Dedicated servers are the best choice for the organisations whose websites handles a huge amount of traffic. Dedicated web hosting will provide the client with the entire servers solely for themselves. Dedicated servers are quite different from the shared server hosting where a large number of users use the same server, shared the same bandwidth and same space. This can create difficulty for the organisation, especially the big organisation that often faces the problem of server failure or slowdown when they receive huge amount of traffic on their website.
Although dedicated servers are more expensive than the other web hosting services, they are secure and reliable. Dedicated servers are a blessing for the organisation who wants to keep the continuity of the business without disturbing the workflow.
Dedicated servers can easily manage huge amount of traffic and hence reduce the high risk of server crashing or slow down. A dedicated server provides maximum security since the entire server is solely for the enterprise and it is not shared by anyone else.
How can an organisation make its dedicated server work more?
Dedicated serves have some unique features that enable the organisations to make the most of its dedicated servers.
RAM: Random Access Memory is one of the significant features of a dedicated server hosting. RAM is a form of a computer data storage that allows the user to access any memory on the server. More RAM ensures that the server will be fast in processing user’s requests and the loading time for the page will be less. The performance of the server depends upon the amount of memory (RAM) which is allotted to the server for its use and more the RAM the organisation has on its dedicated server, the better it is going to perform. For example if the organisation decides to run numerous processes and services on the dedicated servers then they need to have a large amount of memory (RAM) otherwise the application will fail to run or if the required RAM is not available it will lead to a server crash or server slow down which will result in losses. A dedicated server hosting will provide an adequate amount of memory which is needed for the organisation and unlike in a shared server the memory is not shared with anybody therefore there is less risk of server slow down or crash.
Bandwidth: Bandwidth refers to the data transfer rate, which means the amount of data that can transfer from one point to another in a given period. How does the bandwidth affect the website of the organisation? When an organisation deploys a dedicated server so they have an unlimited or a large amount of bandwidth, which enables the maximum amount of data to be transferred, and high bandwidth will enable the website to load faster unlike in other web hosting services. A good bandwidth will help the organisation to manage the website traffic effectively.
RAID: Redundant Array of Independent Disk (RAID) now RAID configuration is one of the significant reasons for the organisation to select dedicated hosting over the other web hosting. RAID 0 enhances the performance of the disk in a server by combining 2or more physical hard drives into a single drive it acts like a backup application for the data. RAID 1 is designed to provide security of the data which is stored on a dedicated server- in this the data which is stored in one disk is mirrored onto a second hard drive so that if the primary hard drive fails there is another drive available for the use that will be a carbon copy of a failed drive it act as a backup application as well as security. Although the RAID configuration is costly but it provides the best solution for the data backup.
