The Dedicated Server Hosting Advantage

​It’s very rare for businesses today to depend on a local IT infrastructure. Most businesses, including accounting firms, have moved to the cloud. 

​Hosting solutions are today far more advanced than they were in the past and are today pretty much accepted as an essential part of the IT infrastructure for most industries.
Cloud hosting is in huge demand all over the world, and there are today hundreds of providers of cloud hosting that offer a variety of hosting services. One option that has become very popular over the last few years is dedicated server hosting, as it allows businesses to maximize the resources that are available to them.
What’s dedicated server hosting? It basically means that the user gets a full and exclusive access to a server from the hosting provider and doesn’t have to share it with anyone else.
 There are 4 major advantages of dedicated server hosting. Let’s look at them briefly. 

1. Full utilization of the resources 

​With dedicated server hosting, you will have an exclusive right to all the storage, processing and other features that are available on a particular server and won’t need to share them with anyone else. This means you will have access to all of the memory, storage drive, bandwidth and processing speed of the server and get to utilize it fully. This guarantees a very high level of performance for your business.  

2. A high level of security and privacy

​The other great advantage of dedicated server hosting is that it addresses all concerns that people might have about the security of their data on the cloud. Dedicated servers are as secure as they get as the entire server and all of its resources are available to just one user. Since there’s no sharing of the resources, there are no chances of anyone having access to any of your vulnerabilities or loopholes in your data security. With dedicated servers, you will have access to personalized security solutions, which is not possible with shared servers. 

3. Customized according to your requirements

​Dedicated servers can be customized according to your requirements. Everything from the user setup to access permissions is personalized according to the user’s requirements. You will have the freedom to enable to disable certain network protocols depending on what would suit your business requirements better.  Also, it allows you to make changes to your server resources and add or subtract resources as you go along. 

4. Reasonably Priced

​Dedicated server hosting is surprisingly affordable. It offers everything a local server or a local IT infrastructure would offer your business, but without any of the expenses on buying the hardware or software upgrades, maintenance costs or cost of setting up the infrastructure. You won’t need to hire your own IT team either, which saves a lot of money as well. You can scale up or scale down your hosting plans based on your business requirements.  

Conclusion

​While it is true that dedicated server hosting is more expensive than other hosting solutions, the fact is, it is still affordable compared to buying a local server or setting up a local IT infrastructure. Also, nothing beats dedicated servers when it comes to data security and privacy. It helps that you will have access to all of the server’s resources for yourself and can customize them according to your requirements.
