3 reasons to choose dedicated hosting service

Dedicated hosting provides your site with far more resources to keep up with its expansion. Of course, there are other benefits involved in upgrading to a dedicated hosting plan as well. These include improved stability and security, as well as the chance to configure every element of your server.

There are many types of hosting plans, and you may be wondering how dedicated servers differ from the rest. In a nutshell, dedicated hosting means you are renting an entire physical server for your website. This server can be completely configured to meet your specifications. You’ll also have more memory dedicated to your site, which results in better loading times.

This is a stark contrast to shared hosting, which is the cheapest and most common type of plan. With shared hosting, you are renting limited space on a physical server. The memory on that server will be shared between all the websites it hosts. This means that if one website is having a particularly busy day, it may draw resources away from your site.

3 Ways to Tell If You Need Dedicated Hosting

Dedicated hosting is a powerful option, but it isn’t right for every website. However, there are three simple ways to decide if you need this kind of plan. Simply ask yourself if you fall into one or more of the following three categories.

1. You’re Looking for Increased Security

Website hacking is on the rise. The security on a shared hosting plan is typically fine for smaller and more personal sites. However, if your company handles particularly sensitive data (such as credit card numbers), you might need the added security that dedicated hosting provides.

Dedicated hosting offers top-notch security because you can configure the entire server to meet your needs. This includes creating a tighter firewall to keep out hackers. It also means you don’t have to worry about another website on your shared server exposing your own site to malware.

A2 Hosting offers around-the-clock support in the event of an attack for all our plans. Still, dedicated hosting is the best way to make sure your site is completely safe, and to prevent security breaches before they happen.

2. Your Site Requires Improved Server Stability

As we’ve mentioned, another advantage of dedicated servers is improved performance. On a shared server, the memory you are paying for is split among several sites. A usage spike on one site can pull resources away from yours. This means that if one site you are sharing with has a busy day, your site may lag. Too many visitors at once can even make your site crash!

However, on a dedicated server, all its resources are reserved for your site alone. If your site is growing, dedicated hosting is a perfect way to keep loading times down. This is particularly important if your site is already experiencing delays due to high traffic. Visitors can quickly become impatient and leave your site if pages take too long to load.

If your site isn’t quite big enough to justify a dedicated server, but has grown beyond your current shared plan, VPS hosting may be a better option. Like a dedicated plan, all of the memory you are paying for is reserved for your site. This offers a huge improvement over shared hosting, at a lower cost than dedicated hosting. Plus, you can always upgrade later if you need the additional resources.

3. You Want Total Control Over Your Server’s Configuration

With dedicated hosting, you’re getting your own physical server. This means you can configure ithowever you like. If you’re an advanced user, or you just have very specific requirements for how you want your server to be set up, dedicated hosting fits the bill. For example, you could configure a firewall that meets your exact security specifications.

Even if you don’t have the technical know-how to do those things yourself, you can get a managed dedicated plan. This means your provider will handle most of the necessary setup and maintenance for you. While this type of plan does come at a higher cost, you’ll get the full benefits of dedicated hosting without having to do much work yourself.

When you purchase a managed dedicated server from A2 Hosting, your plan includes 24/7/365 tech support from our Guru Crew. We will work with you to configure your server just the way you want, even if you don’t know all the terminology involved. What’s more, our team works around the clock to guarantee that your site stays up at all times.

Why should you use Windows VPS Hosting

A Virtual Private Server (VPS) hosting plan provides your site with its own individual operating system, disc space, and bandwidth. This is a stark contrast to shared hosting plans, in which those resources are shared with many other users. VPS hosting enables you to provide a more optimized service for your visitors – which is essential as your site really starts to grow.

There are many advantages to signing up for a Windows VPS hosting plan. In the next few sections, we’ll look at four of the most important, in order to help you make a more informed decision.

1. It’s a Cost-Effective Solution

As your website continues to grow, it’s likely that budgeting will become more challenging. Putting time and money into shared hosting when your site has outgrown it can be a poor investment.

At the same time, you don’t want to overspend and get a dedicated server for a site that doesn’t need one. VPS hosting provides an ideal middle option for sites that are just beginning to expand.

For example, Windows-based VPS plans here at A2 Hosting start at $36.29 per month:

While more expensive than shared hosting, this is still a highly-affordable choice for many small- to mid-sized businesses.

2. There’s No More ‘Neighbor Drain’ of Resources

One of shared hosting’s downfalls is the fact that the same resources are accessed by multiple sites. This means that if another site on your server has a sudden spike in traffic, for example, you’ll have fewer resources to work with.

As a result, your visitors might experience slow loading times, which in turn can lead to a reduction in traffic and conversions. This is not an ideal environment for websites that have the potential to grow – nor does it give your site and business a professional image.

With VPS hosting, your resources can’t be drained by your neighbor’s activities. Therefore, you’re able to offer a faster, smoother experience for all your visitors.

3. You’ll Benefit from a Higher Level of Security

In a general sense, VPS hosting is considered more secure than shared hosting. This is largely due to the fact the apps and data stored on a virtual server are completely isolated from other users.

On a shared plan, if another site on your server suffers from a malware infection or another form of security breach, it’s possible that this could also affect your site. In contrast, the separate storage available on a virtual server means that it’s a lot harder for infections to spread between users.

What’s more, the Windows-based VPS plans here at A2 Hosting are managed. This means you’ll benefit from additional security measures, including firewalls, intrusion monitoring, and regular remote backups. This is in contrast to unmanaged plans, in which most security measures and general maintenance tasks are the user’s responsibility.

4. You Get More Control Over Your Site

Since a VPS hosting plan is independent of other accounts using the same physical server, you have more control over your partition. You get the entire operating system to yourself – including full access to available resources and files.

Windows-based VPS plans at A2 Hosting come with full administrative control. This enables you to set up and customize your server the way you want it, as well as to install and use additional software. The added control over your site also means you are able to try out more advanced coding, and test applications more effectively.

Last but not least, VPS hosting plans are also incredibly simple to upgrade as your business continues to grow. There are a range of hosting packages to choose from, each offering different levels of processing power, storage, and memory. That means you only have to pay for what you need, without hamstringing your site in the process.

Tips for Choosing a Hosting Service

After you’ve selected your domain name, you’ll want to register it with a web hosting service before you begin building your website. Here are some tips to keep in mind to help you choose the right web hosting service for your website.

Verify That They Have Your Hosting Needs

Not all hosting services offer the same things. Consider whether you want or need shared hosting or dedicated hosting. And then see what offers and options each hosting service provider has available. If you don’t anticipate a lot of website traffic, then you might want to go for more economical options. But if you anticipate a lot of traffic, your needs will look much different.

Most hosting offers are available in 3 categories:

  • Shared Hosting – As the name implies, multiple websites will share resources on a single server. This is usually the least expensive option, and is sufficient for most individual or small business websites.
  • Virtual Private Server (VPS) – With VPS hosting, your site will still reside on a shared server, but a section will be partitioned out for your access only. This option allows more customization of the OS and the functionality of your site. And the resources you get won’t be impacted by activity on other sites.
  • Dedicated Server – Also known as a managed hosting service, you will be leasing an entire server. You will get complete control and customization of the hosting environment. Dedicated hosting provides optimum security and flexibility for high-traffic or mission-critical websites.

Know Sign Up Rates vs. Renewal Rates

Sometimes hosting service providers will offer discounts upfront if you’re a new customer, but your renewal rates might be different. Make sure that you know all costs associated with your new website, which ones are one-time only, and which costs might fluctuate in the future. This way, you’ll never receive a surprise bill in your inbox and you won’t have to worry about interrupted hosting service resulting from overdue payments.

Consider How You Will Build Your Website

If you don’t know how to code websites or build them from scratch, then you’ll want to consider going with a web hosting provider that offers a reliable and easy-to-use website builder. Most website builders offer drag-and-drop features, customizable templates, etc. Be careful not to buy a web hosting service plan or subscription that you won’t even be able to use because you don’t know how to code.

Decide Whether You’ll Need E-Commerce Features and Support

You’ll also want to consider whether your website will need e-commerce features and support as you’re considering web hosting providers. Some providers won’t be able to offer all the features and support that an e-commerce business website needs to succeed. To accept payments you will need to implement a shopping cart and payment processing functionality. Find one that offers all you need for an optimized and user-friendly e-commerce website.

Server Reliability and Customer Ratings

Most importantly, you’ll want to investigate what current customers are saying about the web hosting services you’re considering. Are customers happy with the providers’ services, options, rates, customer care, etc.? Do their websites function well and fast? Do they ever have problems with website security or billing? Does the hosting service offer regularly scheduled backups for websites?

While price points are important, you’ll also want to make sure the web hosting services you’re considering are reliable and that you’ll be able to easily contact someone if you have a question or need assistance. If your website is always crashing or encountering data breaches, you will lose customers and website visitors over time.

What to know before you explore hosting companies

Before you explore web hosting companies and their various hosting plans, you need to understand your own website. You don’t want to buy an expensive hosting plan designed for a large corporation with thousands of monthly visitors if you’re just starting your first WordPress blog.

To help you better understand your website, outline the goals and mission of your site. Then use this quick checklist to learn more about your site before choosing a web host:

choose a web host website checklist

  • What is your web hosting budget? For your first host, finding the cheapest host is likely the number one thing on your mind. Unfortunately, cheapest doesn’t always mean best. Determine your maximum and minimum monthly budget now so you don’t feel tempted to overspend or skimp later.
  • What type of website are you making? This is a pretty broad question, but your answer will help you determine what stage of the creative process you’re in. Maybe you’re building your site with a CMS or static HTML. Or maybe you’re building an ecommerce site or a blog. Maybe all you know right now is that you want to build a site. No matter what stage you’re in now, continue reading to learn about your website’s requirements and the process of launching a site with a reliable host.
  • How many sites will you have? Will you add a subdomain or two in addition to your main website? The number of sites you have will help determine the scope and scalability of your hosting plan.
  • How would you describe your technical skill level and past technical experiences? Know your limitations when it comes to technical knowledge. You won’t be able to do everything by yourself and spending a little extra on good support will make a world of difference.
  • Will you need a custom domain email address with hosting? Setting up a custom email address to match your website’s domain looks more professional and trustworthy than using your gmail account. If you want a custom email address, add “email hosting” to your checklist when researching web hosts.
  • What does your website require? When it comes to coding languages, database types, and other technical details, find out what your site requirements are (see below for more). Armed with these technical details, you’ll know which web hosting companies can offer compatible services.
  • How much security does your site need? All sites require a minimum level of security, especially since SSL certificates became nonessential to Google. Some sites, like ecommerce sites, will need even higher levels of security to process payments.
  • How much data will your sites need? In other words, how much space will your website take up on the server? If your website is all videos and huge image files, you’ll need more disk space than an all text site.
  • How much website traffic do you anticipate? If you’re starting a brand new site, you can expect fairly low traffic volume until you start building and growing your online presence. Estimate how much traffic you expect now and in the future to help you choose a hosting plan.
