The internet can process and stream video, and run a multitude of applications. Yet many hosting companies don't give access to these technologies. By using a managed host these technologies become available for usage on a site. Security of data and mitigation of attacks is part of the system used to host the site, and the security of the site needs to be managed.

The server can keep the user informed step by step where his order is from receiving it to its delivery and all points in between. Polling would be the client asking for updates, which takes place transparently while the client is on the page but is delayed by a few seconds.
Server-side events and microservices on the host can take a site to the next level and a step above the competition.
