The Best Way To Ensure A Website Is Fast And Reliable Is With A Dedicated Hosting Server

By Liliana Mills


A dedicated hosting server is when a client leases a dedicated server that isn't shared with anyone else. It's the most flexible option and can be fully customised to the requirements of the customer. Typically they are hosted at data centres offering a higher level of reliability. While more expensive than other options it still saves money compared to hosting at a company.

A hosted website is highly flexible. With the client's own remote server the customer is able to define their hardware requirements and request upgrades. For example some users prefer to use a Microsoft based system due to familiarity and the availability of experienced administrators while others prefer the slightly cheaper and typically faster Linux options.

A premium option is Complex Managed Hosting. When having specialised staff at the business is not a realistic option it can be significantly cheaper to have a managed system. The cost of hiring specialist staff is substantially reduced although this option is the most expensive.

Different levels are possible so it can be customised to the needs of the business. For example when a new site is set up the administration level is usually very high for the first year but when the site is established this can be reduced to an update and maintenance level.

It is important for a website to be secure. Managed solutions have the advantage that certain levels of security are guaranteed. Specialists carefully monitor security news and test the latest security updates before applying them. They also monitor sites for patterns of attack such as a DDoS or brute force attack. Spyware and virus detectors are applied and regularly updated to ensure the best practices are maintained to reduce risk.

Prevention is better than cure. Proactive administration detects possible security flaws. One way of doing this is checking the hosted side for malicious code or flaws in the system that would allow it to be posted. For example a hacker might add a script to a link that will be invisible to a user but would allow them to directly connect to a vulnerable system. This would allow the hacker access to the hard drive and webcam of the exploited system with all the risks that entails. By preventing this pro-actively it reduces the risk of breaches that would require more hasty reactive support.

Upgrading is relatively cheap. As the hardware is owned by the provider the site owner does not need to buy new equipment when upgrading to a faster system or requiring extra storage space. While these will incur a higher fee the change on a hosted site is much quicker than on a local server.

A dedicated hosting server ensures that the optimum levels of stability, security, customisability and control are maintained. For businesses with a high volume of web traffic this is the best solution. When remote experts are required a Complex Managed Hosting solution can ensure the best processes are maintained when setting up, managing and updating the site.
