Hosting your business on the web
Own Your Home With A Dedicated Server
Dedicated hosting costs more, but offers more features
and benefits. With dedicated hosting, you're the only site on the server
and have your own IP address. A dedicated IP address used to be a
requirement for SSL (secure sockets layer) encryption, but some hosting
companies now offer it as part of virtual hosting packages.
Because you have the server to yourself, dedicating
hosting is more expensive. It's like owning a home instead of renting an
apartment. Like any homeowner, your costs will be higher, but there are
benefits to the arrangement:
- More control: You don't have to worry about someone's
bad script slowing or crashing the server. You have only yourself
to blame if that happens!
- Faster response with high traffic loads. Because the
server only responds to request for information from your site,
visitors won't have to wait in line to view your Web pages and
images.
- Easier setups. It's easier to set up the server to
handle anonymous FTP and SSL encryption if the server has a
dedicated IP address. This isn't impossible with virtual hosting,
it is more difficult.
Many virtual hosts don't offer it or
charge a premium if they do. If the host offers SSL encryption
with a virtual hosting account, make sure they set it up for you!
- No bandwidth penalty. Virtual hosting accounts usually
offer a certain amount of bandwidth per month to each site on the
server. Sites that go over their allotment get charged extra. But
dedicated hosting generally has no such restrictions because it's
assumed you need a lot of bandwidth if you require your own
server.
