An aspect that has greatly contributed in making dedicated server hosting the most preferable choice to many. With dedicated web hosting server, users usually rent a server from the dedicated server hosting provider, which gives the users full accessibility to server resources. Users should factor in the following aspects when in the process of identifying the ideal dedicated web hosting server:
1. Hardware
So ultimately you need to compare offering by processor class, CPU speed, amount of RAM, and HDD type. Your dedicated server will always have limited I/O on the machine. It is very common that the bottleneck is the type of the HDDs you use. SSD gives you about 20x read/write speed than server class SATA drives, so the most cost effective model today is have SSD for the database.
2. Bandwidth
It is outright that websites that serve great number of visitors require higher bandwidth as compared to the ones that serve a smaller number of persons. Most of all, a large bandwidth capacity is need in the event the user intends to stream media files on the website.
Rarely there may be a requirement to have an access to your server physically. This usually entails higher cost due to security clearance that must occur every time you visit the data center.
