| Speed, reliability and increased
control are the three main reasons that businesses choose to put their web sites on
dedicated servers. Many who start with "virtual machines" quickly realize the
limitations involved within the virtual environment. Increased Control
When you are on your own box, you will
have the ability to tweak the system to your specifications. You have no
restrictions. If you want to add a software package or install a script, then you simply
add or install it. You are not limited by the approximately 250 other clients that you
would share a virtual server with.
Increased Performance
There is no doubt that being on your own
server is quicker when compared to a virtual hosting situation. On a virtual machine, you
are sharing system resources (ram, processor time, etc.) with 250 other domains. When you
are on your own server, you have all the system resources dedicated to your customers. You
don't have to worry about someone else's site causing problems. On a virtual server, if
another client writes a script that taxes the system resources it affects your site. On a
dedicated server, this situation never arises.
Increased Security
The Network Operations Center (NOC) is
equipped with industry-leading Liebert uninterruptable power supplies (UPS), raised
flooring, Halon fire protection system, and stand by custom built servers, all located in
a secure, monitored, manned facility.
The network is OnNet with Frontier
GlobalCenter and Qwest Communications through two separate bandwidth-on-demand
connections. Our NOC sits right on both their backbones for optimal redundancy and
routing.
Finally, our friendly technical
support department stands ready to assist clients with their technical questions. Please contact us today to learn how a dedicated
server for your site can help make your hosting experience better. |
