- You expect to be a huge business very soon – Perhaps you haven’t started your web presence yet, but because of the sheer volume of business you have offline you know that your website will be on fire from day one. When you have a reputation for being a leader in your field, the last thing you want to do is launch a broken website that can’t handle the load being thrown at it. This is damaging to your brand, and could actually negatively impact your business instead of improving it, which a website should always do.
- You have outgrown your solution – Many users start with something small and need to grow over time. For example, most bloggers tend to start on free accounts, or maybe they pay for their website name. Once they get successful and bring in large amounts of traffic, they may get an unexpected price hike or even be asked to leave the service! At this point they would have to look at a dedicated solution. If you see the writing on the wall that you will need something bigger in the future, its best to resolve it sooner than later, or you could end up with faulty solution fast.
- Regulations – sharing a server with others, whether it is fellow business owners or a hosting service, can be problematic when it comes time to meet regulatory requirements. Say you need to update your security settings because a new regulation comes out on Monday, and it needs to be done by end of day Wednesday. However, the business that you share your server with is having a huge sale that it has planned for months on Monday and Tuesday, leaving you with a very small window to implement the updates. When you are the sole user of your server, this is a non-issue. You can make updates whenever you wish.
- Control – When you are the sole owner of your dedicated server, you have complete control over the system. You can have 2 cores or 8, 2 GB of RAM or 16. You can provide your specifications to Vault Networks and you can be up in a couple of days instead of a couple of months.
- 24/7 Technical Services – at Vault Networks you can leverage our Technicians to support you with your dedicated server. If you need us to make any physical modifications to your machine we will be more than happy to make arrangements.
