Apart from having more system resources, a reason why you could get your own web server and use it instead of a shared web hosting plan is that you can install and run a wide selection of software. With a shared account, you could use apps, that do not require root access and aren't set up server-side, so when you need certain software for your web sites, you can't set it up on a shared server. This is not so with a server of your own in which you are able to install everything you want. The downside is that you may not have much experience and dealing with your own hosting server is more challenging that managing a shared Internet hosting account where the service provider takes care of most things. That's why we offer one more service for our server plans called Installation & Troubleshooting and you may reap the benefits of it any time you come across any issues with the supervision of your hosting server.
Installation and Troubleshooting in VPS Servers
The upgrade includes sixty minutes of custom work on your server, so in case you get any one of our VPS servers packages, you'll be able to take full advantage of this service and have our administrators carry out different tasks that you cannot perform yourself or you have no time. They can install and set up any piece of third-party software for you if the installation is complicated or they can troubleshoot any program that does not function adequately for some reason. You could add the upgrade to your plan as frequently as you would like depending on the time needed for a specific task and its complexity. Any remaining time will remain available in your account for the future and you can see how many minutes are left in your billing Control Panel. Our Managed Services upgrade provides half an hour of custom work on your server as well, but in case you need more than that, you could always add the Installation & Troubleshooting upgrade with a couple of mouse clicks from the billing area.
Installation and Troubleshooting in Dedicated Servers
You'll be able to add the upgrade to any one of the Linux dedicated service that we offer at any time that you need it. In the event that you need some custom work from our admins right after your hosting server is ready, you could acquire the upgrade during the hosting server signup procedure, or when you need something to be carried out later, you'll be able to add the upgrade from your billing CP. The Installation & Troubleshooting service features one hour of work from our admins on your hosting server, so in the event that you face any issues to install a third-party piece of software or some application gives errors and doesn't work the way it should, our professionals can assist you in a very timely manner. If a task takes less than sixty minutes, the remaining time shall be available for future tasks and you shall be able to see it inside the billing area. This upgrade is suitable if you don't have a lot of experience with managing a server or if you use our Managed Services upgrade, but you deplete the 30 minutes custom work it comes with.
