Why Choose a Dedicated
Server?
Bandwidth
and Data Transfer
A Dedicated Server
allows you to
maximize the
bandwidth potential
of your site. If you
are upgrading from
shared server, your
site will no longer
be one among many
sites accessing the
file systems of the
server that it is
hosted on -- only
you and your web
site visitors will
be calling on your
web server. This
means that you can
take best advantage
of the high-speed
network provided
your Web host.
Overall this will
mean that Web page
download times are
faster. When running
an E-commerce site
this will mean
faster service &
tight security to
your customers and
ultimately greater
income.
Network
and Location
The high cost of
purchasing a
dedicated server
package obliges the
purchaser to do
significant research
when choosing a Web
host. As in server
collocation
the environment and
network connections
such as Ethernet
switches, T1/T3
lines, routers and
backbone can play a
significant role in
the decision making
process. As well,
the insured location
and fire, theft and
data loss protection
of your Web hosts
server facility can
greatly enhance the
safety of your
Internet venture.
Storage
Most dedicated
server plans offer
upwards of 18 GB
storage space as
opposed to an
average of 100 MB
disk space offered
with shared hosting
plans - a huge jump
in storage. This
translates into more
flexibility in
allocating space to
graphic intensive
content, multimedia
applications, and
other storage hungry
programs. Another
big advantage of
abundant storage
space is the ability
to archive extensive
log files. Unlike
shared server
environment, log
files do not have to
be deleted
constantly to
confront to disk
space constraints.
IP
Addresses
Having access to
multiple Internet
Protocol (IP)
addresses will
enable dedicated
server users to host
multiple sites with
unique IP numbers.
The biggest
advantage of
assigning one IP per
domain as opposed to
one IP for multiple
domains, is that all
of these unique IP
addresses will be
listed individually
by search engines.
When utilized
properly, access to
multiple IP
addresses can also
make analyzing web
traffic through
large sites more
efficient and
effective.
Superior
Administration
With a dedicated
host, your hosting
company will let you
make significant
changes to the
Internal file
structures of the
server, with
programs such as PC
Anywhere, FTP
Daemon, or Telnet.
As well,
administrators can
create special
programming to work
with your Web site(s),
thus allowing
features that
function
specifically for
your site (s). Most
Web hosts will not
allow this on shared
servers as your
programming changes
may interfere with
the other sites that
reside on that
server. You get root
access on all our
dedicated server
packages.
