In the context of private server rental offers physics or virtualThe responsibility of the host is often misunderstood and is a source of conflict between the host and his client.
In order to begin, here is the distinction between the two parts:
Do not confuse host and administrator
-
Hosting a server is to provide the customer with physical resources (memory, processor, disk, network ...). The mission of the hosting company is to maintain these resources available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. The responsibility of a hosting company is exclusively on the hardware and network aspect.
-
Administration of a serverThe management of the server, often called outsourcing, consists in managing the operating system as well as the software installed on the server (Plesk, Apache, MySQL, PHPetc.). Except in special cases, hosting companies never provide server administration.
In simpler words, the host takes care of the crib but not the baby, the apartment but not the furniture.
Then proceed to distinguish between the types of servers rented by the group:
Dedicated or virtual server?
A dedicated server is a machine installed in our datacenter with dedicated resources for which you are the only administrator.
A VDS or VPS (Virtual Dedicated Server or Virtual Private Server) is a virtual machine installed on a dedicated server with independent dedicated resources (CPU, RAM, storage space).
Our virtual servers are based on KVM virtualization.
A dedicated server offers more performance since the resources are dedicated and not shared.
A virtual server offers almost the same performance at a lower cost and greater flexibility (the addition of cpu, ram etc. is done in a few minutes thanks to virtualization) while for a dedicated server a physical intervention is necessary for any modification.

Total outsourcing
Total outsourcing of a server means relieving you of all system administration tasks, supervising and guaranteeing the perfect operation of the entire platform. This goes far beyond the scope of hosting, as Nuxit commits to the following software warranties and is no longer limited to the provision of infrastructure.
There are several considerations to take into account:
-
You would no longer have administrator access, since this access would be under our responsibility.
-
The platform would be built around specific bricks, possibly tailor-made, managed by Nuxit and not a management panel (such as Plesk or Webmin).
