Two Main Reasons Why you Should Pick VPS Hosting Over Dedicated Hosting
Dedicated hosting is the most powerful version of hosting available to the common man (granted to can always link multiple dedicated servers together in order to get a bigger server bandwidth and space). However, too many people make the jump into dedicated hosting without realising that they probably will not need it and will end up paying for it. So before you go looking for the best priced dedicated hosting you can find take a look at these few reasons below of why you should not go dedicated.
Reason One: Dedicated hosting is expensive, meaning that it will take more money out of your profits, if any, and may take you a long time to recover. You may be better of working with cheaper insurance and then going through the pain of moving servers at a later date to insure that you save money.
Reason Two: In many cases dedicated hosting does not come with live support, it is usually assumed that you know what you are doing and will be able to install all the correct features yourself with little to no help. The help that you do get, which is usually from a ticketing system can take hours to come through by which time if there is a fault with your server you have already lost a massive amount of visitors. These visitors could be potential buyers, affiliates or could have been people that would have linked to your site, it may not seem like a persuasive argument, but once it happens to you, then you will see the true stress.
In summary dedicated hosting should only be reserved for those people who are either technically skilled or have someone that is technically skilled to help them, they should also have a large amount of investment money or a highly profitable business which they are moving. In truth this kind of hosting is not for a new person walking onto the web mastering scene.
