When looking at any dedicated hosting option, hardware failure plays a very important part. In the event of a power supply blowing, your CPU going crazy or somebody kicks the server’s power cord – you want to know your information is secure and safe.
Now with most web hosts, if you purchase any managed addons they are usually added to the internal monitoring that the web host’s server admins do. They will now what to do with any failure the moment it happens. In turn, depending on the situation, it might take up to/around two hours for a repair.
Now lets say, in the case of a storage failure, are the hard drives imaged or raided in any way?
In most cases, there is only one hard drive in the sever by default, so there are not any fault tolerance setups like images or raid. Now if you purchase a secondary hard drive for your server, this is something that could then be setup with ease.
