Choosing a web host for your business is a very important decision.  Most people take it for granted, but it is much more than uploading some files to the Internet.  What do you really need to know about where your website is hosted?

My Mother Always Told Me to Share

Are you on a shared server or are you on a dedicated server? Shared hosting is an affordable way to host your website; you don’t have to worry about maintaining a server, and you have a cPanel interface to make managing your website simple and fast. 

The downside to shared hosting is sharing resources of a server with other sites.  If one site gets a sudden burst of activity, then the other sites could slow down or even worse, go down altogether.  The great thing about Dolphini Shared Hosting is that we do not over-provision our servers like the “Daddy’s” of the world.  As a result, websites have great speed as well as ample disk space with minimal downtime.

Dedicated servers are great for locking down a server for security purposes.  If a business requires a secure connection, (i.e. a bank, hospital), then a dedicated server is the only choice.

Dedicated servers are a perfect fit if there will heavy bandwidth usage as well as storage space.  This will ensure there are no limitations with sharing resources found in a shared-hosting environment.  There is also the benefit of the Dolphini team maintaining the server which is a more cost effective solution for most small businesses.

To share, or not to share?  That is the question.  Take a look at your business and where you want to store your intellectual property.  Do you need the resources of your own server or do you have a small brochure site that doesn’t want the overhead of a dedicated server, but wants reliable hosting?  

Theese are just a few questions that you need to answer when looking for hosting, we will be answering more of your hosting questions in future blog posts - what are your questions that you have always wanted answered????
