If you obtain your own hosting server, you will have more independence as to what you'll be able to install and run when compared with a shared web hosting account. With a shared service, you have access simply to your own account, hence you aren't able to install server-side software. While this is not a problem for most script-driven applications, there are several that have certain requirements and need certain software to be present on the hosting server either for some additional features or for them to work at all. In case you have practical knowledge, you will not have any difficulties to run the machine, but if you do not, you may simply not have the knowledge to deal with everything and use the script apps you want. If that's the case, you could use our Installation & Troubleshooting upgrade, which means that our system admins can set up everything for you and help you with any problems that you could come across.
Installation and Troubleshooting in Dedicated Web Hosting
You can add the upgrade to any of the Linux dedicated servers hosting packages which we offer at any time that you need it. In the event that you need some custom work from our admins immediately after your web server is ready, you may get the upgrade during the server signup process, or when you need something to be executed afterwards, you could add the upgrade from your billing CP. The Installation & Troubleshooting service includes 60 minutes work from our admins on your hosting server, so if you encounter any difficulties to install a third-party software or some app gives errors and doesn't work the way it is supposed to, our experts can aid you in a very timely manner. If a task takes less than 60 minutes, the rest of the time shall be available for future tasks and you'll be able to see it in the billing area. This upgrade is ideal in case you don't have lots of experience with managing a hosting server or if you use our Managed Services upgrade, but you exhaust the half an hour custom work it provides.
