Dedicated hosting is the ideal solution for the growing number of businesses with a requirement for faster, larger and more reliable hosting.
Shared Hosting vs Dedicated Hosting
Traditional 'shared' hosting often represents the best route when establishing an initial Internet presence. Shared hosting can be a very cost-effective solution and time from order to service activation is usually low. For many organisations, shared hosting may well remain the best solution.
Shared hosting also has a number of drawbacks. As resources are shared, it is possible for one customer to monopolise the server if their site is very resource intensive or receiving large numbers of visitors. This affects the performance of all the other sites hosted on the server, too.
Lots of users all sharing the same server also raises security concerns for many customers who are worried that there is a potential for other users on the same server to access their data. This risk can only be eliminated completely by physically separating the data onto a dedicated server.
Shared hosting is generally not very well suited to projects where high availability is important. Some sites on the same server may experience 'surges' in activity, causing the server to become overloaded and become unavailable. Other customers will also use it as a testing ground for their programs, which could cause the server to crash if they are badly written.
Generally: If your project requires fast, reliable or high-capacity hosting, a dedicated server is the right solution.
Our team of Internet experts will work with you to establish the best hosting solution to accommodate your current and future needs - whether this is a single server, or a cluster of systems within a dedicated suite.

Service Details
Entry-level - Single Server
Your own server which is dedicated to whatever you want, working exclusively for you - around the clock. This solution is ideal for smaller projects which need extra flexibility, security or have outgrown shared hosting.
Multiple Servers
Usuaully a database server, web server and a dedicated server for images. This provides the next step up for sites whose requirements exceed the capacity of a single server, but do not require the availability and capacity of a clustered solution.
High Capacity - Multiple Server Cluster
For sites requiring the ultimate in reliability and capacity, a clustered solution is usually the answer. Several servers work together to provide all aspects of the service, providing significantly increased capacity which can be scaled up easily as required. This also provides reliability benefits as remaining servers can continue working in the event of failure of a single, or even multiple units.
