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.
