Dedicated server leasing is an excellent option for those individuals or businesses who have a specific need to implement a highly customized server hosting solution. Should you go with dedicated server leasing? Or will a shared server account suffice for you? The answer depends on what your specific needs are.Before you make the determination whether to opt to go with dedicated server leasing versus using a shared server hosting account, you should evaluate your needs against this checklist below:
- Do you require root / administrator access to a machine in order to install custom software?
- Will you be hosting other customers or users on the system and need to maintain full administrative control over the machine?
- Do your disk space requirements exceed the limits imposed by most hosting service providers?
- Do you anticipate extremely high bandwidth, such as streaming media content, very large and very frequent downloads, or hundreds of thousands or millions of users hits per day, week, or month?
- Do you have a highly customized solution that would adversely impact the availability or performance capacity of other customer accounts who may be sharing the same shared server host with you?
- Do you have highly secure information and need to minimize the risk of exposing your data to becoming compromised by others who may be accessing the same system?
- Are you relying on the dedicated server for disaster recovery, business continuity, high availlability, or data back up purposes?
If any of the above 7 situations apply to you, then without a doubt, dedicated server leasing at a reputable data center makes sense for you.
Enjoy world-class excellence in web hosting like never before.
