What is a Dedicated Server
A dedicated server is, or should be the choice of growing internet businesses. Simply put, a dedicated server is a server that hosts your website and only your website. It is never shared with anyone else and is therefor the ultimate for anyone seeking to be successful via the internet. Most businesses start out sharing space when they jump on the internet. And that may be alright for a time. But as your business expands, you will need more and more space for your own stuff. A dedicated server will cost substantially more than the cost of the a shared situation. The purpose, after all of the shared server is to spread around the cost of doing business among several businesses in order to lessen the cost of doing business for all.
With a dedicated server your business is footing the entire bill, because the whole server is at your disposal. No need to worry about what the other guy is doing. No need to worry about whether or not you have enough bandwidth to enable your clients and customers to find you. While it will cost more to run a dedicated
hosting, in the long run it will save you money and boost your overall profitability. Having more space enables you to expand forums, give your customers shopping carts, etc. A shopping cart is a kind of database that all growing businesses need in order to continue to grow.
Added space and additional bandwidth allows the dedicated server to direct customers to your website. When you share bandwidth with other websites you can lose customers because they run into a bottleneck when attempting to access your website. The customer, in this instance will usually assume that you are out of business or down for the day and many won't bother to come back again, according to studies done on the issue. Dedicated servers do away with these problems allowing your business to make great and successful strides. A dedicated server
hosting, in addition to costing more, may also come with some start up costs, but should pay for themselves in the long term.
