Managed CloudServer

We operate our infrastructure in Amsterdam (The Netherlands), Helsinki (Finland) and Tallinn (Estonia).

The primary distinctions lie in the allocation of server resources for the application and the technology employed to segregate clients. A web application hosted on a Managed CloudServer benefits from better resource allocation and is kept separate from other clients, reducing the likelihood of risks.

Upon acquiring a VPS or standard CloudServer, the customer receives a virtualised server with an operating system, wherein they are responsible for setting up and maintaining the hosting environment for their web application – including monitoring, security updates, backups, and so on. The ingenuity of a Smart Cloud Server lies in the fact that Zone manages all of this.

The Managed CloudServer was designed to cater to mission-critical web applications and pages. Therefore, to minimise risks associated with manageability, it is envisaged that one Managed CloudServer should host one website, along with its aliases or subdomains. If an organisation intends to host multiple mission-critical applications, we suggest that distinct Managed CloudServers be chosen for each.

Our objective is to furnish our clients with a Managed CloudServer that is under the supervision of Zone, ensuring that the responsible party is always identifiable. Collaborating with other parties to share responsibilities and privileges would inevitably result in fragmented responsibility and heightened risks, making the service more intricate and, thus, more costly. Therefore, we do not grant root user privileges to the customer.

Managed CloudServers permit altering the web server or the database server parameters that, if modified in standard web hosting, could compromise customer data’s confidentiality, integrity or manageability. For instance, it is feasible to adjust the behaviour of the SQL server to allow for a single query to utilise significantly more resources. If you have any questions about a specific parameter, please do not hesitate to contact our specialists.

The changes for you are significant. With the update, your website and e-store will become noticeably faster, which significantly improves the user experience. For clients, browsing the site will become smoother and more enjoyable, which may also increase their satisfaction and thus sales numbers.
Additionally, a special “Turbo” button has been added to the control panel. This allows you to temporarily increase your server’s capacity for three days without additional costs during campaigns. This is particularly useful for major sales campaigns or unexpectedly increased web traffic, providing the necessary resources when you need them most.
