Rating:  - Considering Managed Hosting or Colocation, You Won't Find a Better Guide
not a hands on book. this is rather a guide to what to look for in web hosting architectures and things to consider whether you are looking at colocation or full outsourcing this will give you the education you need to make the right decisions. again, this will not tell you how to configure a load balancer or a redundant infrastructure, but it will explain common approaches to hosting problems and how to resolve them and general best practices in architecture, planning, selection.

Rating: - WOW ! Get this book!

Any IT decision-maker whom is responsible for ... Read More

Rating: - Only customer-centric guide I've found
This book's stated goal is to explain how to select a web-hosting service or MSP and how to manage that relationship once your site is up and running. It meets that goal in every respect by providing the customer side of the equation with a wealth of factors to consider, and a clear explanation of the significance of those factors.
Although the book has five parts, it can be divided into two sections that will serve two different audiences. The first section, comprised of Parts I through III, is ... Read More
