Dedicated server provider, how do you choose?

April 23rd, 2010

When it comes to a dedicated server its all about reliability, quality of service and value for money.

It’s not simply about signing up with the cheapest supplier to save money, to then discover various technical difficulties, or when you need it the technical support is none existence. You then have the frustrating task of starting all over again and changing web hosts.

To avoid this experience, you need to choose the right dedicated server company straightway. Ensuring that you choose a dedicated server supplier with the following qualities will increase your chances of customer satisfaction, and uptime!

  • quality server hardware: to cope with the high number of users on your server it is paramount that the server hardware and components are quality.
  • redundant network: multiple connections to the Internet for your dedicated servers are imperative. So look out for suppliers who’s network has the ability to re-route traffic should a connection go down.
  • network connectivity: speed is everything on the Internet; so finding the fastest connection possible is a must, particularly as other users are consuming resources on your server. High-grade bandwidth is the key as is using less than 50% of available bandwidth.
  • data centre location: hosting your company in UK based hosting facilities ensures higher performance, easier management and better Google ratings.
  • customer support and administrators: talk with the system administrators; ensure they are knowledgeable and if possible fully qualified to operate your hosting company, and find out how available they are.
  • track record: take a look at any awards the hosting providers have won, check their availability and performance records, read their customer testimonials and case studies, even talk to their clients and visit forums to see what is being said about them. All these should give you a better view of how good they are.

Remember it is not necessary to go with the cheapest or the most expensive dedicated servers supplier, it’s about your budget and getting value for money. Some factors to consider when choosing a dedicated server to help you save money include:

  • pay for what you need only: only purchase services that your site will require to provide your specific content, don’t sign up for an all-inclusive package with a hosting provider if you won’t use most of their services, unless you can see the value otherwise this will unnecessarily increase your costs.
  • choose a scalable solution: make sure that your dedicated server solution can grow as you grow. This means being able to upgrade your site to accommodate increased bandwidth, even server-side scripting, database support and multimedia streaming.
  • responsive and available tech support: prompt and knowledgeable customer support is key to your hosting solution. A truly dependable and first-rate host will offer 24/7/365 support, whether by phone or email, without the interception of call centres, handled by qualified and helpful technicians.
  • simple and reliable billing: don’t let a host get you in a flap over billing. You should have the choice to pay by credit card or direct debit. Your dedicated server supplier should also send you regular invoices and in your control panel you should be able to view your financial account information.
  • own your domain: make sure that your web host does not hold you hostage by letting them having administrative control over your domain name. Your host should only be listed as a technical contact.
  • understand your obligations: before you sign up on the dotted line with your chosen dedicated server provider, you must understand what your obligations are concerning payment for service and permissible behaviour, get a copy of the terms and conditions, openness of the host usually means a more trusting supplier.

Understand The Difference Between Dedicated and Colocation Server Hosting.

December 9th, 2009

Dedicated server hosting and Colocation Server are two of the common terms frequently used by webmasters. Here is a explanation of the difference between the two.

A dedicated server hosting is one of the very well known type of web hosting service. Dedicated servers are used by large organizations and enterprises as they have to manage large amount of data. This service is further distinguished as Linux Dedicated Server Hosting and Windows Dedicated server hosting, depending on the platform a customer chooses.

Dedicated Server

A customer leases an entire server from a web hosting provider, it is as good as owning a server yourself. The customer has the privileges of using the server as per their own choice. One can opt for Managed Dedicated Server Hosting solutions, in this the hosting provider takes care of the maintenance, data back-up, security etc. A dedicated server provides an assurance of better security and speed.

With a dedicated hosting solution, one has the complete freedom to modify the server settings of sever hardware components and operating system as per business requirements. Depending on the web hosting service provider, one can get the dedicated server customized as per requirements. A control panel alongwith the server can add to the ease of managing the web hosting accounts. With a dedicated server, one gets complete administrative access to the server, enabling customers to install, uninstall, modify, delete, upload, download anything of their choice.

Colocation Servers

Colocation which is also referred as “Colo”, is a Web server hosting service offered by Web hosting providers. In this type of hosting solution, a customer can place his own server hardware in the data center of a third party. The customer is required to have their own server hardware and software licenses to place in the data center. In this type of service, the customer has the flexibility to manage, secure and take care of maintenance of their servers. In this, the data center provides only the space, security, redundancy etc. Colocation service is one of the most expensive type of web hosting service. Only people with good experience in server administration opt for such a service. Also, the maintenance, upgrades of the server needs to be taken care by the customer themselves (Some of the web hosting providers do offer managed collocation services too.).

Both these types of server hostings have their own advantages and disadvantages. With a dedicated server hosting solution a customer gets all the services provided in a collocation hosting solution, except that the customer does not own the hardware. Whereas, in Colocation Hosting solution, the hardware is owned by the customer, therefore the customer needs to bear initial set-up costs and the charge of placing the hardware in the facility of a third party.

Understand the True Meaning of Web Hosting Uptime

November 16th, 2009

An individual, when choosing a web hosting company, usually takes into consideration the bandwidth and diskspace that is offered with a particular package. Along with this the uptime is the true point of attraction. Most web hosting companies offer an uptime guarantee. But, it is necessary to understand the true meaning of this.

webhosting Understand the True Meaning of Web Hosting UptimeThe web hosting uptime is a measurement of the time a server has been running, the longer the uptime, the better is the service. Uptime is not only crucial for web hosting companies, but to any company or individual having a web-site. It is very important for any website to be functional 24×7, as there might be multiple number of visitors in search of information or services that a particular website offers. And, for that the website should be hosted with a web hosting provider who provides maximum uptime guarantee.

There are various factors that may affect a web hosting uptime. Users too should understand that web hosting providers strive hard to keep the servers up and running smooth, but sometimes there are unavoidable circumstances such as natural calamities/disasters, that might affect the uptime committed by the web hosting provider.

Usually, the downtime is classified in three ways. 1. Planned Downtime, 2. Semi planned Downtime and 3. Unplanned Downtime

1. HostingPlanned Downtime can be caused when a server is scheduled for an upgrade or down-grade. Web hosts keep the clients informed about such changes to the server.
2. Semi-Planned Downtime: It may be caused when software providers find a solution to a known loop hole in the application and release a patch to overcome the problem, and it needs to be put into place.
3. Unplanned Downtime: This is the worst and most frustrating (at times) type of downtime, it may be caused due to software or hardware malfunction, server overload and attack the server or a malicious software.

The uptime guarantees provided by a Web Hosting provider, is based on the past information. There are few ways to maintain and monitor the uptime. Also, there are services that provide 24×7 monitoring. But, large web hosting companies usually have a separate department that looks after the uptime and monitor their servers 24×7. Today, there are techniques by which a web hosting company can actually provide 100% uptime. But, this service can be provided by larger companies only, as the hardware required for such architecture is almost double than that of a small web hosting company.

Some companies take the efforts to inform their customers about the possible downtime. Larger hosting providers are able to recover faster from the downtime than the smaller one’s.

Web Hosting

An individual should do thorough research when choosing a web hosting company. It can avoid the downtime of a particular website. There are applications available, that are capable of tracking a web hosting companies uptime. One can also visit different forums provided by either web hosting providers or other review forums to learn more about and particular company.

If a website is already hosted with some web hosting provider and is facing downtime, it is recommended to contact their technical support department and lodge a ticket/complaint against the issue. If one faces the same problem frequently, then looking for a better hosting provider is the best possible alternative to avoid downtime.
