Virtual Hosting vs. Dedicated Servers
Shared Server:
Shared servers offer clients the ability to host their Web site on a powerful, professionally managed server, at a low monthly cost. Shared servers provide individual Web sites with redundant connectivity, 99 percent uptime and 24/7 monitoring for a fraction of the cost of a dedicated server.
- Shared Server Intended Clients and Uses - Shared servers are an excellent solution for entry-level hosting needs. Designed to host small scale e-commerce sites and static Web pages, shared servers offer first-time Webmasters a reliable Web presence without advanced technical skills.
- Shared Server Response Time - The activity of other sites and the number of other sites on the server can affect shared server performance.
- Shared Flexibility and Scalability - As you are restricted to the server box space, upgrade capacity is primarily focused on disk size and throughput.
- Shared Server Software - Shared Servers are limited to the software that is installed by hosting provider.
- No technical skills required to use a shared server - Shared server hosting provides a cost-effective way for entry-level Webmasters to maintain a reliable Web presence without extensive technical resources.
Dedicated Server:
Dedicated servers are a single computer fully devoted to the needs of one customer. They allow for faster access to information and provide the customer with greater flexibility to add advanced database and e-commerce applications. As the customer does not share RAM, disk space or a connection to the router, dedicated servers provide customers with the most advanced Web hosting solutions.
- Dedicated Server Intended Clients and Uses - Dedicated servers are designed for mid to advanced-level hosting needs such as "mission critical" and high-traffic sites. The servers can handle heavy data-driven sites, advanced e-commerce programs, video streaming, and multimedia programs.
- Dedicated Server Response Time - Server response time depends solely on the volume of activity on the customer’s Web site.
- Dedicated Server Flexibility and Scalability - All aspects of the platform (disk space, memory, etc.) are upgradeable since dedicated servers are single client machines.
- Dedicated Server Software - Unlimited ability to download software programs to your server.
- Advanced technical knowledge is recommended - Experienced programming and database capabilities. Dedicated servers provide high levels of security, connectivity and scalability, to support high volume and mission critical Web-based applications.
