Benefits of Using a Dedicated Server For Web Hosting

By Adam Gufarotti

However, this is a case of "you get what you pay for" and there are some definite advantages to paying the extra money. The biggest problem with shared hosting is that there is no way you can have 100% control over the stability and reliability of the service. When you share web hosting space with others, there are variables commonly experienced:

• System overload

• Bad codes from other users

• Bad scripts from other users, especially beginners

• Too many applications uploaded

• Too many components uploaded

When you lease space on a dedicated server, you are in charge of what software and applications are installed, and your space is not congested with numerous other software and applications installed for other users. The very nature of a dedicated web server means that you are able to reduce your dependency on your service provider.

• Bypass time delays caused by nor enough bandwidth

• Avoid unnecessary expenses caused by down time

• Provide instant support to your customers

When you are in business, word-of-mouth recommendations bear a great deal of weight when it comes to your reputation for providing fast, reliable service. Your customers are more apt to give you rave reviews and spread the word about your company if you give them the same support for their websites that you would expect to have for your own.

A Dedicated Server Can Be a Necessity

Especially if you own a business that involves, for example, any type of web design, it would be virtually impossible to function well without a dedicated server. Having 24 hour access to your own server lets you make changes and repairs on your customers' websites at any time of the night or day. This will encourage your design business to grow, because your customers will keep coming back and they will bring others with them.

If you have experienced the problem of visitors to your website leaving before they did what you intended for them to do, take a look at how long your pages are taking to download. Sharing your web server with others means that you are competing with thousands of others for bandwidth, hence slowing the download of pages on your own website. You will never experience this or your website simply not being available when you have your own dedicated space.
