Shared servers are the best in term of cost effectiveness, but it comes with its package of disadvantages. Since you share a space on a server with multiple websites, there is a high risk of virus and spam attacks, and in worst cases, your site may get blocked without your knowledge. If you are looking for other options than shared servers, then you are left with basically two options- dedicated server and colocation web hosting service. While the former is preferred by those who have no problem as far as finances are concerned, colocation is a better option for those who want to save time and money on infrastructure investment. When a web hosting company owns a server, it is called a dedicated server, while in colocation, the company opting for the server owns it, thus by opting for colocation you get high quality services at an affordable cost.

Although anybody can go for colocation web hosting service but it is a perfect option for those, who are low on budget and don’t want the technical know-how. Maintenance of servers is another headache which comes attached to dedicated servers. Since most of the web hosting companies providing colocation services have good, spacious data centers at secure locations and they employ special security staff to ensure that your data on the server is safe. Data centers of colocation web hosting companies also have an expert technical staff which handles any problems, that may come up in the connectivity of your server. Colocation eases up life, since you don’t have to manage the server or worry about the interruption in connectivity, since all the data centers have 24×7 power back up and most important of all, it gives high internet bandwidth availability at affordable cost.

How important is the role of a website, needs no mention! It is the fastest and easiest way of reaching out to potential clients for a business, but at present times, when everybody is involved in the rat race to make themselves available to the market as fast as possible, one needs to ensure that the website is attracting enough traffic, despite tough competition. There are times, when one doesn’t get to know that the website has been blocked because other websites on the shared server, was blocked due to some objectionable content or because of a virus attack. A dedicated server, where you get your private server, is thus, much better an option, than a shared server. A dedicated server can be of two types- managed and unmanaged. Though both of them are much costlier than a shared server, but the decision which one to go for, totally depends on the complexity of your site and your computer skills.

Managed web hosting is perfect option for those who don’t have a technical know-how and would prefer the web hosting provider to handle installation, upgrading and maintaining the software. Those who have specialized IT team in their company, which can manage the server on daily basis, should opt for an unmanaged dedicated server, since this one is more cost effective than managed server. Before deciding which option you should go for, analyze your website’s requirements and check if the web hosting providing company gives you the option to shift to the other package later on, since you may feel that you would be able to handle the technical stuff yourself and thus cut down your expenses; the case can also be otherwise.
