Why to choose dedicated hosting against shared hosting :
Posted by Harry under Dedicated Server HostingAs far as hosting is concern we have multiple choices such as shared hosting, dedicated hosting, VPS Hosting. Depending on our need and budget we opt the one. Each type has its own importance.
Although hosting your web sites on your own dedicated server may seem a little expensive in comparison to shared web hosting but the cost may be covered through the benefit we get.
*) Shared web hosting, no matter how well managed, cannot be always 100% reliable and stable whereas if you have dedicated server you can manage to avoid most of the variables affecting the reliability and stability of a server.
*) On a dedicated server you will install only software and applications you want to use, while on a shared hosting server you will find a host of other software and applications installed for other users.
*) A dedicated server:reduces your dependency on the web host; and bypasses time delays and possible expenses incurred from these. Where as in shared hosting you don’t have much more rights to resolve your problems so it may take time to get settle on certain issue.
*) As compared to shared hosting in dedicated server hosting you get instant support from your host whenever required, they give you more priority.
*) Dedicated server helps you to load your site faster and there are much less chances that you site is down due to certain technical reason this will ensure your visitor won’t leave your site.

I think it depends on your actual requirement, in short, Shared hosting is just like you share a room with a few other room mates means you should prepare for facing the challenges in the world of sharing but it is most suitable option if your site yet to achieve heavy traffic. Alternatively if your site get heavy traffic means it need technical experts to monitor it, in case you should look for a dedicated hosting.

When your site have a huge database with lot of data updating and adding everyday then it becomes necessary for you to opt for a dedicated server as in dedicated servers you have huge diskspace and bandwidth which helps in smooth running of your site.

As you grow in your business you need saving your man hours and downtime, hence for better performance, security and control of everything you should go for dedicated hosting.

One should opt for a dedicated server only when necessary. For a new site which doesn’t require too much space and bandwidth and doesn’t get too much traffic either, shared hosting would be enough.
I tend to disagree with the writer on the following points
“”Shared web hosting, no matter how well managed, cannot be always 100% reliable and stable whereas if you have dedicated server you can manage to avoid most of the variables affecting the reliability and stability of a server.”"
It depends on your choice of the host, just because the server is shared with few other sites doesn’t mean that it is unreliable and unstable.
“”As compared to shared hosting in dedicated server hosting you get instant support from your host whenever required, they give you more priority.”"
Completely incorrect and false statement. Just because a customer has purchased a dedicated server doesnt mean he gets more priority from the support dept. If it does happen somewhere then the company is very unrealiable.

That’s really good point Managed Dedicated Server, I agree with that, it all depends on the host that you choose, every plan has its own significance and attributes that is the reason most of the hosting companies still offering those plan. This reminded me one on-going thread in webhosting.uk forum that’s somewhat related with vps vs dedicated hosting.
