Author: Paras Shah Email: paras@vippowernet.com Website: http://www.vipwh.comHosting your personal or business web sites on your own dedicated server may seems expensive choice in comparison to shared web hosting, but at end, it proves a smart choice. Shared web hosting, no matter how well managed, cannot be 100% reliable and stable. However if you have your own dedicated server you can manage to avoid most of variables affecting reliability and stability of a server, commonly experienced by shared hosting accounts; variables such as: overload, bad codes and scripts from other users (especially beginners); and, too many applications and components uploaded, and so on.
On a dedicated server you will install only software and applications you want to use, while on a shared hosting server you will find a host of other software and applications installed for other users.
By very nature of account, a dedicated server: reduces your dependency on web host; and bypasses time delays and possible expenses incurred from these. With dedicated server hosting you can provide instant support to your own clients whenever required, which is not possible if you are on a shared server. A reliable and fast support service is vital for your own business growth just like stability and reliability you wish for your own website. In business, reliability is reflected through word-of-mouth as one of most effective promotional activities.
For people with clients, such as Graphic Designers and Web Designers a dedicated server is invaluable. A dedicated server will bring extra income into studio, not just as a hosting facility, but, as a designer knows only too well, for extra ‘bread and butter’ income value. If you have 24hour access to your own dedicated server then you can adjust, correct or update a clients website in minutes, allowing you to keep dollar back in your studio and not in someone else’s. Ready availability results in reduced labour costs for client, but higher studio-income frequency for designer. Hence you will see return of all your regular offline clients, bringing their web work with them.
