Online business and dedicated servers

A dedicated server is a single computer which serves the needs of a network. Dedicated servers are more expensive than the shared ones but they have more advantages. One of them is the fact that you have a server for all your site or sites.

It also give you complete authority and control over the administration of your server. It is good to use this solution when the traffic on your business website has increased significantly. If many visitors will access and use your website at the same time, for example when shopping online, then a dedicated server is the
best solution.

You can take the decision to upgrade to a dedicated server after you have analysed the traffic of your web site. If you have more than 3,500 visitors per day, than you should consider a dedicated server. Otherwise your web site will be slowed down, pages won't load quickly and at the end of the day you can lose important customers and money. Nowadays people don't have patience to wait for a page to load.
They will simply go to a competitor website and buy what they need or get the information they want.

A dedicated server will cost more, but the advantages of switching from a shared to a dedicated server will be huge.
