Having your own network always makes sense, but you may not have considered a server all your own too. Here are the factors to consider.
Individuals
Whether you live alone or have a family, owning a server may not be something you ever considered. You most likely have a network specific to your home (you should, anyway), but it’s on a shared server.
While everyone’s budget is going to be different, you should seriously consider a dedicated server for a couple of reasons.
First, the more devices you add to the network—computers, tablets, phones, even TVs—the more you’ll notice a toll being taken on your network. This is especially true as others using that same server get in on the action. You may have even noticed slow loading times when using the Internet at home.
Second, if you have dreams of being an entrepreneur, you’ll most likely be starting your own site. Having a server all your own will give you the best resources for doing so. When you add in the above point about multiple devices, this makes a lot of sense.
Businesses
If you have your own business, you probably need a dedicated server for your network. This isn’t a strict necessity, mind you. Plenty of businesses out there survive without their own server.
However, the types of problems you could experience with a typical server are the kind that can crush a company’s earnings.
For example, consider your site suddenly takes off. Maybe you received a celebrity endorsement or one of your blogs goes viral. Your popularity could actually work against you when all this new traffic forces your server to crash.
That’s bad enough, but this problem could affect your business despite no change in traffic. Remember that you share the server your network is on with others. If a “neighbor†company has the good fortune we just described above, it could be your site’s undoing. Now you’re waiting around for your site to get back online even though you didn’t “do†anything.
Although dedicated servers used to be something only large companies ever invested in, more and more, even small businesses are making the leap. If you have five or more employees who will be using the Internet at the same time, your own server makes a lot of sense.
Gamers
This category could be either of the two above. However, it deserves its own paragraph because of their unique demands. If you’re a serious gamer and if you like hosting tournaments or multiplayer games online, you’ll want your own server unless the manufacturer provides one of their own (and sometimes even then). The difference is very, very noticeable.
Although a server all your own may not be something you’ve thought of before, hopefully, the above explains why they are increasing in popularity. Unfortunately, many companies have taken advantage of the increase in popularity and have begun increasing their prices. ServerPronto is going against the crowd and focusing on offering affordable dedicated servers with a customer focus approach.
