· Whatis a dedicated server?
Unlike normal hosting plans, which put many customers' accounts on a single server,
a dedicated server is reserved exclusively for the account and usage of a single
customer. This means that the dedicated server customer has exclusive rights to
their server's bandwidth, memory, and storage space and performance is not affected
by traffic and the usage patterns of other customers.
When you purchase a dedicated server, you are actually leasing a server box that
is configured and set up according to your preferences, but remains at our data
center. A dedicated server account provides you with a dedicated IP address and
full control of server usage and software installation, with admin (root) access
to the server.
You can use a dedicated server for a wide variety of purposes, including gaming
servers, database management, and traffic-intensive Web sites. Dedicated servers
are particularly useful for companies and individuals who run very-high-traffic
Web sites or applications and who need the bandwidth, versatility, and consistent
performance of a dedicated box.
· What can I do with a dedicated server?
Unlike normal hosting plans, which put many customers' accounts on a single server,
a dedicated server is reserved exclusively for the account and usage of a single
customer. This means that the dedicated server customer has exclusive rights to
the server's bandwidth, memory and storage space; performance will not be affected
by traffic and usage patters of other customers.
All of our dedicated servers provide administrative access, which allows users to
run and install virtually anything on the server. As well, our dedicated servers
include enough bandwidth and disk space to host and manage multiple data-heavy Web
sites on a single server account.
Dedicated servers are particularly useful for companies and individuals that run
high-traffic Web sites or complex applications and thus need a level of bandwidth,
consistent performance, and flexibility typically not available on shared hosting
accounts. Dedicated servers are frequently used as gaming servers, as well.
· What can I do with a virtual dedicated server?
Compared to shared hosting accounts, a virtual dedicated server offers you more
power and more versatility.
All of our virtual dedicated servers provide administrator, or root access, which
allows users to run and install virtually anything on their server.
Our virtual dedicated servers include enough bandwidth and disk space to host and
manage multiple data-heavy Web sites on a single server account.
Virtual dedicated servers are particularly useful for companies and individuals
that run high-traffic Web sites or complex applications that need a high level of
bandwidth, consistent performance, and flexibility typically not available on traditional
shared hosting accounts.
· Choosing a hosting plan
In order to choose the right hosting plan, you’ll need to consider a few things:
- Design
-
How was your Web site designed? For example, if you designed an ASP or ASP.NET Web
site, you'll need to find a Windows hosting plan. If you have a Web site that uses
CGI, you'll need to get a Linux hosting plan.
- Traffic
-
How much traffic or how many visitors do you expect monthly? The more visitors or
traffic you expect on your site, the higher the bandwidth you will need.
- Size
-
How large is your site? If you're planning on having a large site with a lot of
multimedia content, you'll probably need additional disk space.
