Dedicated Server Commands

:There are two answers to this, but the basic one is yes. If you are starting your own business and do not want to hire an IT Staff or a person to run your web server, having a dedicated server is a very good idea. Essentially you are hosting your web site on another company’s computer. This company lives off of your money and as such will work their hardest to keep you and your service as a customer. This means they will keep their software up to date, and their downtime to a minimum in the event of a hardware failure. Another thing to consider is the amount of bandwidth you will be using for your website. A dedicated host will usually have a better bandwidth than your local ISP would. Having a dedicated server also means that you do not need to have a computer in your office or home that is always on and could require a special internet connection from your Internet Service Provider (ISP). This also means you do not have direct control over this server, but that is okay because as stated earlier, the service provider, or host, needs your service. The more complicated answer is for people who know more about computers and have an extra one in their house. There are ways of keeping your computer on the Internet without having special connections from your ISP, but it is not for the faint of heart. This will allow you far greater customization, but at the cost of having to manage your own software and hardware.
