Dedicated server hosting<\/a> is a type of hosting in which you (the client) have a server that is entirely your own, with no neighbours. Dedicated server hosting means that the server on which your site is located is entirely yours. Although the pricing of dedicated servers will be higher than what you pay for shared hosting, there are many benefits that justify the cost.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

When do you need a dedicated server?<\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t

1. Increase of Traffic of Your Website<\/h3>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t

Shared hosting plans will automatically limit bandwidth and allowable website traffic. If your website is particularly busy or expects a lot of growth, dedicated hosting may be the best option to improve usability and user experience.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t

2. You are dealing with confidential information<\/h3>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

The more protection your information and website visitors’ information need to be protected, the more you should prefer dedicated hosting.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

With shared hosting, you never know who your server neighbors are, which may leave you vulnerable to malware attacks, rough sites, etc. You can also enhance SSL security with a single IP address to further protect sensitive financial and transaction information.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t

3. The Search Engine Rank and SEO is your lifeblood<\/h3>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Similarly, because you can share the server with almost anyone, if your server neighbor is an adult website or spam, then the ding on the IP address will also affect your website and automatically lower your search engine rankings.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

No SEO effort can overcome flagged IP addresses, so if you need to rank high in search results, you may need a dedicated server.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t

Why do you need to use a Dedicated Server for your website?<\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t

1. Have your own IP Address<\/h3>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Since each individual server has its own IP address, a dedicated server plan means that the IP address is yours and yours, unlike shared hosting. This reduces the risk of neighboring sites becoming spam or adult sites, which will automatically lower your own site\u2019s ranking on search engines.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Dedicated IP addresses are especially important for large e-commerce businesses that require SSL to process credit card payments.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t

2. Flexibility<\/h3>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

You never know how your business will grow and expand, and a dedicated server allows you to customize it flexibly according to your needs.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Unlike shared hosting, you are also not limited in terms of applications, CPU, RAM, software, operating room, etc., so you can build as needed and maintain control of the site presentation.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t

3. No limitations<\/h3>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

With shared hosting, there are multiple sites on a single server, which automatically means the upper limit of bandwidth, website traffic, etc. Since you are not sharing resources on a dedicated server, you do not restrict the fairness between neighbors on the name.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t

4. Enhanced Security<\/h3>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

The biggest reason why many companies choose to use dedicated servers is of course security. Because you do not share physical space, you have complete control over your server, which means stricter network security.<\/span><\/p>

In the shared hosting world, you never know who your neighbor is, and if they are doing shady things or relaxing and safe on their own, this usually affects you as their physical space neighbor.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
