Get a Dedicated Server If You Are Serious..
WebFusion has given its virtual private server (VPS) range a complete revamp, providing industry-leading value for money and a raft of new features to maximise website performance.
The new WebFusion VPSs have unlimited traffic with guaranteed and burstable RAM to ensure that websites perform, even when handling sudden traffic peaks. The latest version of the Plesk control panel, combined with the Virtuozzo control panel at the back end, provides webmasters with root access for complete control. Linux-based VPSs are Ruby and Ruby-on-Rails ready and run on Ubuntu 6.06, while Windows servers are equipped with SQL Server 2005 and ASP.net 2.0.
With prices from £14.99 per month, WebFusion VPSs are available on Linux and Windows, and are perfect for both webmasters of business critical websites and the reseller community.
“Our new range of virtual private servers is our best yet,” says Mark Beyer, sales and marketing director at WebFusion. “Server enhancements, such as guaranteed and burstable RAM, mean that our VPSs are a step closer to providing dedicated server performance, with a price normally associated with shared hosting. We believe these advancements make our VPS offering the best in class.”
Additional benefits of WebFusion VPS include:
• Lower prices, with servers available from £14.99 per month
• Better hardware: Dell PowerEdge 2950 Energy Smart
• New contention ratio for servers to reduce the effect of ‘noisy neighbours’ on the server
• Ruby preinstalled on Linux VPS and Ruby-on-Rails available via a single click in Plesk
• Extra disk space available
• SCSI RAID 10 for reliability and business continuity
• Plesk 8.1 installed as standard (worth £200)
• Root access available via VirtuozzoFor more information about Web HostingWebFusion VPS, please visit http://www.webfusion.co.uk/vps
If you are serious about making money online or serious about making an impact online if you are doing it purely out of the goodness of your heart, then at some point you really need to research the pros and cons of a dedicated server set-up.
If you start to get some good traffic to your site you should seriously consider moving your site to a dedicated server. You will not be able to handle good traffic on shared hosting. Which is what most of you would be using at the moment. All the $1-$10 per months deals are shared hosting. Which means anywhere up to 100,000 other sites share your IP address and share the same server you do. (Ever wondered why it took so long to load your dashboard?)
I think this Virtual Servers deal is brilliant. Because you get all the benefits of a dedicated server at a lower cost. Sound too good to be true? Check it for yourself.
Another potential benefit of a dedicated server is that you are likely to rank better in the search engines. Do not ask me to explain why, I just know that is the prevailing wisdom. Similar to the idea, perhaps, that you rank better on your own .com versus a blogspot or other free hosting platform. Maybe it goes to the commitment you are displaying? I do not know. I just know it works.
