Selecting A Dedicated Server Service

January 12th, 2012

When looking for your dedicated server service, you have to entirely sure on what plan that you require and compare thoroughly each dedicated server plan offered by the service provider. By knowing exactly what you require, should prevent you from purchasing service that you do not want or getting frustrated since you do not get the service that you require.

Here are some points that you need to consider when looking for your dedicated server:

 

Operating System/Platform

Deciding your operating system is one of the most critical task, you have to be sure that the operating system is suitable with your need. As an example, if you need to run sites using PHP, Python or Perl then the most excellent option is to run a Linux/BSD operating system for the reason that it is cheaper. Although Windows can also operate those applications, Windows server are more costly than the Unix one that is because Linux/BSD are free of charge operating system while Windows are commercial operating system, the price to pay for a Windows license will also affect the overall operating cost when purchasing a dedicated server service. Even though Windows will have no difficulty to operate those sites, the charge for Windows hosting is more expensive compared to Linux/BSD this is because you need to pay for a Windows license and this will increase to the overall charge when buying a dedicated hosting service.

In the other hand, if you are planning to run ASP/ASP.NET websites or you plan to use Microsoft SQL Server, then Windows is your only choice because until these days Linux/BSD are not fully able on running ASP/ASP.NET websites or running Microsoft SQL Server. If you are planning to use dedicated server for hosting email accounts or used as a firewall, then you should decide which one you are most happy with.

 

Managed or unmanaged plan

You must know what managed service and unmanaged service are, in a nutshell managed service means that the dedicated server plan provider will administer the dedicated server for you. This service could comprise operating system update, network maintenance, security update, backup data and other server maintenance task.

While unamanaged service means that the dedicated server plan provider will only give minimum to no support for your dedicated server, all maintenance

duty and updates are in your hand. In unmanaged plan the dedicated server service provider, commonly will only give redundant power and HVAC (Heat, Ventilating and Air Conditioning) support.

 

Bandwidth

Bandwidth are getting less expensive these days and also larger in size. A number of dedicated server plan provider even present unlimited bandwidth, but not because they offer “unlimited” bandwidth means that they can supply such bandwidth. So be wary about this, don’t just purchase a dedicated server plan only because the plan offers unlimited stuff.

 

Server Hardware Specification

The hardware specifications of the dedicated server also plays an significant role, if you host a high traffic site that provides multimedia contents, you don’t want to use a server with only 512MB of RAM and a single core processor because this type of task is too much for hardware with that specification. You have to be positive the dedicated server is up to the job, but don’t go overboard.
