OVERLAND PARK, KS – March 23, 2009 - Aplus.net, a leading web hosting company and Internet solutions provider, has just released a new set of flexible managed hosting services that provide support on a wide array of routine tasks as well as expert guidance on managing firewalls, load balancing, and other custom services. Managed Hosting from Aplus.net offers several benefits for small- and medium-sized companies in terms of time, cost and efficiency as an alternative to self-managed servers.

Aplus.net has assembled a comprehensive list of essentials ­– from email and DNS services, OS patching and network monitoring to security checks and managed backups – enabling site owners to focus on other critical aspects of their businesses. Items are available in a series of three, progressively-tiered hosting plans: Basic Managed, Selected Managed and Premium Managed. Plan participants may also choose from a list of custom services (À La Carte Support) designed to assist owners with setup, maintenance, cooperative support and other important tasks to optimize web sites and email delivery.

“Increasingly, the challenge for many businesses today is: can you still afford to manage your own servers for hosting and email?” points out Alex Yevelev, Senior Vice President of Sales and Marketing at Aplus.net. ”There are more security threats than ever and hundreds, even thousands, of software and server patches required every year. Faced with potential email outages, data loss and other risks to your web presence, managed services offer one avenue of protection.”

Managed hosting is available on any dedicated server through Aplus.net. For more information on pricing, features and other important details, review Aplus.net’s Managed Hosting plans.

To help businesses understand and evaluate their options, Aplus.net has just published Reduce Costs While Improving Reliability, Uptime, and Security, exploring the advantages, current trends and key features of semi- and fully-managed hosting plans.
