Managed hosting isn’t only about storing website files. Most hosting companies offer a range of hosting solutions to accommodate the diverse needs of small and medium-sized businesses. These solutions usually range from hosting small static sites in a shared environment to hosting larger, database-driven sites on minimally shared or dedicated machine. With the trend moving away from static websites—even for a small sales and marketing website, today’s hosting companies need to be able to provide more advanced services such as the ability to set up, host, and support database solutions such as Microsoft SQL Server, Oracle, and MySQL, as well as the ability to set up and configure content management systems. Additionally, website hosting and email hosting go hand-in-hand. Most companies who are outsourcing their web hosting are also outsourcing their email hosting. And, most companies would rather have a single hosting company handle both tasks.
