Round Tale

Managed web hosting is the perfect web hosting solution for novice users, as it lets them enjoy the benefits of a web hosting account without having to deal with the administrative tasks that are commonly associated with maintaining your own web hosting account.

Why Are There Different Types of Managed Web Hosting?

There are various types of managed web hosting plans available, all of which give the end user a certain degree of control. For the highly inexperienced user on a lower budget, there are completely managed plans that involve little to no administrative work. Depending on the package, the amount of work that needs to be done by the end user will vary greatly. For the users that demand the least amount of work, there is fully managed hosting, while other more experienced webmasters may opt for partially managed web hosting.

Fully Managed Web Hosting

Fully managed web hosting may sound as if it web hosting on autopilot, however this is often not the case. Therefore it is important to make sure you know what you are paying for before deciding on a particular plan. In general, fully managed web hosting is the easiest type of web hosting you could purchase. Users usually need only to specify their needs and make whatever adjustments they see fit, and the server is autoconfigured to take care of the rest for them. As mentioned before, this is most definitely the most beneficial form of web hosting for novice users.

Partially Managed Web Hosting

Partially managed web hosting is a bit different than fully managed web hosting, as the end user will need to perform more administrative functions to keep their website performing optimally. While this may sound as if it is a disadvantage to fully managed web hosting, ultimately the user has more control over the server with this kind of web hosting. While inexperienced users may not want the burden of control, more capable webmasters will find it absolutely necessary to possess full or at least partial control over their web server.

Control vs. Convenience – Which is Right for You?

If you can’t decide which kind of managed web hosting would be right for you, you may want to use this simple  comparison to decide – control vs. convenience. If you need as more control then you may want to consider partially managed web hosting. However if you are looking for the simplest web hosting plan available, then you will undoubtedly benefit from fully managed web hosting. If you are going to purchase a fully managed web hosting plan then you should make sure you are paying for a fully automated service. Likewise, if you decide upon a partially managed web hosting solution, you should make sure you fully understand what aspects of your web server you’ll be able to control.

Regardless of the decision you make, be sure it is an informed decision that you will not regret after the fact. Making the right decision the first time around will save you a lot of time, money and frustration.

(The Hosting News) -  McLean, Va. – ServInt, a pioneering provider of managed web hosting for businesses worldwide, celebrates its 15th anniversary this month. Since its founding in 1995 as one of the world’s original providers of enterprise managed hosting, ServInt has achieved 15 years of growth as a company. During that period, thousands of web-hosting providers have come and gone.

ServInt Founder and Chief Executive Officer Reed Caldwell said ServInt has built a loyal, global customer base by continually introducing innovative, scalable hosting solutions to solve the most complex technological challenges of web-based businesses. Those innovations include industry-leading Virtual Private Server (VPS) and Managed Dedicated Server solutions.

“We’ve been able to prosper for 15 years, which is much longer than most companies in our industry,” Caldwell said. “We have established our impressive track record by maintaining consistently high levels of customer satisfaction. We earn customer loyalty by addressing evolving client needs, and by providing personal support from a Managed Services Team of experienced professionals.”

ServInt’s Commitment to Climate-Positive Hosting

ServInt’s focus on innovation, longevity and sustainability is also reflected in its ongoing commitment to climate-positive hosting. Since 2008, ServInt’s Green Initiative has deployed multiple green methodologies to help customers operate with minimal environmental impact.

Through use of its efficient virtualization and cloud technologies – integrated with Parallels Virtuozzo Containers – ServInt’s hosting solutions feature optimally low per-capita energy consumption. ServInt solutions achieve this industry-leading energy efficiency while making exclusive use of Dell low-wattage server hardware, which provides high-performance while operating with a much smaller carbon footprint.

A recent Parallels study noted that ServInt’s virtualized servers require only 15 percent of the power footprint of a traditional server farm that is not optimized with virtualization and low-wattage technologies.

By implementing efficient technologies and participating in a large-scale reforestation campaign operated by American Forests, ServInt has offset the total carbon footprint of its entire line of VPS hosting solutions by at least 110 percent in each of the past two years. In 2010, ServInt is increasing its commitment to environmental sustainability by offsetting the carbon footprint of its standard product line, as well as its entire cloud infrastructure.

ServInt Chief Operating Officer Christian Dawson said, “The successful ongoing implementation of our Green Initiative has resulted in greater company-wide energy efficiency. By expanding this commitment, and exploring new ways to decrease waste and increase efficiency, we will continue to help our customers operate with minimal environmental impact.”

(The Hosting News) – HostDime announced today its new Enkompass hosting packages for Windows 2008 servers. The new Enkompass Windows hosting control panel provides a similar look and feel as cPanel’s existing Linux hosting control panel, making it easier for customers to migrate to the new platform.
 
“cPanel has been working on this release for over 3+ years and we are proud to be the first managed web hosting company to launch Windows 2008 hosting plans with Enkompass and welcome new customers to host with us,” said Manny Vivar, CEO of HostDime. “We are always looking for ways to offer innovative tools and technologies to our customers. New and existing customers will appreciate our attention to implementing the latest technologies to help them succeed online.”
 
HostDime is one of cPanel’s largest customers in terms of volume licensing and has been working closely with the cPanel team to develop features and functionality customers can use in a Windows hosting environment. Customers familiar with cPanel will be able to quickly start using the Enkompass Windows hosting control panel as the interface looks almost identical to the Linux version cPanel. 
 
“Many existing Linux Hosting clients have expressed interest in offering Windows hosting for their use and to their clients. However, they have always been hesitant about
pursuing Windows hosting since they were not familiar with pre-existing Windows based control panels,” said Vivar. “With their familiarity of cPanel, customers can easily move to HostDime’s Windows hosting services without having to learn a new interface.”
 
cPanel’s new control panel Enkompass is designed specifically for Windows server 2008 and utilizes Microsoft IIS7. With Enkompass Windows hosting control panel, customers can run multiple technologies on the same box. Multiple technologies include ASP, .NET, PHP, PERL, FLASH, MSSQL, and Silverlight. Customers no longer have to run multiple boxes to support all the technologies and programming languages they use every day.
 
“Customers will be able to utilize more programming languages than previously offered – all through the new Enkompass control panel,” said Vivar. “Web developers want the ability to utilize all programming languages on one hosting platform that supports all the latest technologies. HostDime offers that support with our new Enkompass Windows web hosting services.”
 
HostDime is offering free cPanel Enkompass trial accounts until January 1, 2010. New and existing HostDime customers are encouraged to sign up to experience the latest in Windows hosting control panel software and test the various programming languages supported by Windows 2008. Customers can learn more about HostDime’s Enkompass hosting or sign up for a free trial at http://www.hostdime.com/enkompass/.
