The Management service comes with four (4) different management levels, starting with “FMSA Light,” a basic service that applies to “Managed WordPress Hosting” and “Managed Blog Hosting” plans and includes one hour of technical administration per month.
“As more businesses go for virtualized instances instead of using physical dedicated servers, Managed Hosting refers now a bundle of computing resources, SaaS (Software as a service) and system administration services, specified in a certain IT Hosting service agreement. Back in 2000, when Host Color has started as web hosting provider, the Internet world was quite easy to understand. There were no software automation tools or those available were very few and immature. Ten years ago, all IT operations required certain skill set. The web hosting industry has changed a lot within the last decade, however. Many software automation products have been introduced on the market. They have simplified the process of designing, managing and supporting websites and applications at provider’s end. The software automation has also made the web business management very complex at user’s end. With thousands of software technologies available on the market, in each and every IT niche, and with the computer industry constantly pushing for new products, it is virtually impossible for most people to make informed decisions, even when it comes to simple website or app project,” explains Host Color’s VP of Operations Martin Andreev.
According to him the complexity of today’s dot-com business management and the opportunity to increase client base, were the main reasons for Host Color to switch from “Unmanaged” to “Managed Web Hosting.”
The web hosting provider has previously announced that it has made available to all Colocation, Dedicated Server and VPS customers, a network analytics platform named Network Performance Monitoring & Traffic Analyzer (NPMTA). It allows Host Color’s customers to analyze bandwidth usage, monitor business critical applications and network utilization. They can also monitor data transfer usage by: application, user, protocol and location.
