Dedicated server hosting is a secure, customizable hosting option for many sites. When you're ready to officially launch your company's website, you should investigate which type of site hosting would be perfect for your business needs.
The options are numerous. Not only in terms of the server companies themselves, but also in terms of the type of hosting you need.
The two most common hosting categories are shared hosting and dedicated server hosting. Here's why the latter might be the best choice for your small business.
First and foremost, you need to know that with a dedicated server, resource sharing is a thing of the past! You have full access to the server's resources, and web pages run without CPU or RAM congestion. Dedicated servers greatly reduce the risk of downtime.
What's more, a dedicated hosting provider guarantees high performance and maximum security. If your business runs smoothly with lots of traffic, dedicated servers are more reliable and stable than shared hosting. Certainly, shared hosting invites malicious websites and spammers to access your web page, while dedicated hosting enhances the security of sensitive transactions.
Another very important point: unlike shared hosting, which will limit you to pre-loaded parameters, dedicated servers allow you to customize your offering according to your requirements, whether in terms of memory, storage space, etc. You have the choice to have total control, and that's what dedicated servers offer! At EVOK, we customize each vServer with additional memory, vCPU, SAN storage, without bandwidth limitation to meet your specific needs.
It's also worth noting that each server has a unique IP address, but a single IP address has multiple websites in shared hosting. As a result, spam sites push your site down because they're not managed properly. In contrast, dedicated sites offer unique IP addresses, widely used for e-commerce sites and secured by SSL.
Finally, and contrary to what you might think, dedicated server hosting remains a cost-effective way of accessing a complex application. In the long term, integrating your website into dedicated hosting lets you concentrate on what's important: your core business and, ultimately, your growth. A dedicated hosting service provider manages server construction and maintenance costs, and reduces corporate overheads.
As a website grows in popularity and the number of visitors increases, the resources available on a shared server can become limited. This can affect performance and user experience on your site in an era where user experience is becoming a crucial, if not defining, element. At this point, it becomes imperative to switch to a dedicated server.
With a dedicated server, you don't have to worry about your website's speed or potential downtime. However, choosing a dedicated server can be one of the most difficult decisions for a small business. Whatever your reasons for opting for dedicated server hosting, there are a few things you should look for in a provider.
Dedicated server hosting essentially means that your website has its own server. It offers immense power and flexibility, but usually comes at a price. So it's important to do your research before opting for this type of plan.
For example, most websites start with a shared hosting plan, but quickly outgrow this cheap shared plan. You can then opt to upgrade to a virtual private server (VPS).
In general, a dedicated server can be used to host applications and/or services, as well as for data storage and backup services. You can also use an in-house dedicated server to host and provision specialized services, such as file servers or dedicated networks.

In today's modern business world, security is and must be a key concern for companies in Switzerland. Indeed, when choosing a dedicated server provider, you should consider working only with suppliers who place a high priority on security.

Your provider must also guarantee that it has the appropriate firewalls, intrusion management, malware and virus prevention measures in place at all times. These hosting providers must also have reliable spam filtering techniques to guarantee data security. Once again, EVOK protects you from all this with its business-class firewall clusters.
Before choosing a dedicated server provider for your business, make sure they can offer technical support. A reliable dedicated server hosting provider should have a team available by phone and e-mail. This prevents your operations from coming to a sudden halt in the event of technical problems.
With EVOK, monitoring and maintenance of the entire network security infrastructure, datacenter and Hypervisior are included in the service. Depending on the version, maintenance and operation of the operating system as well as patch management and support for applications and services are also included.
When choosing a dedicated server supplier, it's a good idea to consider all the potential technological dynamics ahead. Your supplier should also have a wide variety of new hardware choices to meet your needs. In addition, make sure they have the hardware capacity to handle all your future growth objectives.
