WHAT ARE THE REASONS TO CHOOSE A DEDICATED SERVER?
Businesses, large and small are usually faced with a lot of options for hosting their website, web
application, or mail server. The most common option is shared hosting, where a single
server’s resources are shared by a number of different websites.
Dedicated servers are known for their high performing features in processing power and
storage speed, connected to high-speed internet connections and hosted in data centers.
The word ‘dedicated’ means that a user or business owner has the exclusive use of an
entire server, or in some cases multiple.
Below are few reasons and advantages of using a dedicated server over every other kind
of server:
❖ Server Resources Are Not Shared
When you choose a dedicated hosting provider, you get full resources of single server. You
don’t need to worry about other websites slowing down the server’s CPU and RAM which
may hinder the speed and swiftness of the website.
❖ Large Storage Capacity
Dedicated servers provide the subscriber with 100% capacity and the ability to customize
the interface as needed. This means that they offer the potential for large storage
capacities, giving the subscriber the storage space needed for large applications and
databases.
❖ Reliability & Performance
Unlike shared hosting, dedicated server hosting involves the usage of a server’s resources
by one individual or a single business only. This means that users of a dedicated server
don’t have to share any of its resources with other users that might degrade or limit your
processing power – allowing you to enjoy the best of both worlds when it comes to hosting
as the performance and reliability are not impacted by others.
❖ High Level of Security A key benefit of a dedicated server hosting solution is security.
Since the resource is not shared with other users and is for your exclusive use only – the
key to the security of your server is entirely in your hands for you to control. Controlling
what happens with your server’s operating system and its applications puts you in the
driver’s seat.
❖ Special & Unique IP Address
Each server has its own unique IP address. With dedicated hosting, you have a dedicated
server, which means your own unique IP address. This is especially important if you are a
large running e-commerce site that requires SSL for credit card processing.
❖ Flexibility & Customization Options A dedicated server provides the opportunity to customize server needs based on the
customer wishes or needs, providing a variety of customization options that shared server
resources usually do not provide.
Utilizing a dedicated resource also allows the subscriber to choose options like different CPUs or RAM options
