans are available on the NEXCESS.NET site.

NEXCESS.NET is an Ann Arbor, Mich. based company specializing in web hosting solutions, offering a range of services from shared hosting to multi-server configurations. NEXCESS.NET provides custom hosting solutions for traffic heavy and high profile websites of all genres. NEXCESS.NET owns and operates its own private data center in Dearborn, Mich. and currently services thousands of clients worldwide.

More small and medium sized companies are thriving due to the benefits of managed hosting.   However, with the popularity has come various myths about this service that have done nothing but confuse interested customers.  To keep you in line with the facts, this article will debunk five of the most common misconceptions about managed hosting.

1.) Managed Hosting is a Completely Outsourced Solution

The way some describe it, managed hosting is a type of service that completely alleviates you from server administration and daily management tasks, a fully outsourced service that does not require you to lift a finger.  In most cases, this isn’t true.  While you typically get far more automated assistance than offered by a dedicated hosting provider, the level of managed services all depends on the price, package and host you select.  Even when signing on for a fully managed contact, you will still be responsible for design, promotion and the basic administration of your site.

2.) Only Inexperienced Users Need Managed Services

Many have the misconception that managed hosting is strictly designed for businesses and individuals who lack the abilities needed to maintain a web server.  This comes from the fact that managing a dedicated server requires a certain level of technical skills, which is the reason that several choose to outsource these tasks to another company.  Be that as it may, managed hosting can benefit all types of customers, even those who are well versed in administration and know their way around a web server.

3.) Managed Hosting is More Reliable

Almost all companies will promise you a respectable uptime and reliable service.  The same holds true for managed hosting providers.  Although you have your own server, there are still many incidents that could possibly result in service interruptions and downtime.  The reliability you get from a managed hosting solution all depends on the company you choose.  If they have taken the time to build a stable infrastructure with redundant systems, downtime should be a very rare occurrence.

4.) Managed Hosting is More Secure

One of the biggest misconceptions you can fall into is automatically assuming that a managed hosting provider will keep your server secure.  Most companies take the necessary steps to detect and prevent common threats such as malware, intrusion, DDoS attacks and other exploits.  What you should know is that no server or web hosting system is ever 100% protected.  Different strains of malicious software are released on a frequent basis and hackers grow more sophisticated everyday.  This is why it is so important for both you and your managed hosting provider to make security a priority.

5.) Managed Hosting is Cost Prohibitive

In general, managed hosting is more expensive that your typical dedicated server plan.  However, it can also result in tremendous cost savings for your business.  These savings are obtained by the fact that you don’t have to make any costly upfront investment on hardware, software or infrastructure.  You can also spare yourself from having to hire a professional IT team.  At the very least, you can keep staffing expenses to a minimum.  Over the long run, managed hosting can be far more cost effective than leasing a dedicated server.
