This decision depends on the technical aspects of your business, the amount of traffic to your website, the complexity of your business and the staff you have. Dedicated&nbsp;servers do offer some tech support, not leaving you completely on your own. Simply put, it&nbsp;means you are responsible for majority of the aspects of maintaining the server, from installing upgrades and patches and ensuring server uptime but will be provided with some support. &nbsp;Managed dedicated servers mean your host will ensure all the technicalities and make sure everything is running smoothly.&nbsp;Here we list&nbsp;out what the two services with ResellerClub entails so you can make an informed decision:<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Services with ResellerClub<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Set-up<\/strong>: Both managed dedicated and dedicated server services provide server deployment, WHMCS installation, installation of cPanel and core software packages.<\/p>\n<p>Managed dedicated servers also include installation of popular CMSes, firewall installation and configuration and add-on setup and configuration.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Security<\/strong>: Managed dedicated and dedicated&nbsp;services offer upgrades for cPanel, upgrades for OS and for core software packages.<\/p>\n<p>Managed servers also offer timely security audits, OS hardening, counter spamming, on-request anti-virus and malware scans and regular security enhancements.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Maintenance &amp; Repair<\/strong>: Managed dedicated and dedicated servers both offer repair and maintenance services related to server boot, network, hardware, cPanel installation, core OS updates &amp; patches and reverse DNS set-up.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, managed dedicated servers offer repair of all supported software, full web server support including Apache, on-request updates of supported software, full control panel software and log file analysis.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Monitoring<\/strong>: This is a service solely available through Managed dedicated servers. This includes up-time monitoring, all services monitoring (HTTP, FTP, cPanel, Plesk), advanced protocol monitoring (HTTP, HTTPS, FTP etc.) and critical resources monitoring.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Other Services<\/strong>: Managed dedicated servers services also include setting up scheduled backups over SAN or another server, advanced migration services of unlimited accounts and size, MySQL optimization and protection from spam.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Which should you choose? <\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;re wondering which of the two to opt for, answer these few questions and you will arrive at a suitable conclusion:<\/p>\n<p>1) Do you have a team of professionals handling the tech aspect of your business?<\/p>\n<p>2) If not, do you wish to handover this part so you can focus entirely on your business while Resellerclub takes care of the messy bits efficiently?<\/p>\n<p>3) Or do you prefer to manage everything within your business including the technical aspects by yourself?<\/p>\n<p>4) Are you willing to spend extra money on a premium service for your business?
