While most dedicated hosting companies offer 'Unmanaged' or 'Managed' hosting services, HostColor provides "Semi-Managed" and "Managed" Dedicated Servers. 'Unmanaged' means that the client is solely responsible for the management of the bare-metal dedicated server they have. The provider's responsibility is to make sure that the server network connection works properly and in case of a hardware failure, to fix the failed components, or to replace the whole physical server.
'Managed' means that the provider is responsible for managing the network, the physical server, the installed operating system, and the software environment. The provider performs operating system updates, software updates, and other management and configuration tasks on the physical server. In other words 'Unmanaged Dedicated Servers' do not come with server-side support as the customers pay for a basic infrastructure service. The 'Managed Dedicated Servers' feature full support of the server-side infrastructure, OS, and software environment and are therefore more expensive, as the provider's experts spend time and work hours to provide technical and system administration.
HostColor fills the gap by offering "Semi-Managed" Dedicated Servers in Charlotte. "Semi-Managed" means that our administrators install your preferred OS on the physical server or your preferred virtualization platform to transform the physical server into a Cloud infrastructure. We create a custom technology environment per your requirements and keep on record a description with the 'base desired state' of your Dallas server. As a part of the "Semi-Managed" support contract, HostColor reinstalls the server OS per the request and helps the client fix issues and troubleshoot in case of any operating system, networking, or software configuration issues. All 'Semi-Managed' Dallas dedicated servers feature up to 30 minutes per month of technical and system administration. Any time spent by HC experts on managing the server OS, software environments, or troubleshooting is charged per standard HostColor's managed service provider (MSP) rates.
