Just as there is checklist for selecting a proper share hosting company, there is checklist for selecting a Managed hosting service provider too. Reputation of the company and uptime of the Server as quoted by the managed hosting service provider should be taken into account while selecting a company. Is the company equipped to provide fast technical support to its clients? Where are data centres of the managed hosting service providers located? Do they offer PCI Compliance servers? Does the company have any disaster recovery plans? are few of the questions that one must ask such companies before selecting a suitable managed hosting company.
