There are literally thousands of different web hosting options available for your website, which can be overwhelming to a business owner. Unfortunately, most choose a solution based on price, and hosting is one area where you do NOT want to go for the cheapest option.
A website is one of the biggest assets for a company, so making sure it runs optimally should be a major priority. Thus, a dedicated server is a smart investment.
What is a Dedicated Server?
A dedicated server is a web host that create a single server for one company or organisation. Server resources like CPU, memory, and storage are dedicated to a single client, as opposed to shared hosting, which as the name suggests, “shares” the resources across multiple websites, sometimes hundreds.
This also opens up websites to cross-contamination. If someone else’s website on the same shared hosting gets hacked, you’re at greater risk to getting infected too. If you value your website, you should be looking at a dedicated server.
Here’s how a Dedicated Server can improve your website:
Performance
Our servers come with extremely fast loading times, since all the resources are exclusive. They powered by Intel Xeon™ scalable processors, for optimum performance and speed.
40% of users abandon a website if it takes longer than 3 seconds to load, underscoring the importance of fast page load times for user experience and retention. Not only do faster speeds improving UX, they also help SEO.
Security
A dedicated server has much higher levels of security than a shared host. Your data remains safe since only authorised personnel can access the server. Network border protection prevents DDoS attacks and mitigates threats in seconds.
A premium software such as Imunify 360 protects linux based web servers and all hosted websites against malware infections, web attacks, vulnerability exploitation and all other threats.
Customisation
Being able to tailor your server setting according to your unique needs allows ease of use, thanks to layout customization, API integration, and advanced functions like custom logins and dashboards, as well as personalised website migration services.
Reliability
A dedicated server ensures better performance, meaning less chances of downtime. This is very important to build customer trust and loyalty.
Setting up the solution using RAID (Redundant Array of Independent Disks) also increases reliability. It is a storage technology that combines multiple disks into a single logical unit. Data is distributed across the drives allowing one drive to fail without the web server going offline meaning your website will be online at all times.
Scalability
With dedicated servers, you are not limited to a fixed set of resources. As your business grows, your website can grow with it.
Our dedicated servers are based locally and are a carbon neutral hosting solution, meaning not only will your website be in the safest hands, but your impact on the environment will be significantly lower than with other hosting options.
