subject: E-commerce providers 'may benefit from dedicated web hosting' [print this page] Dedicated web hosting can benefit a range of organisations but there are some that may receive a particular boost by investing in it.
This is according to an article on lonad News, which suggested dedicated servers can be ideal for companies that sell their products or services over the internet.
Such options are a form of hosting in which companies lease whole servers that are not shared with any other enterprise or individual.
Because of this fact, they can be more flexible than shared hosting options.
They provide organisations with full control over their servers and this applies to the choice of hardware and operating systems, the news source added.
It stated: "Dedicated [web] hosting is a great option for many businesses [that] need to maintain a secure solution, locked down to just their own use.
"For example, for e-commerce providers or for mission critical applications where they require their site to not only be secure but continually available as they either generate revenue through it or their reputation depends on it."
It went on to note that a further advantage of having dedicated servers is that, if a problem arises, it can be fixed quickly and easily.
"Better still, you'll have the flexibility you need to keep your site running when traffic starts to come in leaps and bounds," it pointed out.
Keeping websites operational is crucial because if they crash due to the fact they are dealing with too much traffic, consumers may go elsewhere to seek the product or service they were after.
This means businesses experience a loss of revenue, which could spell disaster for them - particularly during these tough economic times.
The use of e-commerce solutions by businesses is rising as an increasing number of people opt to do their shopping over the web and this trend shows no sign of declining.
