What Is A Hosted Server
A hosted server is a computer server that’s housed in a data center, instead of in your office. The hosted server is maintained, secured, and backed up by a hosting provider, and you access the server via the internet.
What Does A Hosted Server Do
Essentially, a hosted server stores your business software and and databases in the cloud, and it’s able to run different applications, for multiple users, at the same time.
Common uses for hosted servers include storage, as well as management of:
- email hosting
- files and file sharing (across teams and departments)
- databases
- accounting software
- inventory systems
- ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) tools
- CRM (Customer Relationship Management) software
- remote work or multiple-location access
- backup and archiving
Benefits Of A Hosted Server
There are a variety of benefits to using cloud computing with a hosted server.
Remote Access: A hosted server is the best IT solution for remote access. Your entire team can access the server from the office (or multiple office locations), their homes, and when they’re on the road.
Better Reliability And Uptime: Thanks to hosted servers being kept in professional data centers, your systems will stay online, even if there are local power or internet outages. These data centers have backup power, redundant internet connections, climate control, and 24/7 monitoring.
Improved Security: Security typically improves when you use a hosted server. Data centers have robust firewalls and cybersecurity protection, which means that hosted servers are more secure than servers that are in your building.
Built-In Backup And Disaster Recovery: Hosted server plans include automatic backups, quick data restoration, and off-site storage, which means faster and more complete recovery if your IT systems fail or data is lost.
Reduced IT Maintenance: Because the hosting provider handles hardware maintenance, updates and patches, security monitoring, and backups, you won’t need as much in-house or outsourced IT support.
Scalability: With a hosted server, you only pay for what you need, and you can easily increase or decrease the number of users, storage capacity, and processing power.
Lower Upfront Costs: With a hosted server, there’s no need to buy servers or networking equipment. Instead of being hit with a large capital expense, you can pay a monthly fee.
