Dedicated hosting for secure servers

A dedicated server is housed in a data centre for security, and is the rental and exclusive use of a computer that includes a web server, related software and connection to the internet.

A website or a set of related company sites are what a dedicated server is usually needed for, so that a considerable amount of traffic can be built. The server is still owned and housed by the ISP in a secure data centre, for complete server security.

You have complete control when hosting on a dedicated server, which means you can take full advantage of all the benefits of a managed environment without purchasing the hardware outright, or paying more money for the housing of your server, maintenance and security updates.

Your website is independent when hosting on a dedicated server, as it is isolated from problems associated with having many sites on the same server, which is what happens with shared hosting.

With a dedicated server, you receive a reliable and fast support service. The technicians who answer your call are the people who build and maintain your dedicated server solution.

In comparison to shared servers, dedicated servers may seem expensive, but the benefits of a dedicated server far outweigh the drawbacks.

Increase your chances of making a sale with a dedicated server

Your chances of making a sale are increased with a dedicated server, because for any online business a website that is quickly downloadable and is always up gives your visitors the impression that your service is reliable.

Dedicated servers improve the image of your company and encourage existing customers to refer you. So for any serious website, having a dedicated server is a must!

There are 2 types of dedicated server hosting:

• Managed dedicated servers – Your ISP is responsible for the maintenance, backup and running of the server/software. This then leaves you free to focus on your business, and a managed dedicated server is a headache free hosting solution.
• Unmanaged dedicated servers - Unlike managed hosting, you are in charge of all your maintenance, monitoring and backup needs whilst still benefiting from having your own exclusive server.

Dedicated servers can be configured and operated remotely by you, giving you exclusive use and command over your website's server, increased download times and data storage, unlike shared hosting.
