Your own server, without having to run it yourself
Managed dedicated server hosting gives you an entire physical server for your workload while our technical team runs the operating system and day-to-day server administration. The hardware belongs to one customer, so CPU, RAM, storage and network are never shared with other virtual machines.
That makes a managed dedicated server a strong fit for applications that need consistent performance — databases, ERP systems, SaaS platforms and high-traffic websites — when your team would rather build the application than patch kernels at 2 a.m.
You keep full root or Administrator access. We handle setup, security hardening, updates, monitoring, backups, troubleshooting and hardware, so your team manages the application while we manage the infrastructure under it.
Support scope, configurations and facility information last reviewed: October 2026.
- Your application needs consistent CPU, memory and disk performance
- You run a busy database, ERP, SaaS app or high-traffic website
- Your team has developers but no full-time Linux or Windows admin
- You want OS updates, security, backups and monitoring handled
- Business or compliance rules mean the server must stay in India
- Public cloud bills have become hard to predict
You don't need a whole machine yet — a cloud server with reserved cores and RAM costs far less. A small website with modest traffic is better served by a VPS.

What managed dedicated hosting really costs
The server's monthly price is only part of the cost of running dedicated infrastructure. Run it yourself and you also pay — in salaries or in your own time — for system administration, security updates, monitoring, backups, incident response and hardware troubleshooting.
Covering a single server round the clock in-house can take more than one administrator. With managed dedicated hosting, that work is part of the plan price, and our 24x7 NOC is already watching, so you don't need to build an on-call rota for one server.
- OS build, hardening and security patching
- 24x7 NOC monitoring and incident response
- Backup setup, monitoring and restores
- Hardware replacement at the rack
- Standard migration from your current provider
- Control panel and Windows licences (at cost)
- Backup storage — Acronis or Comet
- Application, CI/CD and cluster projects
What server management covers — and what it doesn't
This is the responsibility matrix our support team works from. "Included" tasks are covered by your monthly plan price.
| Task | Scope | What eWebGuru does / what you provide |
|---|---|---|
| OS install, partitioning and hardening | Included | We build the OS, apply a CIS-informed baseline and configure LVM or ZFS. You confirm the layout and application prerequisites. |
| Security patching and kernel updates | Included | We monitor and apply OS and security updates. You confirm compatibility where a patch may affect your software. |
| Firewall, brute-force protection, SSH policy | Included | We configure CSF/LFD or nftables and edge filtering on AS133643. You tell us which ports and sources your application needs. |
| Control panel install and upkeep | Included | We install and maintain cPanel & WHM, Plesk Obsidian or DirectAdmin. The panel licence is billed at cost. |
| Web server, PHP-FPM and cache | Included | We configure Apache, NGINX or LiteSpeed and size PHP pools. You specify PHP versions and extensions. |
| Database server configuration | Included | Resource allocation, slow-query review and replication setup. Schema design and query optimisation stay with your developers. |
| Backups: configure, monitor and restore | Included | We set up, verify and restore backups on request at no extra charge. Backup storage (Acronis or Comet, off-server) is a paid add-on; you set retention and RPO. |
| Monitoring and incident response | Included | Our NOC monitors resources, services and hardware health and investigates alerts. You provide escalation contacts. |
| Hardware diagnosis and replacement | Included | Failed drives, memory, PSUs and controllers replaced at the rack — within 6 hours at most, typically about 2. |
| Mail server and SPF / DKIM / DMARC | Included | We configure Postfix/Dovecot or Exim and the DNS records. Sending practices and list hygiene are yours. |
| Migration from your current provider | Included | Standard cPanel, Plesk and DirectAdmin migrations at onboarding. You provide source access and approve the cutover window. |
| Application deployment and debugging | Billable | Infrastructure-side troubleshooting is included; work inside your codebase is quoted. |
| Kubernetes, CI/CD and infrastructure as code | Billable | Docker and k3s are supported on the host. Pipeline and cluster design is quoted as a project. |
| Compliance evidence and audit support | Billable | Configuration attestations and extended log retention are available. Certifying your application remains your responsibility. |
| Load-balanced or clustered builds | Billable | HAProxy or NGINX tier design is quoted per topology. You define the availability target. |
| Maintenance outside the standard window | Billable | The 02:00–06:00 IST window is included. Work scheduled outside it is quoted. |
| Application code, licences and third-party SaaS | Yours | We advise on server-side configuration. Licences and code ownership stay with you. |
| DNS for domains hosted elsewhere | Yours | DNS on our nameservers is managed free. Records at an external DNS provider are yours to maintain. |
Root access stays with you
Full root or Administrator access is yours from handover. Where a change you make conflicts with our configuration management, our ability to support that subsystem may be limited — so we ask that production changes are raised as a ticket and done together.
What our managed dedicated server service includes
Six areas of server administration covered from the day of handover — and the limits of each.
OS and kernel management
We install and harden the OS for your specification and keep it patched. Our target for critical vulnerabilities is 24–48 hours from vendor release where compatible, with live kernel patching where supported. Routine maintenance runs 02:00–06:00 IST, with notice when it may affect availability.
Security hardening
Firewall, SSH security, brute-force protection and OS controls — plus SELinux or AppArmor, ModSecurity with the OWASP Core Rule Set, file-integrity monitoring and malware scanning where your stack allows. Reviewed against the apps actually on the server, not a generic template.
Web and database servers
Apache, NGINX or LiteSpeed tuned to your workload; PHP-FPM pools sized, with PHP 8.1 to 8.5 and older versions on isolated pools on request. Configuration, slow-query analysis and replication for MySQL, MariaDB, PostgreSQL and Percona.
Backup and recovery
Backups configured to your retention needs, encrypted before off-site transfer, with databases dumped consistently rather than copied from disk. We check integrity and restore on request at no charge; backup storage is a paid add-on.
Monitoring
Resources, disk and RAID health, and key services — HTTP, DNS, database ports — plus IPMI hardware telemetry with predictive drive-failure warnings. Our NOC reviews alerts so you don't have to watch a dashboard. Application monitoring on request.
Mail infrastructure
Postfix with Dovecot, or Exim, with SPF, DKIM and DMARC, outbound rate limiting and mail security. Deliverability also depends on your sending practices and reputation, so we don't promise inbox placement.

Where your managed server is located
We deploy managed dedicated servers in CtrlS, Iron Mountain and Yotta facilities across Delhi NCR, Mumbai and Pune. You know which facility your server is in before you sign, and it is never relocated without your written agreement.
Servers connect to our own network on AS133643. Because we operate the ASN ourselves rather than reselling another provider's IP space, customers who hold their own address space can announce it over BGP.
Need a server outside India? Dedicated servers are also available in the USA and Singapore.

Managed vs self-managed dedicated server, VPS and cloud
Including the situations where another type of hosting is the better answer.
| Managed dedicated | Self-managed dedicated | Managed VPS | Public cloud | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Who administers the server | eWebGuru | Your team | eWebGuru | Your team |
| Dedicated physical hardware | Yes | Yes | No | No |
| You patch the OS | No | Yes | No | Yes |
| Scale within minutes | No | No | Limited | Yes |
| Cost predictability | High | High | High | Variable |
| Data location | Named facility | Named facility | Named facility | Region, not facility |
| Best suited to | Steady, resource-heavy workloads | Teams with in-house sysadmins | Growing workloads | Highly variable workloads |
Support response targets
Severity is set by the impact on your service, not by how the ticket is worded — our NOC can raise a critical ticket without you asking.
| Severity | First response target | What qualifies |
|---|---|---|
| Critical | Within 15 minutes | Server down, data corruption, active compromise |
| High | Within 1 hour | Service degraded, backup failure, predicted hardware failure |
| Normal | Within 4 hours | Configuration changes, software installation, tuning requests |
| Low | Within 24 hours | Advisory questions, documentation, architecture advice |
Targets, not guarantees
These describe how our desk prioritises work under normal conditions. Resolution time depends on the fault, hardware availability and sometimes third-party vendors. Network uptime is covered by our 99.99% SLA; service credits are set out in your service agreement.
Patching and provisioning
Critical patches target 24–48 hours, subject to vendor availability, compatibility and maintenance windows — if we miss it, we record why and the planned date. New servers are usually ready within 6 hours, 24 hours at most.
Compliance and regulated workloads
We can configure and operate dedicated servers with controls commonly required in regulated environments — access control, logging, encryption, change management and retention policies.
Infrastructure alone does not make an application PCI DSS, HIPAA or SOC 2 compliant, and we don't claim that hosting with us certifies your business. Tell us your requirement before deployment and we'll set out in writing which controls we provide and which remain yours.
- Access control — administrative access restricted and documented.
- Logging and retention — extended log retention available on request.
- Encryption — backups encrypted before leaving the server.
- Change management — production changes through tickets, inside a maintenance window.
- Data residency — named Indian facility, not moved without written agreement.
Managed dedicated server hosting FAQ
Scope, pricing, access, backups and support for managed dedicated servers in India.
What is managed dedicated server hosting?
Managed dedicated server hosting gives you an entire physical server for your workload, while the provider runs the server for you — setup, security hardening, updates, monitoring, backups and hardware issues. You keep full root or Administrator access and focus on your application.
How much does a managed dedicated server cost in India?
Managed dedicated servers at eWebGuru start at ₹8,500 per month for a Xeon E3-1230 with 32 GB RAM and 960 GB SSD, with server management included in the price. Windows Server adds ₹2,000 per CPU for the licence.
What exactly is included in server management?
OS installation and hardening, security updates, firewall and access control, control panel upkeep, web and database server configuration, backup setup and restores, monitoring, mail server configuration and hardware fault handling. Application development, CI/CD pipelines and clustered builds are quoted separately. The full responsibility matrix is on this page.
Do I still get root or Administrator access?
Yes. Linux servers come with root SSH access and Windows servers with Administrator RDP access. Our team also holds access so we can patch and monitor. Where your change conflicts with our configuration management, support for that subsystem may be limited, so we ask that production changes go through a ticket.
Are backups included?
Backup management is included: we configure backups, monitor them, check integrity and restore on request at no extra charge. Backup storage — Acronis or Comet, kept off the server — is a paid add-on sized to your data and retention needs.
How quickly are security vulnerabilities patched?
Our internal target for critical vulnerabilities is 24 to 48 hours from vendor release, depending on patch availability, compatibility with your applications and any maintenance window needed. These are operational targets, not contractual guarantees, unless written into your agreement.
How quickly is a managed dedicated server ready?
Usually within 6 hours, and within 24 hours at most depending on configuration and stock. Custom builds may take longer, and we confirm the date before you pay.
What happens if the server hardware fails?
Monitoring raises alerts from IPMI and SMART data, including predictive drive failure warnings. Our engineers replace the failed part at the rack within 6 hours at most, usually about 2, and rebuild or fail over the RAID array. You get a written summary of what happened and what changed.
Can you migrate my existing server?
Yes. Standard cPanel, Plesk and DirectAdmin migrations are included. We stage the data, run a parallel sync and switch DNS at a time you choose. Custom applications or unusual architectures are assessed before we commit to a plan.
Where are the servers located?
In CtrlS, Iron Mountain and Yotta facilities across Delhi NCR, Mumbai and Pune, on our own network AS133643. You are told which facility your server is in before you sign, and it is not moved without your written agreement. Dedicated servers are also available in the USA and Singapore.
What uptime do you commit to?
We provide a 99.99% network uptime SLA. Service credits and any additional commitments are set out in your service agreement.
Is managed dedicated hosting compliant with PCI DSS, HIPAA or SOC 2?
We can operate servers with controls commonly needed for regulated workloads — access control, logging, encryption, change management and retention. Infrastructure alone does not make an application compliant, so tell us your requirement before deployment and we will set out in writing which controls we provide and which remain yours.
What is the minimum contract period?
30 days.
