Rss FeedLinux Dedicated Server Hosting
If you plan on placing a website on the Internet, you will need a good Web hosting company and a good Web hosting plan. When shopping for a good Web host, you will notice that there are a lot of packages and options to choose from. This can be a little bit confusing at first, especially if you do not know what all the options are or mean.
If you come across plans that are really cheap, they are probably on a shared server. When you buy a shared server hosting plan, your site is hosted on a server with a ton of other websites. This may work okay for some things but for business needs, this can be bad. One of the problems with a shared server plan is the fact companies oversell the capacity of the server. Not all sites will be accessed at once but if too many are, you will have a slow down or your sites may not be accessible for a little while.
A dedicated server is the way to go if you want good reliability and speedy load times for your websites. If you look at the hosting plans in the dedicated server area, you will see that there are both Windows dedicated servers and Linux dedicated servers.
Some people say that Linux dedicated servers are more reliable than Windows dedicated servers and so that’s what they choose when they get a dedicated server plan. When we choose hosting, we also chose Linux for that reason but hosting companies offer the same uptime guarantee on both types of plans. It is really up to you which one you choose.
We would say that both of these types will be just as reliable as the other but again it’s up to you what you choose. What is interesting about getting a dedicated server is that it will only be your sites on this server and it will not be shared with a ton of other websites.
A dedicated Linux server will cost more than a shared Linux server but it will be a whole lot better for business needs than a shared server would be. We know for fact that a shared server can experience slow load times because there is a lot of data which indicates this.
When getting a dedicated server, make sure you have enough hard drive space, RAM and CPU power for your needs. Having a faster CPU and more RAM can help your sites load faster and allow a server to be able to handle more requests at one time. This way, your sites load times will not slow down if several sites are being accessed at once.
