Dedicated Server vs. Shared Hosting
If your business is thriving and you're still in a shared hosting situation, then chances are you're losing money and customers. Why? Because you don't have enough bandwidth and space to really accommodate your growing business. What you need is a dedicated server. A dedicated server can offer many advantages over shared hosting.
Switching to a dedicated server will cost you more money up front. It may even cost you start up funds. However, it will give you freedom and flexibility like you've never had before. It will also give you the space you need to operate. Shared hosting is designed to save a lot of people a lot of money by spreading around the operating costs of doing business. This system limits the amount of space and bandwidth that each individual is allocated in the shared
web hosting situation. However, when a business begins using a dedicated server, then space is no longer limited. Costs do increase, but the ability to recoup the added costs, also increases. In the long run, your business will probably end up saving money.
Bandwidth is what enables your clients and customers to access your website. Bandwidth drives the traffic, which is any businesses' lifeline to success. You want a dedicated server because it will give you more space, more room for forums and shopping carts complete with a database, and it will, as mentioned before increase bandwidth driving in more and more customers, as well as bringing back repeat business. A dedicated server will help out if you have more than one website because you can operate all of your holdings on just one dedicated server. And, leasing the equipment from your service company rather than buying outright, will ensure that you're always using the latest, state of the art computer to conduct business.
Security is better in dedicated hosting over a shared web hosting situation. Your security is your and will keep others from accessing your server to hack or otherwise. You are also not at the mercy of the mistakes of the persons who might be on the other side of the partition in a shared hosting situation. The dedicated server hosting is yours and yours alone. There are many dedicated servers available, all that is needed is a little homework on your part to make sure the dedicated server is right for you.
