4 Steps to Choosing the Right Dedicated Server
Introduction
Choosing a dedicated server is a significant decision. Here are four essential steps to help you make the best choice.
1) Reliability
Reliability is crucial, but it's not something you can gauge just by visiting a company's website. Conduct thorough research by seeking reviews from past or current clients. Use search engines to look up phrases like "Rackspace review" or "EV1Servers review." Additionally, explore the support forums of these hosts if available. This can reveal how quickly they respond to issues and address customer feedback, giving you a better sense of their reliability.
2) Cost
While everyone loves a good deal, choosing the cheapest server might not be ideal if it comes with poor support or outdated hardware. Low-cost options might offer limited performance, especially during traffic spikes. Compare each host's prices with their server specs, bandwidth, network capabilities, and support guarantees. Consider whether it’s worth investing in a more reliable, albeit more expensive, option.
3) Support
Quality support is vital, especially during downtime or technical issues like DDoS attacks. Test the support team's responsiveness before making a purchase. If possible, contact them via email or call. Alternatively, check if there's a support forum to post questions or review existing threads to evaluate how thoroughly and quickly their technicians respond.
4) Longevity
While new companies can offer excellent service, longevity often indicates stability. Check the host’s domain registration to see how long they've been in business. An established company might suggest they are reliable. However, newer companies might be more eager to please and provide exceptional support. Use your judgment to weigh the benefits of choosing a seasoned host versus a promising newcomer.
Conclusion
Selecting a dedicated server involves more than just finding the best deal. By considering reliability, cost, support, and longevity, you’ll be better equipped to choose a hosting provider that meets your needs. Trust your instincts and research thoroughly for the best results.
