subject: Dedicated Servers A Great Solution For Large-scale Websites [print this page] To the technically uninitiated the phrase dedicated server can seem a little baffling. Heres some background information to help you decide whether its a suitable route to pursue for the hosting of your website.
Initially a website may just be a simple showcase for a company or organisation made up of maybe a few pages, consisting of text and graphics. In this scenario the option of leasing space on a shared web hosting server, alongside other site owners, is perfectly reasonable. The setup is not unlike living in a rented flat in a block.
However, some websites grow and change over time, becoming increasingly complex. If you run a company website, you may be required to add an e-commerce component. A forum may be added for customer support services. These components will doubtless be underpinned by a database, adding further complexity to the web hosting requirements.
Moreover, a marketing campaign may result in increased users over an extended period. This new scenario could require increased bandwidth to cope with the traffic growth, and more hard disk space to accommodate the new features.
Essentially, you would have a need to move out of your block of flats and get a house all to yourself, in other words a dedicated server: a server dedicated entirely to your specific web hosting needs; enabling you to avoid those early compromises.
