Hosting Private Server - Are Shared Web Hosts a Liability?

So what are some of the advantages of subscribing to your own hosting private server, as opposed to signing up for one of those shared server hosting options?

1. If you are going to be doing a lot of heavy-duty custom development that involves installing and configuring your own custom application servers, deploying and maintaining your own infrastructure services, or have a highly specific need to develop your own custom solutions, then it makes sense to rely on a dedicated server option. You will have full control over the entire system, the use of its resources, what you can install on it, and how you configure and use it.
2. If you are concerned about application or website redundancy, disaster recovery, or high availability, then maintaining a hosting private server at a 3rd party location would be an excellent solution for your business continuity needs.
3. If you are planning on offering a service that effectively "subleases" space under your account, then you would be better off with a dedicating hosting private server, since you would potentially be signing up hundreds, thousands, or even millions of users. A shared server may not be able to meet your capacity demands.
4. If you are going to be requiring a lot of bandwidth and a lot of traffic then a dedicated server solution would make the most sense. If you are sharing bandwidth and operating system capacity with countless other applications on the same server, then you could adversely affect them, or vice versa.
5. If you require a significant amount of disk space, then it would be more cost effective to opt for a hosting private server.

The bottom line is that when you use a shared hosting server, then you are sharing the bandwidth, the disk space, the memory, and the applications that potentially hundreds or thousands of other customers may be using.

Enjoy world-class excellence in web hosting like never before.
