The Reliability Of A Dedicated Hosting Server

By Liliana Mills


When a client leases a dedicated hosting server it means that the system is not shared with other customers. The requirements are specified by the customer allowing the system to be customised for their specific needs. Reliability can be ensured with the used of data centres. The cost of hosting a system within a company can be prohibitively expensive so a well administered remote system can save money.

Hosted means flexible. Customers are able to define their requirements for both software and hardware and specify when upgrades are performed. Many prefer a Microsoft based system due to familiarity and the availability of administrators with the appropriate experience, others prefer Linux servers as they are typically slightly cheaper and slightly faster.

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.

Custom support levels are possible allowing the administration to match the business needs. During the first year of a new or migrated site a much higher level of support is typically required. After the first year support can be scaled down to a level suitable for maintaining the site.

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.

Proactive support prevents problems from happening. Additional protection includes checking the vulnerability of the site for malicious code. An example of malicious code is when code is attached to a forum posting that redirects to another site that could leave a computer vulnerable to exploitation. This can be prevented by not allowing certain characters in the topics and content of forums and is an area that administrators are aware of and pro-actively prevent. Reactive support is fixing a problem after it has happened and providers try their hardest to not require this.

It is relatively cheap to upgrade. With the hardware entirely owned by the hosting company the site owner does not need to make any purchases themselves. The most common reasons for upgrading are to upgrade the processor, increase memory and increase storage. In some cases it may also be possible to downgrade. Non-routine upgrading typically results in an increase in administration fees but is usually much cheaper than doing the same with a server hosted with the customer.

For the optimum levels of security, stability, customisability and control a dedicated hosting server is the best option. For businesses that require a website that handles high levels of traffic it as a necessity. Complex Managed Hosting allows remote experts to manage the site, ensure it is reliable and follow the correct procedures for testing security updates and installing upgrades.
