Dedicated Web Hosting: Do You Need It?

By Terry Viscottano


The Internet has changed a lot and now, every business needs to have a website at the very least. A website allows a number of benefits-for instance, you can get business all day long. This is a major benefit for many businesses. Some, of course, may not have much use for it.

What does one need?

Web hosting is the first thing you will need. Why? Well, because without a web host, you don't get any space on a server and thus aren't able to host any files. A web host allows you have a website running throughout the day (and the night, of course). There is no single web hosting plan; in fact, there are multiple plans and that's what makes it a tad difficult.

Shared web hosting plans are a good start for sites that get a few visitors a month. Shared hosting plans are generally on the less costly side and since they are fully managed, they are great to take you off the ground. You can easily get started with a shared host without spending a few hundred dollars. There are, definitely, some restrictions.

Another well-known kind of web hosting is VPS. A VPS allows you to share a powerful server with numerous other people. A VPS can be great for sites that receive quite a bit of traffic but aren't very extensive resource hogs.

Dedicated hosting is another type of hosting. In simple words: it's an entire server that you pay for every month. It's for sites that get (a) a lot of traffic, and (b) are resource hogs. Tons of database queries? Do you need to run websites that will eat up resources fast? That's when you should choose a dedicated server.

Dedicated servers have another advantage: you can find them in any corner of the world. Want a server in Netherlands? That's possible. There are a number of uses of such a thing -- it's really up to you though. If cost is something you worry about, dedicated servers aren't for you.

You shouldn't hesitate in getting a dedicated server if your website needs it. If you are concerned about the price, you may want to look into dedicated servers available in different locations, not just the US.
