What is Managed Hosting?

If maximum reliability, performance and cost optimisation are important, Managed Hosting is the best choice. An infrastructure that is tailored to your individual requirements is ideal for high-load websites and business-critical applications.

As described in detail in the whitepaper "Why use external solutions?", outsourced Managed Hosting solutions offer various advantages as compared to running your own data center. A setup that is hosted and managed by a Managed Hosting provider offers you 24/7 access to the provider's service and support.

Managed Hosting solutions are always tailored to the customer. They typically include several dedicated servers, as well as supplementary components and services: load balancing, switches, firewalls, monitoring, backup and patch management.

Why managed hosting from PlusServer?

As market-leading managed hosting providers, we take on operation of your IT infrastructure and offer you the full range of individual solutions that are tailored to your needs.

In PlusServer, your company has chosen the right Managed Hosting partner when it comes to the operation of your complex server infrastructure. A powerful and fail-safe service architecture requires perfection when it comes to planning and implementation.

This is why we work closely with our clients in every phase of the project. We develop a specific setup for each project, implement it and look after it in subsequent operation. The focus is always placed on finding the best possible solution for your company in terms of performance, availability and compatibility.

A setup that is hosted and managed by a managed hosting provider allows you to fall back on the provider’s service and support 24/7.

Less downtime thanks to managed hosting

In addition to multiple redundant infrastructures, we also offer supplementary business continuity and disaster recovery solutions. So you benefit from more uptime for your online services.

You can easily simulate how much downtime would actually cost you by using our downtime calculator.
