When it comes to your business operations, every decision matters. Regarding computer management and web hosting capabilities, there are many features to consider, including which service plan is suitable for your business needs. The same goes for individuals who are considering investing in either a dedicated or virtual server plan. These server plans don’t have to be confusing. InnoHosting is here to help with clear answers to all of your server plan-related questions. We will help you determine which server plan is suitable for your needs and help you kickstart your new and improved business operations. 

What are Dedicated and Virtual Servers?

A dedicated server plan relies on a physical server that is dedicated to more precise functions. A user might need multiple dedicated servers, each with specifications that allow the users to break down their business operations. Sometimes, this also makes it easier for business owners to keep track of access to certain information by splitting their resources among multiple dedicated servers. 

In contrast, a virtual private server, also referred to as a VPS, isn’t as concrete as a dedicated physical server. One way to think about a VPS system is as an operating system that rests within a larger parent server through connecting with other electronic devices.

In other words, the term “hosting” comes into play because a VPS relies on different servers to function correctly. It can be shared with numerous users from anywhere at any time, which is why it is highly differentiated from a managed dedicated server.

Benefits of Virtual Servers

Both dedicated and virtual servers have their benefits. Some significant reasons you might want to consider investing in a VPS system include its wide range of accessibility, as mentioned above, and its customization capabilities. However, there are other reasons to consider, such as cost-effectiveness and reliability. VPS systems tend to be more cost-effective in the long run than most dedicated server systems. 

Furthermore, in theory they are more reliable and secure than their counterparts. Of course, one should always take precautions and learn about what they can do to protect themselves from phishing scams, viruses, and brute force attacks.

One last central element to consider is their scalability. VPS systems are easily scaled up or down as your business grows or if you no longer need certain functions. All of this bundled together makes VPS systems a viable option for most business needs.

Benefits of Dedicated Servers

If you want to hand over the reins to someone else so you can focus on other aspects of your business operations, then a managed dedicated server from InnoHosting might be the right choice for you. At InnoHosting, we will design your web hosting services for you with our managed dedicated server plans. You can also choose the level of involvement you want throughout the entire process and change your mind at any stage. In essence, we will become an extension of your current IT department. 

While these servers might appear more expensive upfront than their counterparts, they can also save the business money. You no longer need to invest those funds in a dedicated IT department within your business. Plus, you save time, which can ultimately let you focus on other needs. There is no underestimating the power of a dedicated managed server provider who promises to manage your infrastructure efficiently, securely and proactively. 

Furthermore, our managed dedicated server plans include PCI compliance, dedicated data center migrations, managed email hosting, server monitoring for both hardware and software, and security planning. These features work together to make a dedicated server the right option for business owners who need to free up their time, save money, and excel in their business.

So How Do You Choose?

Both virtual private servers and managed dedicated servers have their pros, which can make it a challenge to decide. Which is right for you? The first thing to remember is what you think your business needs most. If it is more time freed up and less direct control, then a dedicated server might be for you.

However, if you want a more comprehensive array of customization, web connection capabilities, and to keep direct control, then a private server might be better. InnoHosting can also answer all your questions and put you on the right path to a better business system.
