I had a friend named Tom once, and he ran a little web site on a little shared server with a little web host. Tom was happy with his few hundred visitors a month, and wasn’t concerned with the dedicated hosting world. That all changed though the day Tom’s web site was featured on one of the biggest cable news channels and his popularity grew. He started adding more features, pages and more to keep his visitors happy. He installed blogs, forums, feedback scripts and more.
Then one day Tom gets an e-mail from his little shared hosting provider and they say they can’t host him anymore because he has gotten too big for them. He is using too many of the server’s resources, so he’ll need to go out into the big world of dedicated server hosting. Thankfully though Tom has a few good tutorials and helpful links to help him along the way.
- Dedicated Hosting Shopping List
- Hosting is a 3 Course Meal
- Lunarpages Dedicated Server Hosting
- The Cost of Upgrading to a Dedicated Server
Now Tom has himself a dedicated hosting server and could not be happier. Sure it might cost a little more, and be a little more demanding but Tom realized he has to expand his hosting needs to meet the needs of his visitors and customers. Have you found yourself in Tom’s shoes before?
