Thanks It would depend on what software you are talking about. If you lease a server with apache and cpanel for instance then your server would be updated with these. Any third party software would be your responsibility. mlovick 06-01-2003, 04:34 PM Originally posted by Bahamas Does this mean that they will update all the software and install patches and updates for you! Thanks This can be so - but time is money and they will only do so much for you depending on the support contract you have with them. In short - read the SLA and make sure you have in writing what they will and will not do for you b4 you sign on the line. Standard business practice really. 3nom 06-01-2003, 05:04 PM mlovikc gave you some good adivce thats what i was gonna say make sure you get a contract what you take care of and what they are suppose to take care of.

Come up with a list of what you expect to be responsible for maintaining and managing; and have a list of what you expect the provider to do. Then ask your questions away. Thank you. |
