Virtual dedicated server plans offer the ideal combination of cost, flexibility and performance scalability – perfect for eCommerce stores, applications with moderate to heavy traffic loads and email servers.
Dedicated servers provide maximum hardware flexibility and visibility as well as advantages for bring-your-own license software, but are costly and require significant technical knowledge for maintenance.
Dedicated Resources
With dedicated server hosting, you will gain complete ownership over a physical server which is exclusively yours. This gives you full control of its hardware for greater customization and improved performance compared to shared or VPS options. Dedicated servers are an excellent choice for websites experiencing high traffic spikes or needing advanced security measures.
Virtual Private Servers (VPSs) offer an attractive compromise for those who do not require all the power offered by dedicated servers. With VPSs, users still enjoy individual memory access and CPU output without sharing their resources with other users on the same platform.
Dedicated servers differ from other options by providing you with a unique IP address that you can use to connect your website directly to the internet, increasing security by preventing others from hacking in and stealing information. Furthermore, dedicated servers allow you to add firewalls and anti-malware systems for greater data protection as well as safeguard customers’ information.
Security
A dedicated server provides websites and applications with increased levels of security due to complete server isolation. Users may implement custom security configurations as desired. Still, security risks still exist – for instance using public networks for access could expose hosted data to hackers; as a result it’s essential that login credentials be changed regularly.
Businesses must use only those plugins and software necessary for running their websites, as unused software can provide cybercriminals an entry point into exploiting vulnerabilities on websites.
There are various hosting solutions to fit business needs and budgets. For example, Rad Web Hosting provides high-end Xeon servers with unlimited bandwidth, free SSL certificates, cPanel access and RAID 10 SSDs which increase disk reading speeds up to 10x; furthermore their US data centers are protected against DDoS attacks.
Scalability
VPS servers offer sufficient scalability measures if you anticipate a dramatic surge in traffic due to a new website or product launch, providing the ability to upgrade hardware as demand for your website increases.
Physical components of a dedicated server include a processor, memory (RAM), and storage unit managed by the hypervisor. As opposed to shared hosting solutions, dedicated servers are leased directly to individual users and offer them hardware flexibility, transparency and workload placement/control – as well as licensing opportunities to bring-your-own-license software applications.
OVH provides dedicated server hosting in various configurations and plans starting at PS138 per month, with fully managed solutions available with comprehensive DDoS protection and redundant network infrastructure in multiple data centers. Clients can focus on running their business while the provider handles server maintenance and monitoring; compliance standards like PCI or HIPAA may also be covered as needed.
Performance
Dedicated servers deliver superior performance for websites and applications. While shared hosting may suffer from traffic spikes that cause downtime, dedicated servers offer more privacy and flexibility in meeting high traffic needs such as those found in e-commerce platforms or resource-heavy blogs. Plus, they come equipped with advanced security features designed to protect against DDoS attacks while speeding page loading speeds up significantly.
A2 Hosting‘s dedicated virtual server hosting plans come equipped with 16GB RAM, 2TB HDD storage capacity and unmetered bandwidth – in addition to root access so you can customize the hosting environment as you see fit – along with root access that enables customization.
