Cheap Dedicated Server Solutions

Reducing Your Cost By Renting A Cheap Dedicated Server

A budget dedicated server can be cheaper than some shared hosting accounts or some Virtual private servers and can give you much more flexibility.

Even if you are paying rock bottom prices on a shared hosting account you can save money by switching to a cheap dedicated server. You might be wondering how you would save money. Well if you have two or three shared web accounts that could already pay for a cheap dedicated server.

Or consider how many friends you have that run their own website. And every one of them is probably paying for a shared hosting account. If you rented a cheap dedicated server and then charged them a small monthly or yearly fee. In some cases you could just give your friends a web account on your server.

Some of the budget dedicated server providers even offer reseller software for the servers so you can easily tie in billing options and become your own webhost (you would be surprised by how many small hosting companies do just that).

Cheap Dedicated Servers Can Save You Money

"Cheap dedicated servers" maybe isn't the right name for them; they are really just affordable dedicated servers that were considered high end, just a few years ago. Now here is how you can save a lot of money by renting an affordable dedicated server.

1) Your total hosting costs can be spread out over multiple websites that you can host on a cheap dedicated server. Just three websites on your very own web server will lower your hosting cost to around $10 per site and you will be on your own machine, instead of having to share with others.

2) The hidden cost of loosing potential customers or web surfers because the web server where your shared account is on is bogged down because a couple of other websites are maxxing out the system resources. And this can happen easily.

This is an intangible cost because each website has a different value assigned to a customer or web surfer. But by moving your site to a cheap dedicated server you can reduce or eliminate this hidden cost.

3) The cost of brand association with a negative brand. there are tools on the Internet that allow you to check what all the domain names are that are hosted on the same server (linktosuchatoolhere) you can try the tool that we linked to and type in your current website domain name to see what other sites are your friendly or not-so-friendly neighbors.

Where this can be detrimental is if there is a site that has questionable or controversial content on it and it is on the same server as yours. By renting a cheap dedicated server you can eliminate this risk because only your sites will show up when you do the search.
