Dedicated Hosting

Dedicated hosting is the weapon of choice for webmasters who want to run hundreds
of sites, or who have one or two very large sites that demand significant resources.
Examples of sites that benefit from a dedicated server include large discussion
forums, high-traffic news sites, image upload sites, video hosting sites, et
cetera.

Is it time to upgrade to dedicated hosting? Depending on the
traffic levels of your website, it may or may not be in your best interests
to utilize a dedicated server.

For most webmasters just starting out, shared
hosting is by far the best and most economic hosting option. Shared hosting
basically means that you are sharing server space with other webmasters, at
a relatively cheap cost (depending on disk space allotment and bandwidth). But
what happens when your website outgrows shared hosting? If your website is hit
with large amounts of traffic, congratulations! However, if you don’t
have enough bandwidth set aside from your shared hosting provider, your website
could go down. Chances are you don’t want that to happen! In addition
to the relatively low amounts of disk space and bandwidth attached to most shared
hosting accounts, you essentially have no control over your server.

The next step up the hosting ladder would be to use VPS hosting. VPS stands
for “virtual private server”. Basically what this means is that
you will still be sharing a server with others, however you will have specific
resources assigned to you that you have complete control over. In essence, VPS
hosting grants you root level access to your server, while simultaneously providing
the similar ease of use that comes along with shared hosting. You have your
own private server, but you are still sharing physical (and relatively limited)
resources. VPS hosting in most cases is more expensive than shared hosting.

So what about those webmasters with high traffic sites that need large amounts
of resources as well as complete control of their servers? That’s when
it’s time to upgrade to dedicated hosting. While generally more expensive
than VPS, dedicated hosting affords webmasters total control over their server
by utilizing an entire machine (100% of the CPU, RAM, etc). The capabilities
and limitations of your server are contingent upon the machine that is running
it. All of the highest traffic, highest ranking sites on the internet are run
on dedicated servers, if not on several of them.

If your website is relatively young and still growing, don’t get ahead
of yourself and jump to dedicated hosting prematurely, as it can be marginally
more expensive. Many hosting providers offer all three types of hosting, and
will be happy to upgrade your current server when it is necessary to do so.
Some of them will actually alert you beforehand to recommend an upgrade.
