Other than having more system resources, a reason why you can get your own web server and use it instead of a shared web hosting plan is the fact that you'll be able to install and run a wide variety of software. With a shared account, you can use programs, that don't need root access and are not installed server-side, so in case you need specific software for your web sites, you cannot set it up on a shared web server. This is not the case with a hosting server of your own where you are able to install everything you want. The downside is that you may not have much experience and managing your own machine is more complex that managing a shared Internet hosting account where the company handles most things. This is the reason why we offer another service for our hosting server plans called Installation & Troubleshooting and you may reap the benefits of it any time that you face any problems with the administration of your machine.
Installation and Troubleshooting in VPS Web Hosting
The upgrade could be purchased for any of the virtual private server plans no matter the OS and Control Panel that you have chosen or the task that you need to be performed as our admins will aid you with everything relevant to the software on the hosting server. This includes, but isn't limited to, installing third-party applications, setting up server options, troubleshooting scripts if they do not perform adequately, etcetera. The upgrade includes one hour of work and if a particular task requires less time, the remaining minutes shall be available for the future and will be listed in the VPS billing CP. You could use the Installation & Troubleshooting service either as an independent upgrade or as an addition to the Managed Services upgrade, which includes half an hour of custom work on your hosting server. Thus, you'll be able to work on your web sites without needing to worry that you will not be able to use some app or losing time on technical issues.
Installation and Troubleshooting in Dedicated Servers Hosting
You could add the upgrade to any of the Linux dedicated servers hosting which we offer at any time that you need it. In case you need some custom work from our administrators right after your hosting server is prepared, you could get the upgrade during the server signup process, or when you need something to be done afterwards, you could add the upgrade from your billing Control Panel. The Installation & Troubleshooting service offers sixty minutes of work from our administrators on your hosting server, so in case you come across any issues to install a third-party piece of software or some program gives errors and doesn't work the way it should, our professionals can aid you in a very timely manner. If a task takes less than 1 hour, the remaining time shall be available for future tasks and you'll be able to see it in the billing area. This upgrade is suitable if you do not have a lot of experience with managing a hosting server or if you use our Managed Services upgrade, but you exhaust the 30 min custom work it comes with.
