Server management is the monitoring and control of server computers to which websites or all other applications connected to the internet or running locally are connected, in order to ensure they run properly and stably.
To better understand server management, it is necessary to address the answer to the question of what a server is and the differences between a server and hosting.
What is a Server?
They are hardware and software computer systems that share the data and information stored on them with users on the internet or computer network they are connected to, or with different computer network systems. Servers are high-capacity computers with much more advanced hardware features compared to personal computers used daily.
What is Hosting?
The hosting service, whose Turkish equivalent is “barındırma” (hosting), is provided through the server computers we defined above. The hosting service, where you can store your personal or corporate data and make this data accessible on the internet, is provided through servers configured for this purpose.
Server Management and Managed Servers
Server management is technically a comprehensive operation. To perform server management, it is necessary to be able to connect to the server with full authority, and you need to have high technical knowledge both in terms of hardware and software. We can refer to all intervention operations carried out to stabilize the server and ensure that the systems on it work without problems in any kind of issue that may arise on the server as server management.
We can generally summarize the stages of server management under the following headings.
- Monitoring the server,
- Performing necessary checks and work for the server to operate healthily,
- Regularly performing update and security settings for the operating system and software on the server,
- Intervening in problems that may occur on the server,
- In case of hardware problems, identifying and resolving the issue.
In dedicated server services provided by data centers, since full authority over the server is given to the customer, server management responsibility also belongs to the customer. All operations such as ensuring server security, installing required software, and making necessary interventions to the server in case of problems are under the responsibility of the server owner institution or person.
Physical server owners who do not want to perform server management related operations can request server management services from the company they rent the service from. However, data centers generally provide server management on a paid basis since custom solutions are produced for individuals or institutions for server management operations. You can receive server management support for a certain fee, or you can use the managed server service where all management belongs to the data center.
In the managed server service provided by our company, server management responsibility lies entirely with our support desk. This way, you save the time you would spend on server management. In our managed server service, no extra server management fee is charged. You can use our service with free server management and free cPanel license, and you can spend more time on your projects by leaving server management to our expert support team.
