Just like when your teenage son says he needs more room and it’s time to fly the nest, so your website grows until it can no longer run quickly on your shared web hosting server. Sometimes you just have to accept that it’s time to let it spread its wings.
Obviously having children and running a competitive professional e-business is not the same thing, even if they are occasionally both petulant and demanding. The premise is the same however; with your website growing and your desire to put more and more information on the web hosting server.
Giving your website its own dedicated server means allowing it to grow, giving you more opportunities to write blogs, add more features, answer customer queries quickly and efficiently, and conduct customer feedback surveys so that you can identify what you are doing right, or wrong.
All of these things will make browsing your site a more immersing experience, which will mean you get more clients learning more about your goods and services, and hopefully buying more of your products.
At CWCS we answer questions every day on the different benefits of having your own dedicated server. We understand how important a good site is to a business, and can help you with ideas to make your customers’ browsing experience more fulfilling. We appreciate the problems all internet businesses have with budgeting, and can offer very reasonable, cheap web hosting services appropriate to your company’s needs.
One of the biggest concerns about colocation of your server to a secured site is that you may not find access to the system so easily available. How will you maintain and adjust your server should you wish to upload information, upgrade the hardware or just check up on usage? How do you know that your server is in safe hands, and with your hardware possibly further away, how can you be assured your machine is protected?
Your colocation site must allow good access so you can check on your bandwidth usage and internet activity, as well as having someone there, hands on, in case something should go wrong. A good system will also have some form of protection against flooding and good fire procedures to ensure the safety of your hardware and data. You would expect, therefore, some form of cooling system, and constant temperature monitoring, as well as some form of protection from other elemental accidents such as lightening strikes causing power surges.
Then there is the issue of computer hacking and viruses. A solid secure firewall is an absolute must, and good security in and around the grounds is a good idea too. Of course you need a friendly knowledgeable team to help you and support you with everything you want to do as well.
At web hosting agency CWCS, we have been offering colocation services for many years, and know exactly what you need to be assured that your system is in safe hands. Call us today and chat with our staff to see how we can offer you the security you need.
When companies start the internet arms of their businesses, it is often as a speculative approach rather than a fully fledged investment. Professionalism is kept, but the true understanding of the web market’s demands and the depth of internet experience is often missed. This is a sensible approach as none of us have money to burn, but as time goes on, and as your e-business grows, it will soon become apparent that this minimal approach simply won’t provide you with the revenue you would like.
One of the first areas where businesses find they have to upgrade is in their web hosting. A poor hosting service can reduce your custom and your reputation. Internet buyers are fickle and impatient. If your website is run by a no-frills web hosting company you may find connection problems, where your customers try to use your site, but eventually give up because it is too slow, or continually crashes. Alternatively you may find that the new order form you wish to put on your site means having to buy much more memory space.
At CWCS we can help you with any of these website hosting issues. Our professional friendly team are here to help you find the right solutions to your business needs, whilst still being very aware of your business budget. We understand how in this time of austerity, any investment must be competitively priced and economically justified. This is why we are one of the leading award-winning companies within the UK web hosting market.
Hosting a large corporate website can be a challenging but rewarding task, the right hosting solution will ensure your web presence is not interrupted with downtime and your website boasts the highest level of performance.
Fail over web hosting solutions should be considered when hosting large websites handling large amounts of traffic. The best way to consider a fail over hosting solution is to measure the impact caused to your business if websites were off-line. If it’s crucial to your business the websites are available 100% of the time, fail over hosting solutions are the way to go.
What are my options?
There are different methods of failover web hosting solutions, a load balanced solution will ensure there is still availability if a server node does go off-line. Performance may suffer in the event of a server going off-line, although there will still be hosting servers available to handle your request. This hosting solution offers an instant switch-over where the load balancer is dedicated to routing traffic based on availability and load. Traffic is only passed to available servers which have enough resources to handle the request.
Another option is a mirrored server, at a separate location. The server is kept up-to-date with frequent incremental updates to your data. Although, the secondary server would not handle traffic unless there is a problem with the primary server. This method of fail-over covers any disasters the primary location including power outages, network problems, physical damage, and any problems with the primary server.
