It has become a vital necessity for every business to look for efficiency and a fully-functional website that is available 24/7. Performance and quality are the key factors here even if you must invest more. That is one reason most of the successful businesses are often seen using the Windows dedicated server hosting. In a dedicated server, the entire machine is at the disposal of one single entity. They will not be competing or sharing the resources with other unknown websites.

There are several advantages when you buy dedicated server. These include:

  • You have root access: While the Linux users can access the server via the SSH, the Windows dedicated server clients can use the Remote Desktop technology to configure the server. You can customize the server in any manner to suit your needs. Clients have the freedom to house unlimited websites, choose the hardware, and install any software application they find necessary.
  • Complete security and privacy: The servers are robustly built and housed in highly secure and redundant data centers. With firewalls, anti-malware solutions, and regular anti-virus scans, data backups, there is no risk at all to your website contents. Nobody can gain access to your data without your prior approval. 24/7 physical security at the data center assures that there is no possibility of infrastructure theft.
  • Reliability: The total server resources are with you alone. The fear of other websites pulling up more resources and slowing down your site in the process is not there with the dedicated machine. You are provided with a dedicated IP and a control panel to manage your account (cPanel for Linux users and Plesk for Windows users). The host commits to network uptime of at least 99.95% and low latency.

It is necessary for a business to choose Windows servers if their website is built on the Microsoft technologies of ASP.NET. However, you can purchase Windows dedicated server hosting even if your website is built on any of the other script languages like Perl, PHP, Python etc. This is because Windows is compatible with all the major operating systems and scripts.

Price:

Windows dedicated server hosting plans are higher in cost in comparison to Linux. This is because Windows is a Microsoft-owned software and is commercially sold. You must purchase a license to use the technology. The plus point is you can ensure superior performance and compatibility with all the other top-notch Microsoft technologies like Visual Interdev, Smart Bundle Pro, Windows Streaming Media, Microsoft SharePoint etc.

When selecting a Windows dedicated server hosting provider, make sure they offer 24/7/365 days customer and technical support. You should be able to get in touch with them at any time when you have some issues with the server which is affecting the performance.
