Not all businesses require a dedicated server, but there are some very important benefits to consider when the time arrives to upgrade from shared server hosting or from VPS (Virtual Private Server) hosting options. A dedicated server is an option to avoid requiring a server on-site at your business, while still providing you with all of the benefits and none of the potential issues.
A Windows dedicated server hosting package provides the optimal solution for businesses with high bandwidth demands, with the need for specific programming and software applications and those requiring high levels of security for their company and their customers. Using Windows specific server hosting ensures that all Windows-based programs and software runs smoothly on the server since the whole server is dedicated to your application and it’s not shared.
Full Administrative and Root Control
The choice of Windows dedicated server hosting gives your company or IT administrators full control over the server. The server itself is in a remote location and is maintained by the hosting company.
This is a benefit well worth considering as the hosting service maintains the physical server, without the need for your in-house IT teams to have this additional task. These servers are also routinely upgraded to the latest models, ensuring top performance with the latest in processors without any additional investment in your business.
Top Security
With VPS server hosting there is some limitation to add security layers to your website, data and software. With the Windows dedicated server hosting, your business can set the security layers and features required to ensure industry standards are met and maintained or your own company security protocols can be implemented as required.
In addition, the use of dedicated server hosting using Windows or Linux operating systems also allows for configuration of the system, prioritization of processes in the server and full control over all access to the server. Click here for more information.
