Tell me about the Dedicated Hosting Managed Hosting Service




Managed Hosting is a dedicated server option that shifts the responsibility of set up, monitoring, maintenance, security, and patching of your dedicated server to our server support team. With managed hosting, custom support services are also available for an hourly rate. Managed Hosting dedicated servers remove your root/system-level access but allow control over all other aspects of your dedicated server.

With managed hosting you can save the time and energy it takes to setup, monitor and maintain your dedicated server by letting our expert staff do it for you! With our Managed Hosting Plan, our team of server professionals will personally set up your dedicated server to deliver maximum performance. Plus, they will also handle select monitoring and maintenance issues that would otherwise drain your time and resources.

Each Managed Hosting Plan Includes*:

Initial Server Setup:

  • Including installation of operating system and Cpanel/WHM control panel.
  • Setup for the following services:
    • Domain Name & DNS
