You’ve decided to start your own business and there is so much to be done. You need to create a solid business plan, find a good accountant and a good attorney, write a marketing plan, secure financing, create a sales strategy, hire employees, and so much more. Part of your plan is to have a comprehensive website for e-commerce and customer management, but you realize you won’t have the space for the server in the new office, and there are concerns about equipment upkeep and costs.
Dedicated hosting might be for you, as it allows a business to lease an entire server for its own private use. Instead of having to share virtual server space with other companies and individuals, this type of hosting gives the business pre-configured, modern equipment and connectivity from a separate host location.
Is dedicated hosting for you?
This type of hosting works best for companies with more sophisticated technological needs like utilizing databases, streaming media, email marketing, more than one website and more. Also, the customer needs to have some sort of IT competency and knowledge of server administration to be able to maintain the system. If you need these types of capabilities, then choosing dedicated hosting will result in less overhead costs and a larger return on interest.
There are many benefits to this type of hosting including the customer has total control over their web presence, can customize the operating system, choose the software, and customize the multimedia and e-commerce programs. Also, when you have dedicated hosting, the host company is completely responsible for replacing hardware, maintaining the server equipment, and repairing any problems. This can save the customer lots of money in the long run. The customer will also save money by being able to choose specific disk space requirements, CPU speeds, and only select the hardware they need.
There is also the advantage of knowing your server is being monitored every day, all day. With that, you will never have to worry about your network crashing and being down all weekend missing out on valuable selling opportunities.
Dedicated servers are typically located in large data centers and the actual equipment is owned by the dedicated hosting company. There are numerous companies like this, so be sure to do your research before choosing the right one for your company. Prices will vary depending on bandwith, types of hardware and software being used and more.
