& Dedicated Servers

A managed server means the host is responsible for maintaining all the server operations, such as system updates, additional software updates, and other server-level and configuration tasks. As a user, you will completely entrust the provider to managing the server, such as RedSwitches.

Managed cloud servers are a popular choice today for many reasons, such as: 

1. Easy disaster recovery
2. Improved system reliability
3. Enhanced scalability
4. Confident data security 
5. Established technical expertise that makes it easier to get the job done right
6. Simpler building of custom solutions
7. Faster support and deployment
8. Better customization options based on budget

There is no fixed answer to how much a managed server can cost since multiple factors decide the final cost. However, you can get a managed server as low as €35 at RedSwitches. Our managed servers can be easily customized and scaled based on your business needs and goals.

As mentioned above, managed servers are basically servers that have some or all administrative tasks handled by the hosting provider, aka your server company. Many businesses today use managed servers over self-managed servers since it helps save time, offers improved security, removes the hassle of software management, and offers easy scalability.

Managed servers and cloud servers are two distinct services in web hosting and IT infrastructure. Managed servers are typically physical or virtual machines leased by a client and maintained by a hosting company or managed service provider. The provider is responsible for server management, including hardware and software maintenance, security updates, and other necessary services to ensure the server runs smoothly. Managed servers come with a fixed monthly or annual cost, regardless of server resource usage.

Cloud servers are virtual machines that run in a cloud environment. They are part of a larger infrastructure for on-demand provisioning, scaling, and flexibility. Rather than being tied to a physical piece of hardware, cloud servers can be moved, replicated, or scaled across multiple underlying physical machines. Cloud server’s pricing is usually based on the resources you use. This can be beneficial for businesses with fluctuating demands.

While both options have merits, the best choice often depends on a business’s specific needs and preferences. Some companies may prefer the predictability and simplicity of managed servers, while others may prioritize the scalability and flexibility offered by cloud servers.

Cloud servers can be deployed almost instantly. This means the host will immediately start creating the server on the cloud infrastructure when you provide your preferred OS. 

Most RedSwicthes’ managed cloud servers are ready to provision and only require OS reinstallation and configuration. This takes up to 2 hours. However, in the case of customized configuration, it may take up to 2 working days.

As the name suggests, users cannot get root access since it is a “managed cloud server. The hosting provider manages all server-related tasks.
