"Dedicated Webhosting Guide"

A dedicated server web hosting is an Internet hosting service that allows you to rent a whole server in a datacenter that you have full control over.

What can dedicated server web hosting offer you?
Dedicated server web hosting is the best choice if you don't have the resources to have a server inside your company. This resources include the financials, the time and the trainned personnel to maintain it.

Renting a server in a datacenter allows you to have root access over the operating system, to partition the space to your own needs and to install additional software. Dedicated server web hosting also offers large storage space, large bandwidth, high security and connectivity. High quality providers are usually multi-homed at several uplink providers to prevent downtime.

The provider is responsible for maintaining the connectivity and the server equipment. The hosting company should solve any hardware problems that might occur and take care that every hardware component is functional.

How to choose a dedicated server web hosting
First of all, it's important to choose a dedicated server web host that allows you to customize the server to your own needs in terms of hardware components, operating system and other applications. Moreover, in case your needs change, you must be able to make upgrades fast, easy and for a moderate price. Such upgrades might include larger bandwidth, more storage space or faster processor. Many dedicated web hosting providers charge extra for administrating your server. If you don't have the staff to administrate the server yourself, you should probably pay for their administrating services.

A host that offers managed services shoul also provide full-time technical support and consulting services. Even if you choose an unmanaged host and you are the one who's responsible for managing the server, there should still be a consulting service for an extra fee.

Price range
The cost for a dedicated server web hosting service ranges from $100 to over $1000 a month. The management services they provide is what makes the difference. If you don't have the ability to manage the server yourself, you have to pay for their technical assistance.

There are also some providers that offer dedicated server hosting for less than $100, but in such cases the server is primarily self-managed.

Unfortunately, I cannot recommend any good dedicated web hosting provider at this point. Please check back again.
