10. Managed Hosting vs. Traditional Shared Hosting
Better Performance
Your store is the only site on the server. No noisy
neighbor.
Customization
The Private Cloud solution can be completely
customized for your store.
Better Security
On shared hosting servers there is higher security
risk due to the possibility of other
customers uploading vulnerable applications.
More Resources
Shared hosts put limits on server resources so they
can accommodate multiple customers on the same
server.
Easier Troubleshooting
Our Advanced Monitoring Service helps quickly detect
issues - even before something worse happens.

11. Managed Hosting vs. Public Clouds (Azure, AWS)
Easier to Setup and Manage
Public Clouds are extremely complicated to set up
and manage. Everleap sets up everything for you
and we offer migration help.
Lower Costs
Our pricing is typically less than Public Clouds.
Expert Technical Support
Included
Public Clouds offer paid Technical Support plans.
Our expert technical support is included. We also
include System Admin as-a-service.
Proactive Advanced Monitoring
We monitor the server, application, and database.
We will proactively notify you of any issues we see
and help troubleshoot them.
Predictable and Clear Pricing
We charge a fixed monthly rate. Public Clouds are
metered by-the-minute for every resource your store
uses, so the billing statement is confusing and
unpredictable. There is no "Bill Shock" with Everleap.
No Data Transfer Fees
We include in/out data transfer fees in our quote, unlike
Public Clouds.

12. Managed Hosting vs. VPS / Dedicated Server
Easier Scalability
Scaling with Everleap's infrastructure will not be as
disruptive. Scaling VPS and Dedicated environments
can be disruptive (e.g., downtime, migration).
No Maintenance Headaches
Our Managed Hosting is fully-managed, so we take
care of all server updates and security patching.
Proactive Planning
We monitor the server, application, and database.
We will proactively notify you of any issues we see
and help troubleshoot them.
No Resource Contention
Typically, with VPS, multiple VMs run on a single host
machine. Multiple VPS share the server resources, so
there may be times of resource contention.
Proactive Advanced Monitoring
We help you plan your environment, migration and
customization. We help you plan any infrastructure
updates/upgrades.

13. Managed Hosting vs. On-Premises Hosting
No Hardware Costs
Your business does not incur hardware CAPEX
costs. And you won't need to refresh your hardware
every 3-5 years.
Easier Scalability
We take care of scaling the hosting infrastructure. We
plan the upgrades with you. There is no need to
purchase servers or server parts.
No Maintenance Headaches
Our Managed Hosting is fully-managed, so we take
care of all server updates and security patching.
Advanced Monitoring
No need use a lot of internal resources for
monitoring. We monitor the server, application, and
database. We will proactively notify you of any
issues we see and help troubleshoot them.
Free Expert Help Available
Your IT Team can consult with our expert team on any
technical issue without the need to hire consultants.

14. What is best platform for my store?
Shared Hosting
Good for development, getting started, staging
site, proof of concept. Different hosts will have
different levels of scaling.
Noisy neighbor problem. If a store gets popular,
should be prepared to upgrade hosting solution.
Managed Hosting
Best for mission-critical stores/sites. No server
management headaches. Migration help. Expert
support included. Proactive monitoring.
VPS / Dedicated Server
In general, we would not recommend. You must be
committed to server management and maintenance.
Scaling is typically disruptive.
Public Clouds
Pros: Global datacenters. Supports latest technology.
Scalable.
Cons: Typically, more expensive. You still need to
manage your servers. You pay for support.

15. Secure Hosting

Security guards, biometric entry/exit, man-trap, 256+

conditioners, VESDA system... etc.
