What does Domain Name System mean?

-

The Domain Name System is an Internet naming system that makes it possible to assign domain names to groups of Internet resources and users, independent of each entity’s physical location. Domain names are easier to remember than IP addresses such as 207.75.188.166 (IPv4) or 2001:db6:1f70::999:de8:7648:6e8 (IPv6). Internet users use domain names to recite meaningful Uniform Resource Locators (URLs) and e-mail addresses.

The Domain Name System distributes the responsibility of assigning domain names and mapping those names to IP addresses by designating name servers for each domain. Name servers are responsible for their particular domains. The are DNS distributed and fault tolerant. This makes possible for the WWW to avoid keeping everything in a single central register which has to be continually consulted and updated.

Domain Name System also stores information about the list of mail servers that accept email for web addresses. Domain Name System is a very important component of the Internet as we know it because it provides a distributed keyword-based redirection service.

Managed Website. What Does It mean?

-

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.
