You\u2019ve heard that dedicated web hosting was how to tell you\u2019ve arrived, so to speak, but you\u2019re not really sure if it\u2019s time to make the leap into that kind of arrangement. To be sure, a dedicated hosting plan can give you many advantages you aren\u2019t experiencing now, but you need to carefully consider whether or not it\u2019s worth it on several levels.<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s examine 5 of the most compelling reasons why you might need to rent a dedicated server.<\/p>\n

1. You Have Many Websites!<\/strong> \u2014 If you\u2019re in the business of running a mini-site empire, or a lot of feeder sites, then having all of your sites in one location, where you can control everything is a huge advantage! Very often you can also employ different IP addresses, so that you have a minimal footprint. This also obviates the need to install any custom scripts you may be using across other server platforms.<\/p>\n

2. Custom Software Configurations<\/strong> \u2014 When you are operating on a shared hosting platform, you have very little latitude regarding the types of scripts you can have running on their servers. They need to maintain a certain level of security and stability on the servers for all of their clients, not just you, so they are loath to take any chances that your spiffy new script won\u2019t open holes they won\u2019t be able to fix easily.<\/p>\n

3. You Need More Capacity!<\/strong> \u2014 This one is one of the clearest reasons. With a dedicated server you are limited only by the size of the server, and not by other people who may happen to be sharing it with you. This eliminates a lot of the issues associated with shared hosting, such as limited bandwidth, space and speed. You have the ability to use your server\u2019s capacity to your heart\u2019s content.<\/p>\n

4. Security<\/strong> \u2014 If the thought of all your website\u2019s or databases data sitting on a server that you share with God knows who, then you may well want to opt for a dedicated server plan. When you are renting the server, you are in control: configured to your satisfaction, with all the security layers in place that you want.<\/p>\n

5. You Need Better Performance<\/strong> \u2014 When it\u2019s all said and done the bottom line is you need a certain level of performance, and the only real way to ensure that is to be in charge of it. Dedicated hosting offers superb speed and accessibility, and you will likely never again have to worry about a slow response time.<\/p>\n

While there are several other issues to consider, such as price, your own technical skills (you need to be software savvy as you are the tech support!) and whether or not to choose a managed server, unmanaged, or a colocated server. Whichever way you choose, dedicated hosting offers a freedom and choice far superior to shared hosting, if you can handle the technical end.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
