Definition

What is web server managed services?

Web server managed services refers to the complete or partial outsourcing of the technical management of your servers to a specialist external provider. Instead of mobilising an often costly internal team or reacting urgently to every incident, you benefit from proactive, structured and contractually guaranteed support.

In practice, this encompasses permanent monitoring of system resources (CPU, memory, disks, network), regular updates of operating systems and server software, backup management, optimisation of Apache, Nginx or LiteSpeed configurations, as well as rapid response to security or performance incidents.

For an SME or web agency, outsourcing its web server managed services means transforming an unpredictable expense item (outages, vulnerabilities, slowdowns) into a controlled cost with clear service level agreements (SLAs).

Our services

What our web server managed services include

Each plan is designed to cover the entire lifecycle of your infrastructure, from initial deployment to the resolution of critical incidents.

24/7 Monitoring

Continuous monitoring of availability, CPU load, memory consumption and disk space. Instant alerts in the event of an anomaly, critical threshold or service outage, with automatic escalation to our on-call team.

Web server management

Configuration, optimisation and administration of your Apache, Nginx, LiteSpeed or IIS servers. SSL/TLS certificate management, cache rule settings, worker and PHP-FPM pool tuning to maximise throughput and minimise latency.

Updates and patches

Regular and controlled application of security patches (OS, libraries, CMS, dependencies). Each update is validated in a staging environment before production deployment, eliminating the risk of regressions and zero-day vulnerabilities.

Automated backups

Implementation of daily incremental and weekly full backups, stored at geographically distributed locations. Periodic restoration tests to guarantee data integrity and RPO/RTO aligned with your business objectives.

Performance optimisation

Analysis of bottlenecks (Time To First Byte, Core Web Vitals, cache hit rate), database tuning, HTTP/2 and HTTP/3 enablement, Brotli/Gzip compression and cache header configuration for faster, better-ranked websites.

Responsive technical support

A ticket opened, a response within 15 minutes for critical incidents. Access to a dedicated systems engineer via ticket, phone or instant messaging. Detailed incident report after each intervention for transparent tracking of your infrastructure.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions about web server managed services

What is the difference between web hosting and web server managed services?
Web hosting consists of making server resources available (disk space, bandwidth). Web server managed services goes far beyond: it includes active management, monitoring, maintenance, security and optimisation of those resources. A hosting provider rents you a car; a managed services provider also provides the driver, the mechanic and the insurance.
What types of servers do you manage?
We manage dedicated servers, VPS, cloud instances (AWS, OVH, Hetzner, Azure) and hybrid environments. Whether your infrastructure is shared or bare metal, our team adapts to your technical context. We support Linux distributions (Debian, Ubuntu, CentOS, AlmaLinux) as well as Windows Server.
What happens in the event of an outage in the middle of the night or at the weekend?
Our monitoring system automatically detects incidents and triggers an alert to our on-call engineer. The guaranteed response time is 15 minutes for critical incidents (inaccessible site, data leak), 7 days a week, 24 hours a day. You receive a real-time notification and a resolution report as soon as the intervention is complete.
Are server managed services suitable for SMEs or only for large enterprises?
Web server managed services are particularly well suited to SMEs and web agencies that do not have the resources to hire a full-time systems engineer. Our plans are designed to be accessible from a single server, with predictable monthly rates that fit easily into an SME IT budget. Discover our managed services pricing to find the right plan for you.
