If you’ve checked the online dedicated servers, you have noticed that there are many different choices/options available.You can opt a Dedicated with good amount of Bandwidth at affordable price. The type of dedicated server you opt depends on the following factors:

1) How much traffic you get on your website?

If you get a heavy traffic, or if you are expecting to receive lots of traffic on your website then before selecting any Dedicated server you want to make sure that you get the good amount of Bandwidth. Bandwidth is what enables the Dedicated server to channel visitors to your website.

2) How much space do you need?
If you have databases on your website, like forums where visitors or members can discuss on different concepts, or an e commerce website where customers can choose products from your website and place in their carts and return at a later date to order articles. These databases requires much space.

3) What about security?
If you have an online shopping websites where you are collecting details from customers such as their credit card number, name or address, you have to protect this information by ensuring that your Dedicated server is secure. If you have a business website which is only for employees of members of your company then you want to ensure that only employees can access the website, otherwise some of your confidential information may be released to the public.

4) Why most of the business website owners choose to have a dedicated server?
Unlike the shared servers, dedicated server only host your website and no other website is hosted on the same server. No doubt it is slightly more expensive than shared hosting plan but it can be very beneficial to the end. If you share a server with other websites, they will naturally share all resources available on the server. For example if you need more Bandwidth then it may interfere with traffic to your website.  Security is always a problem when it comes to business website. If you will consider a  dedicated server, you can have complete control over the security server and your website. This can be valuable when dealing with customers or confidential information.

If you have a large business website, a growing business website or a website that depends on greater security, as a law firm, you should have a dedicated server instead of sharing a server with other companies.

Today I will discuss something related to page loading speed and how it can affect your ranking in Google Search Engine.

I have done lots of research on this and I  came across many SEO forums, where they have recommended to use good specification servers for a website. It has been tested that, search engines are giving an importance to the loading speed of websites. So, if your server speed is dull or low then there is no chance to get indexed at the top positions in search engine however, if you will consider high end Dedicated server with good connectivity then there is a possibility you will get ranked in top positions. If one considers a Dedicated server with 100% power and network uptime guarantee and exceptional response time, this would definitely affect the performance of the website which will affect the search engine rankings of the website which will finally make an impact on the website sales. If you will design a website according to search engine robots and if you do lots of SEO for your website but if your website loading speed will remain slow, you will not be indexed in top pages of search engine. So to rank well consider a high end 100% uptime SEO servers.

There are many hosting providers who do provider SEO servers with good connectivity and 100% uptime.

There are 2 types of Dedicated servers one is managed and another one is Unmanaged Dedicated server. In this article I will explain the difference between Managed and Un managed Dedicated servers. Before choosing any one of them, it is very necessary to understand the complete difference between both of these servers.

What is Dedicated Server?
Dedicated server is physical servers placed in a data center that stores data is called a Dedicated Server. Dedicated server have a processor, hard drive and memory and their functionality is similar to a personal computer.

Types of Dedicated Servers:
1) Managed dedicated server
2) Umanaged dedicated server

The sameness and the advantages offered by both the types of dedicated servers can be understood by the way these servers work.

1) Unmanaged Dedicated Server:
When compared to Managed Dedicated servers, unmanaged dedicated servers are very cheap. In this web hosting service, your hosting provider will install all the applications that are required except the management done by you. This Unmanaged hosting provider will never provide any help, if you face any problem with the server, nor will they provide any upgrade for the applications/softwares. They will only  provide assistance if there is any hardware failure occurs or your data center needs rebooting. There are many hosting providers charge fees even for the minimal support they provide.

2)Managed Dedicated Server:
Managed Dedicated server always keep you hassle free, the hosting provider takes responsibility of all the admin functions such as installation of application and upgrades. They also provide assistance in case of any problem occurs. 3 factors should be considered before choosing any one of these services:

1) The hosting provider should have a good recognition and provide good 24×7 support.
2) Their terms of services should be fair enough and the cost of the server should be competitive and normal.
3) Before choosing you should also check the configuration of the servers they offer like bandwidth, RAM and HDD space.

Hence, unmanaged server will be a right option if you have technical competent staff to manage security and operations of the system. Otherwise, you should choose managed dedicated server option that will help handle troubles.

The delaying threat of low performance and security issues can affect very adversely to your web presence.  When you reach to this situation, you are doubtlessly best suited for a dedicated server.

Limitations of Shared hosting compared  to Dedicated server?
It has prove to be very common for web hosting providers to lease a server space for 100 and sometimes even 1000 of hosting accounts on the same Dedicated server. Depending on multiple reasons, some of these websites may start to experience problems as the server nears toward its extremity. Another very important point to note that is even though you have the capability to manage your website, the hosting service provider has control over the whole server. Therefore, if there are configuration and custom application that you will need, you just could be out of luck by not able to install it. To be honest, dedicated server removes/lifts all these restrictedness and several more by providing you with complete control over. From server configuration to custom software installations, you are free to incorporate the application/components you feel are best fit for your website.

Is owning a Dedicated server is a good option?

Leasing a dedicated server or to run your own in house depends on your budget and IT resources. When combining in all the costs and technical support, many find that the hosted option is the best way to go, as it is requires almost entirely less upfront investment and tends to be less complex as well.

Have you ever imagined, from where does the popular sites like Facebook, Twitter or any other high traffic websites is propagated? The only answer to this question is a Dedicated servers. Dedicated server is a server which is only assigned to the owner and other member do not have access to this server.

There are many advantages of Dedicated server from which one of the feautre is that Dedicated servers can connect from different locations with from one to two different remote users being on the server at the same time and the best part of this Dedicated servers is is that the management services are provided by the hosting provider from whom you rent these servers.In addition to this, if you pay some pounds more you get the offsite backup service. So, in the event your server is crashed or goes down then also your data and sites will remain safe.

As I said earlier the major advantage of a dedicated server is that it is basically yours and you don’t have to share space with others like other hosting plans. Another advantage is being remote location, which allows you to connect to your server from any other computer in the world that has connectivity to the internet. So in short you benefit yourself from dedicated server by owning up-to-date processor and large memory capacity that does not depend on what you have available to you wherever you are. All this features gives you the effectiveness of high quality and powerful performance.

Apart from all the features listed the additional benefit you will get is the hosting providers management service which comprises of team of proficient system administrators technicians who are constantly monitoring the server ensuring that your dedicated server is secure and running smoothly. all these support people are available around the clock for you and if something unexpected occurs which is promptly dealt with troubleshooting and this service is included in the fee for the server itself.

Generally big and established companies like Eukhost sustain their own dedicated server on location with their own technical support staff managing them and an average user computing demands are not that high that would require dedicated server. So the decision of leasing a dedicated server is most hairsplitting to the small business websites who doesn’t want to spend more on hosting for such customer there are many other hosting Plans like Email hosting, Shared hosting Plans, VPS etc….

Now it depends on your requirements whether you would like to go for a Dedicated or a Shared hosting plan.
