Secure Your Business With Dedicated Servers

Today was a crazy day at work.  Our server was down and we could not do anything but wait till it got fixed.  I really think it is high time our company seriously considers using Dedicated Servers to meet the demands of a growing business.

I was even surprised to know that a business like ours is still using a shared data server.  According to my husband, he cannot depend on a shared data server for his personal use let alone for business use.

My husband used to have a shared server and it would always be a pain for him whenever he needed tech support.  It was funny listening to him when he would try to explain the problem to the tech support guy who did not seem to understand him.

Actually, they did not understand each other not only because of a language problem but also because they did not seem to be on the same page.  My husband would get so frustrated while talking to this guy.

Having a shared server is like living in the same house with another family, sharing a limited space and resources.  In a shared server, if your site has more traffic than the rest, chances are they would be slowed down by your site or the other way around. The way a user performs would affect everyone else's use of the server.

A dedicated server is more secure because a user does not share it with anyone.  Also you have more freedom or control over it such that you can add software that you may need and you are not limited in the use of resources available for you.  It also performs fast and you have your own unique IP address.  You may add more space if you need to.

It is important that you pick the best provider of dedicated server that is capable and available every time you need their support.  Quality and cost of services should be considered.

Your productivity will be greatly affected if work is always interrupted like what happened to us at work today, just because of poor data server.  What is the use of paying for something that does not meet your needs?  For a growing business, having a dedicated server is the way to go.

This is a sponsored post however; all the points and views are my own.
