With large and complex website that receives a lot of trafficyou may find that shared is not for you. It could belimiting your growth and the capacity to serve your customers.If you find yourself in this situation, it may be time to moveon to dedicated which offers many advantages over sharedhosting.
Dedicated web is much more expensive than shared hostingbecause the cost of operating the server is not divided betweenvarious accounts. Paying the higher price, however, lets you useall server resources as you please.
There are many different dedicated packages available.Their prices depend on the physical setup of the server computer- faster processors, mome memory and bigger hard drives costmore.
Managed hosting
Another factor influencing the price is whether or not theserver is managed. Keeping a server running in top condition canbe a time consuming task requiring certain technical skills.
A managed service offers the support and expertise tomaintain your server and to perform routine maintenance withoutyour involvement. This can be a viable alternative to hiringyour own staff to maintain your servers.
The drawback of managed is that it can be a lot moreexpensive than unmanaged hosting. Whether the price is justifieddepends on the complexity of your website and whether youalready have people who can look after the server operations.Unmanaged hosting
