Why is Dedicated Web Hosting so
Great?
Dedicated web hosting allows you build your
websites quicker with greater security, reliability, uptime,
and flexibility.
Security
With dedicated web hosting, you are getting
your own personal server. That means no sharing
the server with all the other members who have an
account with the respective hosting company. If there was
some kind of security breach with the shared servers then you,
and along with many others hosting accounts could have their
information breached.
With your own private server, you are
in control of the security. You can scan for
viruses right on your cPanel, which you wouldn’t be able to
with shared hosting. The server is always kept up to date
with security updates.
There is also constant 24 hour server
monitoring. If there is some kind of hosting error with
you site(s) you will be notified instantly via email.
Uptime
With a dedicated server, each domain/website
you own has its own personal bandwidth. As
opposed to shared hosting, in which all of your domains are
sharing the allotted bandwidth. So with shared hosting,
if you’ve got a couple of sites that are getting a lot of
traffic, then the other sites on your account have less
available bandwidth. What that sometimes causes is
websites to crash as well as have slower load times.
If you’ve got new websites, then bandwidth
usually isn’t an issue, because it usually takes some time for
your websites to start brining in large amounts of
traffic. However, when traffic starts to build, you need
to know that your sites will be able to handle the traffic.
With shared web hosting you could run into having the problem
of using too much bandwidth as it is spread across all of your
sites.
Flexibility
The real BIG perk to having dedicated web
hosting is the fact that all of your domains are separate of
each other. With shared web hosting, after your first
domain, all of your other sites are sub domains or add-on
domains of your first. So for example if your first
domain was called “firstsite.com” all other preceding websites
would be a subdomain of firstsite.com. So as far hosting
is concerned, your secondary site would be listed as
firstsite.com/secondsite, firstite.com/thirdsite and so forth
and so on.
Now, as far as the rest of the world is
concerned, they are all separate websites. When somebody
goes to each of the respective domains they will see different
websites. But because they are hosted as subdomains of
the primary domain, you will not be able to sell the website,
if you ever choose to. Because it is connected to that primary
domain, it can’t be treated as its own entity for reselling
purposes.
With dedicated web hosting, each of your
domains have no connection to each other, They have their own
personal cPanel, FTP, bandwidth, etc.. which means you can sell
your websites without having any problems.
Currently the best deal on the market is coming
form ServerPronto.com. You can get your own dedicated
server for $29.99 a month. There are some setup fees and
other additional fees if you choose to use them. But most
dedicated hosting plans can go for hundreds of dollars a
month.
