Cobalt Broadband offers the following Hosting services:

Full-Managed Hosting
With our fully managed services, we manage and maintain the hardware, operating system (OS), and all supported software. FTP access is granted to upload and download content. In addition to tech support, we provide full hardware maintenance support, 24 x 7 server monitoring, and timely certification and application of critical patches to OS and supported software. This is the best choice for companies who do not have extensive technical resources in-house.

Self-Managed Hosting
Our self-managed services provide customers with full administrative access giving them complete control over servers and applications. Customers receive full hardware maintenance support along with 24 x 7 tech support, but are responsible for maintaining their operating systems and all applications. This is the best choice for companies with extensive server administration expertise or for web designers and developers who require root access to install custom or third party applications.
