Introducing benefits of Dedicated Server can be the part of initials/basics of hosting. The previous posts can be helpful for you to know how really can a Dedicated Server be helpful and beneficial. However, I would like to shortly bring all at one place to make it easier for visitors to locate the benefits without any efforts. As you all know that in order to launch a website, the most important thing is kind of hosting you select, hence it becomes essential to know the hosting options available. Most of us know the types of web hosting services available starting from shared web hosting service, virtual web hosting service, semi-dedicated web hosting service, and dedicated web hosting service. Among the options available, virtual web hosting server and dedicated web hosting server are power-packed and very versatile.
For the new users the Shared web hosting service or the VPS/Semi-Dedicated Servers features might be suitable, however, they could face problems associated with them. It is simply because these two types share the web server among multiple users. The shared environment of a web server cannot fulfill a professional site’s requirement. Such sites might need a complete control over the web server. Also, control over the resources like web space, bandwidth and the privilege to install additional software and applications is a part of efficiency.
The top quality professional websites hardly accepts instability and less reliability of shared web servers. Hence, considering any of the Dedicated Server is only the best solution. If you want your website to run independent of other users, the resources to function reliably and get 24/7 nonstop performance then the Dedicated Server is the the way for you to go. With Dedicated hosting service, you not only get the complete control over the Web Server but also on the hardware and software that are used to run it.
If you look Dedicated Servers with the support point of view, you can be assured for the top quality support. It is a common practice to offer top quality service and support to the top customers. If you own a dedicated server, you are one of the top customers for the hosting company and hence you must receive the top level of their support. The hosting provider would not only look after the maintenance and the uptime of your server but also take care of the applications and hardware installed on the server.
Opting for dedicated server assures you no problems with memory allocation, bandwidth, the disk space. You will also not undergo any other system errors that the shared web servers normally face. However, you may find a dedicated server to be expensive at times as it needs the actual hardware, operating system, and other necessary applications and tools to be installed for just one customer. Hence, it is recommended to be considered only if it is affordable for you.
Shall I colocate or lease a server?

If you are on shared hosting plan or are hosting a site on VPS, you may need to upgrade in future as the traffic of your site increses. We have seen when do you need to consider Dedicated Server. However, there is one more service offered in this industry. It is known as “Co-location”.
When you have decided that you need a dedicated environment which would be non-shared, you look for either Dedicated Server Hosting or Colocation. It is really an important decision to be made. There are many comapnies offering Managed Dedicated Servers and Colocation. Let us see if you really need to colocate a server or leasing a dedicated server is the fine solution for your hosting needs.
To understand what actually colocation is, I would say it as: The service where customer’s resources or hardware are hosted in hosting provider’s data center. The hosting provider is only responsible for offering Power and Connectivity. If you are looking for colocation then you are responsible to provide hardware, hard drives, wires and all other resources required.
Colocating a server gets expensive when you pay for the resources, hardware and the hosting provider asks you for an amount that equals to the cost of dedicated server. Be notified that this charges are only for the power and connectivity that a hosting provider offers to you. Also, there you will be responsible for any kind of hardware failure. Thus, making the service more expensive. If you need more resources in future then upgrade also needs to be done by you. Hosting provider may also charge you an additional cost if you need high connectivity speed.
So far, I believe that leasing a Dedicated Server is only the solution for you. If so, when shall you opt for Colocation of a server? Yes, there is a time when you shall colocate a server rather than leasing a dedicated server. If you have more boxes or hard drives, you have multiple dedicated servers then you shall opt for Colocation Server.
