Dedicated Servers

Why do you need a Dedicated Server?

Most businesses host their websites on shared space i.e the diskspace and server resources such as cpu, memory are shared among several websites. To effectively recover the cost of the server, a single server may host hundreds of websites.

Since, resources are shared amongs hundreds of websites, the cost of hosting is less. (some hosting company's also oversell resources at low prices and make a quick buck...but that is a different story.

Shared hosting is ideal for companies that are hosting brochure based websites and static websites and have a few email accounts.

A dedicated server is ideal if the website...has a high volume of traffic stores sensitive data within their database has hosted a custom developed application conducts ecommerce transactions shares financial transactions servers popular blogs, forum etc.

"Companies/Individuals that depend on their website and databases for their business should invest in hosting their website on a private and more controlled environment line a dedicated server"

What are the advantagea of Dedicated Hosting?

A properly configured and secured Dedicated Server assures protection of data: privacy, security. Unnecessary services can be turned off... since all server resources are controlled performance is greatly improved.

Custom security policies can be put in place to ensure data security...for e.g shells can be denied to all users, direct root access can be prevented (redhat)..etc.

Exclusive utilization of the resources of the servant

There have been many instances of web hosts suspending or even terminating a shared website that was found to be consuming high resources due to high traffic or a poorly written script resulting in loss of data for the clients. There have been instances where an entire shared server has been plugged off by a Datacenter because one site had been hacked by a phishing script. However, the most common problems faced by shared clients is when a malicious cracker compromises their server...sends out millions of spam emails and gets the server i.p. address to be blacklisted across several RBL's...effectively blocking all email communication to/from the server.

A Dedicated Server Guarantees Total control.
