INetU Managed Dedicated Hosting

Why Choose A Dedicated Server?

If your business considers security, scalability and stability top priorities, its Web site should be hosted on a dedicated server.

Many companies host their Web sites on a "shared" server. A shared server means a number of Web sites are on the same server, with access to the server available to numerous webmasters and users. While this arrangement is most cost-efficient for small-scale business sites that do not perform numerous credit card transactions, attract much traffic or handle sensitive data, companies depending on their Web sites to complete mission-critical tasks should invest in a more controlled environment.

Secure Data Protection

If your site is hosted on a shared server, any number of people may have access to log into the same machine which houses your business' important data. With a dedicated server, you can be assured that only those you have given access to the server will have the ability to login. This significantly reduces the chances of your server being broken into or "hacked."

Exclusive System Resource Use

In a shared server environment, a number of unrelated Web sites are hosted on the same server. That means if the site or application of another user on the machine runs intensive programs and begins hogging system resources, the load-time and performance of your Web site will be affected. On a dedicated server, only your company's Web sites and applications will draw upon your system's resources, ensuring the best possible performance for your e-business.

Scalable E-Business Environment

Your business will have room to grow its Web endeavors on a dedicated server. As a company's volume on the Web increases, shared server accounts are quickly outgrown. The result is an inconvenient migration from the shared to the dedicated environment.

Hands-on Control/Managed Services Options

Whether you prefer total control over your Web site environment or would rather outsource the management of the machine, the dedicated server option best suits your needs. For those who prefer to maintain control of the system on which their Web site runs, the dedicated server environment allows the system administrator to customize the server through hands-on maintenance and custom installations.
