Apart from having more resources, a good reason why you may get your own web server and use it instead of a shared website hosting plan is the fact that you'll be able to install and run a wide selection of software. With a shared account, you could use programs, which do not require root access and are not set up server-side, so when you need specific software for your Internet sites, you cannot set it up on a shared hosting server. This is not so with a hosting server of your own in which you'll be able to install anything you would like. The downside is that you may not have much experience and managing your own server is more challenging that managing a shared web hosting account where the service provider handles the majority of things. This is the reason why we offer an additional service for our server plans called Installation & Troubleshooting and you may take full advantage of it any time you face any issues with the administration of your server.
Installation and Troubleshooting in VPS Hosting
The upgrade can be ordered for any one of the virtual private server plans regardless of the Operating System and Control Panel you have selected or the task that you need to be executed as our admins will aid you with everything relevant to the software on the server. This includes, but isn't limited to, installing third-party software, setting up hosting server options, troubleshooting scripts if they don't perform adequately, and so on. The upgrade provides sixty minutes of work and if a particular task requires less time, the remaining minutes shall be available for the future and shall be listed inside the virtual private server billing CP. You can use the Installation & Troubleshooting service either as a standalone upgrade or as an addition to the Managed Services upgrade, which offers thirty minutes of custom work on your machine. This way, you may work on your websites without needing to worry that you will not be able to use some application or losing time on complex issues.
Installation and Troubleshooting in Dedicated Web Hosting
If you need our upgrade for any reason, you can add it to your dedicated server with several mouse clicks through the billing CP or if you need some custom work on the server immediately after it is set up, you can obtain the upgrade during the signup process and tell us what do you require to be performed, so everything shall be ready once your web server is operational. 60 minutes of custom work are added to your account each and every time you acquire the upgrade, so you can take advantage of this service as many times as you require. If some task needs less time to be performed, you'll not lose the remaining minutes and they will be available for future tasks. Our upgrade will permit you to focus on creating and promoting your Internet sites without spending time on maintaining the dedicated hosting server or the software installed on it. You could employ it if you also use our Managed Services upgrade, but the 30 minutes it provides are not sufficient to execute all tasks which you require.
