The Advantages Of Getting Your Own Dedicated Hosting Server

Most businesses start their journey on the Internet with a shared hosting account at some or other hosting company

. At that stage your website requirements are rather basic and you normally don't need a dedicated hosting server.

As time goes by, however, your needs become more sophisticated. You want more control over what happens to your website. When you share a server, you often share it with more than a thousand other websites. Whenever something goes wrong, all the websites on the server are affected. It's at times like these that you'll start wondering about whether you need to switch to your own server.

There are two ways you can go about to get a dedicated hosting server. The first possibility is to buy a new server and then agree with a data center to co-locate it with them. In this case you will pay a monthly/yearly co-location fee. You will need staff to manage the server, fix it when it breaks and to keep the server software updated.

Very often a small business doesn't have staff with the required skills to do all this. Your best solution then is to rent a dedicated hosting server from a data center/hosting company. When you rent, you also have 2 different options: the first is to manage the server yourself, in which case the skills problem can arise again. The second option is to rent a fully managed server. In this case the data center or hosting company agrees to keep the server in a perfectly running condition and to do all the necessary software updates regularly. If you have a problem, their support staff will be there to help you out.

This last option provides you with the best of 2 worlds: you will have your own server, on which you can install whatever you want, and you do not need to worry about other people doing something to bring it down. You also don't have to worry about routine server maintenance.

For a growing business that is no longer happy with the limitations of a sharing a server, a managed dedicated hosting server is therefore the perfect solution. You don't need highly trained people to run the server, because most of them comes out with a control panel which makes it very easy to manage basic tasks.
