Trying to understand which hosting plan or server to choose can be not a simple task. You just see the list of the names and starting to lose? Obviously there is no one and the only right decision for every goal. But there are some points that you should highlight for yourself before purchasing a dedicated server.
Who needs a dedicated server?
Hosting on a dedicated server is worth considering if the main priority of your website and your organization’s applications is security. On shared servers, you may run into security issues with your data and information. A dedicated server will ensure complete security and prevent a data breach or virus attack. A dedicated server offers optimal uptime and impressive speed. Do not forget about the high capacity of disk space and bandwidth, which provides high performance.
You should think about a dedicated server if you have similar activities with the following ones:
Multi-page corporate portals;
Sites of popular media;
Large online stores like Nordstrom, amazon and etc.;
High traffic sites like youtube and etc.;
Game servers;
Database hosting.
Obviously you can be a small business with not a lot of traffic to your website but have a big and valuable data, or other situation where you think that better to have a dedicated server. But in general small business doesn’t need a dedicated server, because it is quite expensive and will not justify the money invested ( the reason is that your expectations from the server are completely different).
Reasons why you should choose a dedicated server (5 key factors)
BETTER PERFORMANCE
A dedicated server is dedicated to you and only you. This means that your server will run faster and faster. Cloud resources are distributed among all users on this particular server. If you want a good producer and so that your “server” neighbor traffic does not interfere with you, it is better to choose a dedicated server.
PAGE LOAD TIME
Faced with the fact that your site needs good website loading speed for SEO, you will think about the fact that this is really important. The speed of a site’s loading depends on many factors, but a dedicated server may not play the last role in this matter.
CUSTOM PROGRAMMING OPTIONS
Most shared hosting providers do not provide extensive custom programming options, owing to security and hardware limitations. Web developers and programmers love dedicated server hardware to create custom web server environments for complex application support.
ENHANCED SECURITY
Nowadays security is a must. Where is no doubt that your data is safer on a dedicated server rather than on a VPS. If your “neighbor” on shared hosting will be hacked it will definitely have an affect you also.
FLEXIBLE USAGE
Dedicated servers can be used for a number of different applications, as they are very flexible. The most common use for a dedicated server is to run a web hosting environment, while other applications include database storage and access, custom virtualization setups, VPNs, email servers and more.
