Increasing profit while decreasing expenses is the key to any business success and growth. This is true for both physical locations for business as well as ecommerce sites or online purchase options offered as part of a physical business.
With more consumers shopping online than ever before, both ecommerce businesses as well as retailers operating websites offering merchandise, the performance of the website is critical. It is essential that pages load quickly, multimedia components of the website play correctly and that the top levels of security can be maintained in the payment process and the collection of customer data.
This means, for most businesses with significant traffic and data requirements, that dedicated web hosting is not just worth the cost, but also the only effective option. For small to mid-sized business VPS or virtual private server packages may be enough, but they do have their limitations and don’t provide all the root administrative privileges found in dedicated servers.
Security Considerations
A very big consideration for most businesses today is security. Preventing hackers and security breaches from accessing data stored in the cloud or on servers is critical from the operation and reputation of the business.
With the choice of dedicated web hosting, the business can have full control over the security features of the server. This includes adding the security configuration and systems best suited for your needs.
Performance Management
Optimizing the performance of your website and ensuring virtually 100% uptime of the site is possible with dedicated web hosting. The business will be able to prioritize the management of data and server functions and will also be able to determine and set the needs for disk space, RAM and CPU.
With no other users on the dedicated server, the business has the freedom to configure the service to meet their needs. Many top hosting companies offer very low rates on dedicated servers, which makes this an ideal option to consider.
