Budget Dedicated Servers

Detikme... There are thousands of dedicated servers available on the market today.  If you are considering a dedicated server for your internet business website, you are probably overwhelmed at the selection as well as the difference in price.  You will find that some dedicated servers seem to cost a lot more money than others.

You may be tempted to opt for one of the budget dedicated servers.  Budget dedicated servers are all over the internet and offer low, if any, start up costs as well as low monthly fees.  Some budget dedicated servers cost a fraction of what larger dedicated servers cost in fees each month.

It is a normal rule of thumb that you get what you pay for.  Chances are, if you are paying a lot less for a dedicated server, you are getting less space as well as bandwidth.  You may also be sacrificing customer service.  This can be okay, if your business is big enough to require a dedicated server, but not that big.

When choosing among budget dedicated servers, you need to make sure about the space allowed for your websites, the bandwidth as well as the type of customer service offered by the provider.  You do not want to sign with a company, no matter how inexpensive, that will not give you decent customer service.  Imagine your server going down at a peak time and not being able to get in touch with your provider.  This can cause a huge loss in revenue.

Not all budget dedicated servers offer poor customer service,  space and bandwidth.  There are some bargains out there if you look hard enough.  Many of the budget dedicated servers that are started by those just beginning a web hosting business can be quite a bargain.  The service provider may be offering attractive rates in order to procure customers.

Make sure you understand what type of bandwidth you are seeking as well as space.  Then check out the different online directories that offer budget dedicated servers.  Phone several of them and speak to someone about what type of service they provide.  Explain to them what you are looking for and the type of service that you need.

You can tell a lot about a company from calling them over the phone.  While it is a good idea to get the best selection of budget dedicated servers from the various online directories, you need to actually speak with people on the phone to really get a feel for their customer service skills.  Once you find a provider that is helpful, knowledgeable an offers the services that you need at the right price, you can sign up.

Many businesses are moving to budget dedicated servers as a smart alternative to a shared server that hosts many different websites.  By having your own server, you allow your website much more space, easier traffic flow and an opportunity for growth.  Some budget dedicated servers cost a little bit more than some popular shared servers.  This can be well worth the extra money if you want to expand your website and increase your traffic flow.

Perhaps your business has grown to a point where you no longer want to use a shared server.  It may be time for you to seek out a dedicated server, but you do not want to end up costing you a lot of money.  You can find a budget dedicated server by perusing some of the dedicated server directories online.

Finding a web site host on the internet can be a bit overwhelming.  When you first began your internet business, you most likely used a shared server to host your business website.

Shared servers have their advantages. They are generally inexpensive and many even offer templates to build your own website.  When you first got started on your internet business, you probably chose the most inexpensive and easy to use shared server that you could find to host your website.  You may even have allowed them to place ads on your website.

Not all shared websites have mandatory ads.  Some of them even allow you to place your own ads.  If you have incorporated ads into your website, such as with Adsense, you may even have earned extra revenue from your website, in addition to selling your products.

One of the drawbacks of a shared server, however, is that you are limited when it comes to both space and bandwidth.  The server can only handle a certain amount of traffic at one time.  If you are sharing the server with a bunch of other businesses getting substantial traffic to their websites, your customers may be having a difficult time getting to your website.  You could actually be losing sales without even knowing it, simply because you are using the wrong server.

A dedicated server can cost quite a bit more money per month, but it is your server.  You have control over it and you no longer have to worry about sharing it with other websites.  Your customers will be able to access your site with ease.

Years ago, people used to have party lines on telephones.  Four families would often share a phone line.  Only one family could be on the phone at a time and each family would have a certain distinctive ring when the phone was for them.  There was very little privacy as anyone could listen into a call and it was frustrating if you wanted to make a call and someone else was on the party line.

Shared servers are similar to those party lines of long ago.  The same way we do not want to share our telephone line with others, if we have a large business and substantial traffic, we do not want our customers being turned away because someone else is on the "party line."

A dedicated server does not have to cost a fortune.  You can find a budget dedicated server in a variety of places on the internet.   You can find a budget dedicated server that will offer no start up costs for as low as $100 per month.  The difference in web hosting cost may be a bit more money, but may save you money in the long run by allowing increased traffic to your website.
