Top 10 reasons why a dedicated server<\/a> will serve you well.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Dedicated servers were once deemed luxuries that only top-tier e-commerce players with thousands \u00e2\u20ac\u201c or even millions \u00e2\u20ac\u201c of hits each month could possibly afford.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Unlike shared hosting, where multiple sites are hosted on a single server, dedicated hosting allows companies to rent the entire server. You\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve probably heard all the sales pitches promising shared servers are just as good \u00e2\u20ac\u201c and lots cheaper, right?<\/p>\n

Not anymore. There are scads of reasons why that old assumption is just plain wrong.<\/p>\n

Here are 10 of the most vital incentives for migrating to a dedicated server:<\/h4>\n
    \n
  1. No sharing for the security-minded<\/strong>
    \nSecurity issues should be top of mind for any Web site owner. Consider this equation: limited access = greater security. In fact, the most secure dedicated server providers don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t maintain access themselves, ensuring that only you have root privileges.<\/li>\n
  2. Ready for greater reliability?<\/strong>
    \nA dedicated server is all yours. You don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t have to worry that another site will slow down, or crash your server. You don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t have to be concerned about exceeding the shared bandwidth allotment and getting slews of bounce backs on your latest e-mail campaign blast. In other words, dedicated servers offer greater reliability than their shared counterparts.<\/li>\n
  3. Powering up performance<\/strong>
    \nDedicated server users aren\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t forced to share their server\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s power with anyone and everyone else the host decides to rent to. That means your pages will load more quickly and server-side applications will execute faster and more reliably.<\/li>\n
  4. Manage multiple domains<\/strong>
    \nWant to host more than one site on your dedicated server? Go ahead \u00e2\u20ac\u201c it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s your call. You don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t have to ask anyone\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s permission and you don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t have to share unless you want to. Shared server plans, by contrast, force you to purchase a new subscription for every new website.<\/li>\n
  5. Enjoy ultimate flexibility<\/strong>
    \nDedicated servers let you install only the software you want \u00e2\u20ac\u201c and let you configure it to suit your needs. With a dedicated server, you don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t have to use Web analytics applications that someone else chose. You can\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t say the same about a shared host.<\/li>\n
  6. Upgrade to meet your needs<\/strong>
    \nWho knew you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122d go from zero to 100,000 hits in a single month? Adding extra capacity \u00e2\u20ac\u201c whether it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s RAM, disk space or a faster processor \u00e2\u20ac\u201c is a snap with a dedicated server. Shared server hosts may not allow you to cherry pick features.<\/li>\n
  7. Your own unique IP Address<\/strong>
    \nIs your search engine ranking lower than you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122d like? Part of the reason could be that shared servers allocate one IP address to many users. Set yourself apart with a dedicated server \u00e2\u20ac\u201c your IP address is yours alone.<\/li>\n
  8. A firewall all your own<\/strong>
    \nOn a dedicated server, you can use the firewall that best meets your needs and configure access policies that are right for you. Why let a shared host choose this security feature for you?<\/li>\n
  9. Remote control rebooting<\/strong>
    \nWhen your server is down, do you really want to wait on tech support at your shared host provider for a response to the issue? Downtime means lost profits. Dedicated servers allow you to reboot the system, remotely, whenever you need.<\/li>\n
  10. Peace of Mind<\/strong>
    \nUnless you purchase a server and the necessary bandwidth yourself, the provider owns the dedicated servers. That means you always get the latest technology, and the provider carries the risks involved with hardware ownership. If your server fails, it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s up to the provider to repair or replace it \u00e2\u20ac\u201c at their expense.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    A dedicated server can be integral to the success of your business, and you owe it to yourself to research the options available to you. Since dedicated server prices start at around only $30 per month, you may find that your business can\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t afford to miss out on the reliability, security, and opportunities for growth they provide.<\/p>\n
