No, I don't have any plans of venturing into that kind of online business. But, he managed to educate me about different types of hosting available nowadays. Things have changed A LOT since I last managed a whole website, so, it was pretty interesting to me.
He told me about managed hosting. I was already familiar with dedicated hosting and I thought he was just referring to the same thing. But, it's quite different. If you have a website that generates tons of traffic, you only have two options for your web hosting – dedicated and managed hostings. If you are knowledgeable when it comes to maintenance, monitoring, setup, etc., then, you should go for dedicated hosting. But, if you prefer someone taking care of that for you, then, go with managed hosting. Your web host will, then, assign a technical support group for you who'll take care of your website's backend.
He also mentioned about colocation. I thought at first that he misspelled the word. LOLz. He, then, explained that colocation is when a client already has their own physical server, but, they don't have available space or means to host or take care of the actual hardware.
Interesting, right? I never knew about all these types of hosting. Now, if you're interested in any of these types of hosting, check out Superb. They offer different hosting plans that might suit your needs. They offer all the types of hosting I mentioned in this post. All that from one company!
