Cheap Dedicated Servers

An affordable dedicated server is a single computer in a network reserved for servicing the needs of the network alone. To better illustrate, some networks mandate that only one computer be set aside to manage all communications between all the other computers within a network. A dedicated server could also manage printer resources through a computer. Not all servers are dedicated, and in only some networks is it possible to allow a computer to act as a server and perform various other functions. Cheap dedicated servers are accessible immediately as long as the set up account verification has been approved. There are custom configurations that require additional software or hardware, and they can be accessible within 2-48 hours to the client, dependent upon the availability of the parts. Most are not virtual or shared servers.

Through web hosting, cheap dedicated servers are typically rented. The user will rent the server, software, and web connection from the host. A host is in the industry of providing space, services and file maintenance for sites controlled by people or organizations that do not have their own. Many ISP's or Internet Service Provider's will allow subscribers a small amount of server space to host a personal web page. Other commercial ISPs will charge the user a fee depending on the needs and requests of the site being hosted. There are a variety of levels of dedicating hosting packages. These packages can include cheap dedicated servers, ranging from $100 with a $200 start up fee, through a more affordable dedicated server costing upwards of $400 and $300 for start up, to a higher cost type in the range of $2500 which costs about $5000 in start up costs.

The variety of services can meet the needs of firms with complex systems or global industry firms that mandate the most sophisticated web hosting invented. Many managed services feature hardware based firewalls and load balancing. An affordable dedicated server my also be purchased through a pricing special, like a 2 for 1 deal, or a yearly commitment contract. With computer technology becoming more costly for the newest advances, it is fortunately bearable when the market prices are decreased for certain technology that is current and not on the cutting edge. This allows the general population to utilize specialized computer advances that otherwise would be out of budget. The most popular hosts have top rated cheap dedicated servers to fulfill most businesses needs. It is important for the host to have a superior backbone and network. Research should be done on competing companies, before a purchase or rental decision is made.

Some servers allow a no contract month to month rental plan. This is an excellent way to "test drive" a host company before committing to a lengthy business relationship. In addition, with rapid advances in technology, no client wants to be confined to outdated technology should advances surpass the available serving options within their contracted host. Upgrades to the server package can also be made. For example: an extra GB of RAM, or an extra hard disk drive. Typically, additional bandwidth may be purchased on an "as used" basis. Usually, individuals or businesses will not need to pre-purchase additional bandwidth. In addition to upgrades, there are various plans for SEO and other applications, as well as private network and server clustering, which is the use of multiple systems that work with one another. It often is described as multiple computer systems linked together to handle various workloads or to provide continual operation in case one fails.

Some cheap dedicated servers offer discounts for paying a full year in advance. Some already offer affordable dedicated server prices and need not discount their costs any further for what the client receives in return. Most companies offering dedicated servers accept major credit cards, and online payment methods. Typically, the price consists of a monthly fee, and a one time set up fee. Set up fees have the option of being waved when a large amount of servers are purchased at once. This is a nice discount for extremely large global conglomerate businesses. The client will usually want the fastest connection currently available within their frame of budget. Some companies can offer a super affordable dedicated server because of the speed of the server. The lower the speed, the less the server will cost. Technical support is also a concern for those purchasing a server. The most competitive company will offer 24/7 technical support access. Before selecting any host server, especially if price is the determining factor, be sure to check with the BBB or Better Business Bureau to be sure that the company chosen has a solid reputation for granting honest and reliable service. When a business depends on the server they use, wisdom should be used when making the all important selection. "For God giveth to a man that is good in his sight wisdom, and knowledge and joy." (Ecclesiastes 2:26)
