Why Dedicated Servers are Better than Virtual Hosting
Virtual hosting has made a lot of headlines in recent years, and most people are pretty well versed with the benefits a virtual environment will provide. What wasn't gotten as much of the spotlight, is why a dedicated server can and will always provide a better and more professional experience than even the best virtual server.
In a virtual environment, no matter the restrictions, resources are always split up, first with the server emulating your virtual environment, then with all the other virtual environments on the same server. Maybe even more worrisome, you're not just sharing resources, you're sharing vulnerability. If another virtual server is compromised, and goes way over resources in a spam or DDoS attack, you can be pretty sure that you're going to feel that attack too. Shared resources can easily mean shared problems. This isn't to say that there is no need for vps systems ever, as they are a great transition between shared hosting, and real dedicated server hosting, but it is good to keep in mind that they are best used in transitional periods.
With a dedicated server, you're running your operation the way you want to run it. Every last resource, every bit of memory, every byte of data, is under your control. You can have the tightest security, the most optimized kernel, and you can cut out all the fat that doesn't apply to your operation when you utilize your own dedicated server. There is nothing that compared to the raw power and razor sharp precision that a dedicated server can offer.
Another thing that you'll never be able to do on a VPS is upgrade. You may be able to have a few more resources allocated to you, a cpu cycle here, a vnode there. When you upgrade on a dedicated server, it’s easy and fast to double or quadruple your ram. It’s not problem to move from a 200 gig storage drive to a 2 terabyte raid array. You have the power and the ability to easily and inexpensively make sure that your system will match and exceed your companies growing needs with your own dedicated server.
The options in managed web hosting have exploded in recent years. Dedicated servers are now available at prices even the smallest businesses can afford, and options have exploded. There are choices in all directions. You have to be very careful to make the right one. We really think that your best solution is probably a dedicated server, and we'd love to talk to you today on how Singlehop can help make this goal a reality today.
