Benefits of a Dedicated Server
A dedicated server (also known as dedicated hosting) is a server used to handle the business of only one company or web presence. In other words, the machine is “dedicated” only to that company and no other. It is not shared in any way shape or fashion with any other company or business. The advantages are many, much like living in a home of your own rather than having to share space with roommates.
The benefit of having a dedicated server means your firm will not have to share space or bandwidth with other companies. It means your traffic will make it to your website with danger of crashing. You customers will be able to shop at their leisure. Your databases and forums will all remain in tact and function as you want to function. There is no need to worry about any else making a programming mistake that will not only make them crash, but will crash you as well.
The best way to describe bandwidth is to think of it as a toll booth on a highway. The toll booth regulates the amount of traffic allowed on the roadway at any given time. If for some reason a lot of people show up at the toll booth at the same time, a bottle neck is created, slowing down the operation of the toll booth, making people wait to get onto the roadway and causing short tempers and meltdowns. This can happen at your website. Too much traffic at one time can crash your site, especially if you don't have enough bandwidth. This problem is immediately alleviated with the use of a dedicated server.
You will no longer waste time building up a clientele only to have them turned away at critical times. Dedicated servers will always have enough space and bandwidth that you need for conducting and growing your operation. The dedicated server is more secure, and more reliable and will enable you to function smoothly for as long as you need or until you decide to change and update your system. Dedicated servers do cost more, however, the added cost is generally recouped quickly. In the long run you will probably end up saving money and improving your profit margins.
