Dedicated
Server
Renting
dedicated servers is all about control, resources and flexibility.
With your own box you have full remote admin control and
unlimited flexibility over software installation. With
your own box, constructed to your requirements from premium
Intel hardware, the server's entire resources are exclusively
available to drive your business applications. The rental
advantage helps you manage your costs without hardware
outlay and upgrade as your requirements scale.
Choosing
the right web hosting package and provider is a crucial
decision for modern organisations. You need to make certain
that your requirements are properly met by whatever solution
you choose and that, as well as offering a reliable daily
service, your provider has the flexibility to deal fluidly
with any changes in your needs over time.

Three of the key reasons for choosing a dedicated server over shared
hosting are:
Speed - Having your own server means that the processor, memory
and disks are working just for you. Your site will not suffer due
to excessive traffic to other peoples' web sites, so you can take
full advantage of the resources available.
Security - No server can ever be 100% secure but if you are serious
about data security a dedicated server is the best option. Shared
server hosting is fine for smaller websites, but we would advise
that anyone with a more complex site or storing customer or sensitive
details maximise their control over security issues by using a dedicated
server. If you are serious about e-commerce, you should also consider
a thawte certificate.
Scalability
- Growing businesses may need to change
rapidly. Dedicated Servers can
be relied upon to be ready to grow your hardware solution with you
at your pace, and will help you manage any upgrades to minimise downtime.
