Services From A Dedicated Server
Most of the dedicated servers you hire are managed dedicated servers i.e. every aspect regarding the upkeep of your server is done by the providers giving you the service. The most important of them all is the Operating System Updates. For example, the operating system might issue newer solutions for problems, patches, system vulnerability solutions etc which can be availed only if your server has access to Operating System Updates option.
Almost all the providers give this Operating System Updates for free and this is the main reason why this type seems to excel over other servers like the Colocation Centre or a Cloud Hosting because updating the Operating System all by ourselves will consume lot of our precious time. This means that it is an added headache for people who own a big website as they have to take care of lot of other things like providing content, keeping the website intact, improving the layout, upkeep etc.
Security scans is another prime reason for dedicated servers to be preferred by most of the clients or big websites. See, the customers visiting these big websites leave their information, data or details with the feeling that it will be secure. Hence, if the website fails to keep it intact then it is obvious that it will reduce the customer traffic to that particular website in due course of time. It can give the maximum possible security to the details, information or data of the customers including the website owners sensitive details as well. The option of security scans will help in maintaining that integrity of the website.
Some of the other important services provided in a Dedicated Server that scores over other types of servers like the free hosting service and shared hosting service are application updates, server monitoring, load balancing, DDoS protection, firewall services, security audits, technical support, SNMP hardware monitoring etc. All of the services mentioned here are unique about this server and this invariably makes it highly advantageous. If you take a close look in, DDoS (Distributed Denial of Service) protection is the one which helps users from receiving the service from the website 24x7. (You might have visited websites which are valid but still your browser wouldnt be able to locate it. This is called Denial of Service and it can be due to many reasons like overloading, low bandwidth etc.).
