How A Dedicated Hosting Server Can Be The Fastest And Most Reliable Option

By Liliana Mills


A dedicated hosting server is when a client leases a dedicated server that isn't shared with anyone else. It's the most flexible option and can be fully customised to the requirements of the customer. Typically they are hosted at data centres offering a higher level of reliability. While more expensive than other options it still saves money compared to hosting at a company.

Hosted sites are the most flexible choice. Customers specify their requirements for both software and hardware and request changes. When opting for hybrid support some customers prefer to use a Microsoft server as more system administrators are available to manage them, others prefer a Linux system as these are typically both cheaper and faster.

Complex Managed Hosting is a premium option. When a higher level of administration is needed this is an option that doesn't require specialised staff at the company to look after the server. While it is the most expensive option, it is still significantly less expensive than hiring dedicated staff to do the same work.

Different levels are possible so it can be customised to the needs of the business. For example when a new site is set up the administration level is usually very high for the first year but when the site is established this can be reduced to an update and maintenance level.

Ensuring adequate security is maintained is vitally important. For example software producers regularly issue security updates however these need to be tested before they are installed on a live server. Monitoring can ensure attacks by hackers, such as a DDoS or brute force attack can be quickly detected and dealt with as quickly as possible. Experts monitor security news and ensure the best practices are maintained in a changing environment.

Prevention is better than cure. Proactive administration detects possible security flaws. One way of doing this is checking the hosted side for malicious code or flaws in the system that would allow it to be posted. For example a hacker might add a script to a link that will be invisible to a user but would allow them to directly connect to a vulnerable system. This would allow the hacker access to the hard drive and webcam of the exploited system with all the risks that entails. By preventing this pro-actively it reduces the risk of breaches that would require more hasty reactive support.

Upgrading is relatively cheap. As the hardware is owned by the provider the site owner does not need to buy new equipment when upgrading to a faster system or requiring extra storage space. While these will incur a higher fee the change on a hosted site is much quicker than on a local server.

A dedicated hosting server ensures that the optimum levels of stability, security, customisability and control are maintained. For businesses with a high volume of web traffic this is the best solution. When remote experts are required a Complex Managed Hosting solution can ensure the best processes are maintained when setting up, managing and updating the site.
