Deciding on a Website Hosting Platform
by Dhruv Patel
In deciding on what website platform to choose three factors must be taken into consideration. These include space, flexibility and room for growth.
There are basically two types of web servers: shared server, and dedicated web server. Shared servers are usually used by smaller companies that operate basic websites where there is no online ordering or form submission and are thus less likely to cause huge traffic on the web. in this case the website is placed on the same server as other websites, all of which share the same resources from the server. The main objective of such website is basically to inform the public of the business. However, for larger companies or web professional that make use of larger bandwiths and several interfaces, you will have to decide whether to use your own dedicated web server or a Virtual Private server.
A virtual private server (VPS) or virtual dedicated server allows the server resources to be allocated without reflecting on the underlying hardware. What this means is that the VPS divides the server into multiple virtual servers and allows each one to run its own system and applications, thus almost functioning like an independent dedicated server.
VPS ( Virtual Private Server ) is almost the same as your own dedicated server. In VPS you are allocated a part of memory and part of cpu process. You have no more access than allocated memory and cpu power. VPS works like exactly as your own separate system. You can reboot the system and you have full access of your system.
If you are considering an Independent Dedicated server or a VPS then it is important to weigh the pros and cons before you make a decision.
The advantages of an independent dedicated Server are
(1)A dedicated server allows you to run your own software applications, as well as manage several sites on the same server.
(2)There is no limit as to the availability of space on the server.
The disadvantages of having an Independent Dedicated Server are
(1)It is more expensive to own and maintain.
(2)Opting for your own dedicated server means that you will be responsible for the server maintenance.
(3)You will also be responsible for your own security.
The bottom-line is that if you have adequate technical and financial resources then you might favorably consider having your own server. However the VPS or Virtual dedicated server may be more suitable for small companies or web professionals that are not satisfied with the limited services offered by a shared web host and yet lack the resources to get an independent dedicated server. This is because the VPS allows for adequate technical assistance from a reliable provider, there is provision of better security and it is less expensive. The VPS also allows you to move content from one server to another.
In summary, the VPS brings with it the advantages of an independent server and it is less expensive to maintain. It may therefore be the preferred choice for a small and growing business.
