Grow Your Online Business With Managed Dedicated Servers

If you're an online business owner then you are aware that your e-commerce website is like your baby. Your online store is really like the child of your entire business, and your child's success depends on how you contribute to its development over time.

You want to nurture and take charge of your website's growth: You've got to make sure your design is attractive, that no links are broken or misdirected, and you need to confirm that your online store is healthy and in the perfect condition to make sales. Most of the time, you're going to need the help of some experts in order to best ensure the growth of your e-commerce baby. And the best way to do so is to entrust your online store to the expertise of a managed dedicated server hosting option.

So, if your website is like your business's baby: the server where your website is hosted is like the baby's room. You need a clean, safe and reliable server to house your "baby" so that it can grow and develop properly, without getting sick or infested with viruses and without being left unattended. As a business owner, you want to make sure your dedicated server (your baby's room) is in perfect condition with a reliable babysitter on hand.

Why Choose a Dedicated Server

With dedicated hosting you lease a complete server from a hosting company. Unlike a shared server or a virtual server (VPS), a dedicated server means all the resources are for your use only. You don't have to share space or resources with any other website but your own.

Dedicated servers are ideal for websites that get a lot of traffic (or hope to one day), sites that need a lot of bandwidth, rich media sites, and huge e-commerce sites.

Benefits of Dedicated Servers

            •  Great Response Time: A dedicated server will never keep your users waiting on content or purchases. Your site will be fast and hassle-free for those individuals buying products from your online store. Don't risk turning off impatient clients with a slow response time. Unlike a shared server, your dedicated server won't get backed up and it won't keep your customers waiting.

            •  Premium Tech Support: If you are not lucky enough to have a tech wizard on staff, a managed dedicated server if for you. With a managed dedicated server you have quality, reliable tech support from experts 24/7/365. Problems with your site or online store are MUCH less of a big deal with a team of professionals there to clear up anything that might go wrong.

            •  Customized Server Configuration: Shared hosting has many restrictions regarding what can be run on the server. Make your own rules and opt for a dedicated hosting plan, which allows for the ability to customize your server configuration and add many things on a whim without having to make service requests every time you want to add something new and complex to your site. You'll also encounter much less errors with new additions on a managed dedicated plan.

            •  Security: When you're only sharing a server with yourself, your site is that much more secure. On a dedicated server you don't have to worry about the malicious elements other websites might have to bring to the table. And without sharing resources your site is way more closed off to hackers and nasty viruses.

            •  Room for Expansion: A dedicated server allows you to scale your website as you need to. If your business grows rapidly overnight, your dedicated server has the options to handle the growth effectively, whereas a shared server might get a little congested and unreliable with all the increase in traffic and resources.

Your website is really the hub for all of your online business, and you really should treat your site like your company's very own baby. Give your baby room to grow in a safe, reliable place with plenty of support and security. House the child of your company within the dependable environment of a managed dedicated server. You won't regret it, but you might regret NOT doing so. 

Everyone wants their business to exist with the potential for growth, and if you are on a shared hosting plan your chances for growth might be stifled a bit. Also, if your not choosing a fully-managed dedicated server option, you're risking a lot of time and error. Trust your site to the hands of an expert in the web hosting industry, these professionals are more than qualified to care for your site and provide you with the best tools to grow your online store and Internet presence.
