Bottom line: Unlike
Managed Hosting, you are in charge of the operating system
and all installed applications. You are allowed "root" or
"admin" access to the server. If you accidentally or otherwise
damage the Operating System or any other installed applications,
either you can fix it or you can pay us to fix it for you.
DNA Servers is responsible for the server hardware, redundant
power, cooling, switches, routers and bandwidth.
Dedicated Hosting provides an exclusive server, or servers,
devoted only to your Web site. Complex and high traffic Web
sites operate more efficiently on a dedicated server because
they are more secure and provide better performance. Therefore,
sites which have secure information, a high number of visitors
or complex applications (i.e. online shopping, database backend,
etc..) are the perfect candidates for a dedicated server.
-
Intended
Clients and Uses
Dedicated hosting is an excellent solution for mid to high level
hosting needs. Designed to host busy e-commerce sites
and dynamic, database driven Web pages, Dedicated Hosting offers Webmasters
and IT departments a fast, powerful and reliable Web
presence.
-
Server Response
Time
Dedicated Hosting performance is unparalleled. With only
your site consuming server resources, you can be sure that
you are getting 100% of the processing power of the server.
-
Flexibility and
Scalability
As you are the only client on the server, upgrade
capacity is practically unlimited. We can add additional
drives, more memory and even cluster servers together when
you web site requires additional resources.
-
Software
Dedicated Hosting has no limits on what software can be
installed on the server. We will gladly install programs for
you. You can even install programs remotely via remote
control software or TCP/IP mapped network drives.
-
Data Backup
Unlike our Managed Hosting
plans,
Dedicated Hosting does not include our Network Backup
Service. It can however be purchased as an "extra" starting
at $30 per month per month for full daily backup. Network Backup Service is included
with all our Managed Hosting
plans.
-
Technical Requirements
At a minimum, basic server "operating system" and "web server" skills
are required for Dedicated Hosting, because "you" are in charge
of the server. If you don't possess the required technical
expertise or simply don't want to incur the cost of a full
time server administrator, you should look into our
Managed Hosting plans.
Our
Managed Hosting plans
are only slightly more money per month and include
Network Backup Service
which is a $99 (per month) value.
