Bandwidth is a term that describes the amount of data that can be sent and received over a network connection in a given period of time. It must not be confused with the term “Data Transfer”. Bandwidth is measured in bits per second (bps), kilobits per second (Kbps), megabits per second (Mbps), or gigabits per second (Gbps).

A higher bandwidth results in more data being transmitted in a shorter time frame, allowing for faster communication and data transfer.

Bandwidth depends on the quality of the network connection, the number of users sharing the connection, the type of data being transmitted, and other factors. Bandwidth is often a key factor when organizations choose any web hosting or cloud service provider.

Managed Website is a web hosting service that comes with technical and system administration. Depending on its specifications we can call it “Out-of-the-box Website”. Unlike the Managed Hosting, which is a term that usually refers to a Dedicated, Virtual Private Server or a Cloud Server service which is delivered and managed by the provider, Managed Website does not mention any specific IT Hosting service niche.

However, “Managed Website” most often indicates that the customer’s website, which is managed by the service provider is probably hosted in a Shared Hosting environment. For that reason the service could be also called “Managed Website Hosting”.

What is include into a Managed Website service?

When it comes to technical and system administration “Managed Website” means that the web hosting company take over the full management of the customers account and provides services like:

• HTML editing
• Graphic Design support and maintenance
• Content Management System support, management and updates
• Search Engine Optimization of the web pages
• Software installation and maintenance
• Full Technical Support of all applications installed on the web hosting account
• Full Technical support of all services configured on the web hosting account
• Both Server-Side application and Client-side application support
• Resource Monitoring
• Website Uptime Monitoring
• Website Security management and hardening
• Troubleshooting and overall service improvements

Unlike that standard Self-Managed Web Hosting, the Managed Website (Hosting) service means that the owner of the website outsources the overall website management lifecycle to the service provider.
