Dedicated hosting is renting a server entirely for your own use. You will essentially have your own server, and can acquire all the hardware and software you need for running the platform. This is different from a virtual dedicated platform, through which you would only be able to control remotely.

      An unmanaged plan means that you will have complete control over the hardware, server, operating system, and network. Since this could be a large investment for any company, providers will lease the equipment out rather than sell it. This is an affordable way to control an entire network of websites and resources.

      There are many benefits of unmanaged dedicated hosting. You won’t need to share bandwidth and space with any other webmaster. You can optimize the database for your own sites. You’ll have complete control and flexibility over the types of programs you install, and won’t ever have to reprogram or upgrade your website to fit the server.

      Now, the downside to this type of hosting is that if you choose the incorrect hardware, you’re going to have a lot of problems. With that said, here are some tips for choosing quality dedicated hosting:

• Make sure that the hardware is optimized for businesses. The processor should be current, the memory should be adequate, the hard drive should include plenty of space, and the operating system and software should be up to date.

• As for the operating system, decide on Windows or Linux. Windows is easier to use for beginners, but Linux is ideal for developers because it offers more flexibility.

• If you’re running websites for gaming, videos, etc, you need to choose the fastest and strongest processors you can afford. You might even need multiple processors to handle everything. Determine your processing needs and choose accordingly.

• Customer service is essential. The best company should provide 24/7 support. There should always be somebody available to help you when you need it. The response time needs to be quick, so try calling or emailing a company before spending any money to test out their customer support.

• Think about your budget. Can you afford an advanced dedicated server? There are many fees associated with dedicating hosting: server fees, setup costs, bandwidth costs, software licenses, upgrades, security, etc. Also, consider the fees associated with upgrades as your company grows. You may need more memory and a better processor in the future. Whatever you do, never compromise on quality to save money. Put your needs before your budget.

      Follow these tips when choosing a hosting provider and sever. Make sure you choose a provider that offers a money back guarantee, and don’t forget about scalability. If you’re going to invest in dedicated hosting solutions, consider both the present state of your website(s) AND how you expect it to grow in the future.
