5.0 out of 5 stars A superb book on building a successful web-hosting strategy, 21 Dec 2001
By Mr. S. Essex (England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Strategies for Web Hosting and Managed Services (Paperback)
Strategies for Web Hosting and Managed Services is a very useful and well written book and is written in a style suited to both technical and non-technical people. I have read a lot of I.T. books and can honestly say that this was one of the best I have read, certainly in regards to servers and hosting.

Topics covered in the book include Web Hosting Options, Components of Web Hosting, Comparing Vendor Categories, Shared and Dedicated Servers, Colocation, Managed Services, The Dark Side of Outsourcing, Getting It Right, Risk Management, Service Level Agreements, Traffic Models, Web-Site Architectures, Caching and Content Delivery Networks, Connectivity Practices, Storage, Backup and Recovery, Security, Conenctivity Performance, Monitoring, Net Detective Toolkit, Domain Names and DNS and various resources.

Buy it, I guarantee that you'll save money from reading it!

4.0 out of 5 stars First class overview of all aspects of web hosting, 15 April 2006
By Christian Muir "IT Manager" (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Strategies for Web Hosting and Managed Services (Paperback)
This is an excellent book covering all of the bases surrounding web hosting. I've been an IT Manager for several years without concentrating exclusively on hosting. This book has given me enough knowledge (allied with general industry knowledge) to be able to go out and make a decent fist of sorting out the web hosting problems I'm currently faced with. The fact that it is well written and easy to read is a bonus.

My only (small) gripe would be that the book is 5 years old now, and perhaps an update would be useful.

Despite this I would recommend this book heartily to anyone who needs to get an overall view of web hosting
