Advantage of Dedicated Hosting

[John23]

HI,

First, if you do not want to purchase your own server at your location, or if you don’t have the time or experience to operate one, a dedicated server can provide the same functionality, without the added maintenance concerns. A dedicated hosting plan is very similar to owning your own server, but you won’t have to worry about fixing it if it should go down, and you will not have to provide an always-on high-speed internet connection.

In addition to having the features you need, not having to share a server with several other websites is a strong selling point for users needing a dedicated solution. In shared hosting situations, there are normally at least 10 other websites on one server, all sharing resources and disk space. If you are seeing a degradation of your website’s performance, this could be caused by another user on the server. With a dedicated server, your site is the only one that is allowed to reside on the server, leaving you full control of disk space, RAM and other important server tools.

Cost effectiveness is another important aspect of dedicated hosting. Instead of having to pay for costly add-ons, additional disk space and bandwidth, you can usually find a dedicated hosting plan that offers these features for less money than you would have to pay by adding on extras.

Dedicated hosting - offers customers the option to lease pre-configured servers and Internet connectivity for their exclusive use versus VPS or Shared, where other customers share the host server.

Why lease a dedicated server?

For smaller customers, dedicated makes more business sense.

A broad range of managed services are available.

The server belongs to the hosting provider and it’s their responsibility to maintain and keep it running.

Entry costs are lower and scalability is enhanced.

It allows you to outsource IT expertise so you can do what you do best – drive your business

If you’re on a VPS or shared account now, some considerations to move to a dedicated solution may be:

Traffic to your site has increased to where it’s approaching the limit allowed on your current plan.

Your marketing projections reflect dynamic growth, drastically accelerating timetables to upgrade.

You’re seeing reduced bandwidth speeds, possibly because your current host is overselling their servers.

With dedicated server you have total control under it and manage it by yourself

Dedicated servers are great to boost your web business, because you get good speed, resources are well utilized by your web but you must have good skills to maintain it well.

I'd only say here that if anyone wants to operate its own physical server for more than 12 months, then it is much better to buy a machine and to colocate it. Of course one must make sure that the colocation host provides some remote hands (1 hour for example) as a part of the contract.

That is more expensive then shared or even VPS and if you really want with dedicated server there is should be a real need for that.

That is good article I think. But you  need to think twice if you need dedicated server at all. That could be you will be fine on Shared host for the long time.
