VPS Hosting for Online Retailers and eCommerceby Meghan Morrison 2/4/2011 The one important role of owning and running an online store is that downtime loses sales and costs the store money, and should be avoided at all costs. Using a shared web hosting server to start up in business might seem like a good idea to save initial costs, but many find that the service is so unreliable that it is not even worth a small fee. On the other side of the scale a fully dedicated server would provide everything they needed and more, but this might actually be too much. At the price of over $100 a month, this would be an absolute waste of money for the company as they would only use a fraction of the server space. Luckily there is another option -- a Virtual Private server operates just like a dedicated server would but is in fact several different servers on the same physical machine that do not interact at all with each other. This means ... |

Website hosting subdomains are not just additional pages; rather, each subdomain exists as a website of its own. The typical website has a unique domain name. For example, yahoo.com.

Are Dedicated Servers Worth It?by Kathleen Chester 10/31/2010 Dedicated servers are expensive, no doubt. So, before business owners make a decision, they would naturally want to know whether these servers are worth the money they spend on them. First off, money may be the prime consideration when you consider dedicated servers. But, it should not be the only consideration. There are many other factors to consider. The most important factor to consider is performance. As web statistics clearly reveal, a casual visitor to a website will not wait more than 7 seconds for the page to load. If loading time exceeds this, most visitors click away from the site and probably go to a competitor. Although several factors affect loading time, one of the most important factors is the server. If the resources are being shared by too many clients, heavy inflow of traffic will cause lengthening download times. In the worst case scenario, the server could crash taking the website offline for a number of precious hours! Security is the next major concern for business owners. When a number of websites share the same server, security is severely compromised. Viruses attacking one of the clients may spread to other clients on the server. Thus, clients residing on the same server are always under threat. Some business websites indulge in illegal behavior on the web. Spamming is an example. If a business is found guilty of such behavior, all the sites sharing the IP address of that site will be blacklisted. So, even if a business has not indulged in such activity, ... |

For this reason, dedicated servers are often the choice of most website owners, and having a dedicated server will allow you to perform a number of functions that you would not be able to with a shared box.
