Have you ever wondered what would happen to your dedicated server if there was a fire? Your system is perfect, generating lots of queries and starting to pay for itself, with good clients who enjoy the anonymity of the internet, and benefitting from the savings it provides. You are recognising what a good investment it turned out to be and are enjoying the opportunity to tell your friends how technically proficient you have become. Then, on one horrible night, when you least expected it, there is a fire.
The fire rips through your offices, and warehouse causing thousands of pounds worth of damage. Your stock is horribly ruined and you simply don’t know what to do. Sure, you are insured, but that’s for stock. What about the customers? With your main computer dedicated server burnt to a crisp you have no idea about your client base, no clue as to any current orders that, with a bit of good will and a little luck, you could still fulfil. It becomes much more than a disaster. It becomes calamitous. This could be the very end of your hard earned reputation.
Your clients will naturally be disappointed, but most clients accept that things happen from time to time, and at least you were insured. Your dedicated server, however – why did you keep your server in such a vulnerable place?
At CWCS we have all the information you need to allay your worries, and prime collocations for your server to reside at affordable prices. Maybe it’s time to insure your business’ reputation. Whether your personal preference is the familiarity of a Windows dedicated server, or the reliability of Linux server hosting, we’ve got it covered.
You may have heard the phrase “Open-Source” used in computing terms. It’s thrown about by programmers who really know what they’re talking about. Wikipedia says “open-source” describes practices that promote access to the end product’s source materials. The truth is that, for the programmers that work with this software in web hosting, it is much more than that.
Designed in the sixties as a method of securing a network of computers from attack by connecting each computer without a central hub, the Internet has effortlessly broken free from the many shackles big business and government has tried to laden it with. Whilst the internet may be society’s double edged sword in one respect, in another it is as close to the free market economics Milton Friedman promoted in the post war economic revolutions.
To most of us, the internet is a window on the rest of the world, but to programmers it is a haven of freedom and creativity. Open-source material, such as the Linux server operating system, means that all of the programming code is available for anyone to use and play with. It means that if someone writes a virus, any keen programmer can look through the code and find a solution. This openness is so successful that systems such as Linux have only a fraction of the viruses expected in a windows system.
At CWCS we have all the information you need about Linux servers and Linux managed hosting systems, to make sure you are using the safest and most up to date technology available.
When choosing the right Linux or Windows server for your system, there is much to consider. How much down-time is there? What kind of bandwidth does it provide? For a start-up or small company, these problems may seem a little over-reaching, but when another firm is using a shared served with you and they have a high amount of traffic, you may find your pride and joy playing second fiddle.
Finding a shared Windows or Linux server that works for you and your customers is vital. For a start, if the server has similar sized websites hosted on it then you would imagine that no one site has priority over the others. Also, knowing that some high security sites may get hit by hackers and virus could cause you a little concern.
This is not the kind of information the web hosting service will tell you about, however. Instead, these are things that you may find out and become increasingly disappointed with over the course of time. Your trust in a good web hosting provider is essential to ensure you have a good working relationship and a sound and stable environment for your site.
At CWCS we run our own web hosting facilities, which means we aren’t just a broker. If you want the server with us, it stays with us, and that is why we have been voted number one. We are your personal host, here to provide you with the personal service you need and your customers demand. Check out our offers and see what we can do for you.
Size matters. As business people you already know that a prospective client’s first impression of you is the most important. Knowing you have a good image and a great website is only part of the issue. It is vital that your new exciting site can handle the traffic it will undoubtedly attract. You don’t want your investment to be wasted, and all too often companies make the mistake of not crossing the t’s by emloying a reliable web site hosting package.
One example of a mistake often made by new companies is to spend all their money on the site and no time or money on a dedicated server. This means that whilst customers were impressed by what they saw, when they actually requested information or placed orders, they found reaction times slow and cumbersome. This is easily resolved with just a few reasonable steps and a healthy bit of sound advice.
A dedicated server for your business means your future clients are well looked after. They shouldn’t suffer delays at the point of transaction, nor should they have to suffer through time outs or system down. Instead, they should receive a good quick efficient service, just as you provide a good quick and efficient service yourself.
Ask our team at CWCS for more information as to the benefits of a dedicated server, as well as finding the right deal for you. There are many opportunities out there for the smart e-business. Maximising yours opportunities is the key to internet success and profit.
