If a person runs a blog, in most cases, basic virtual hosting is sufficient. However, for a large corporation's website, an online store, or an online service, a powerful dedicated server is necessary. The options are either to set up your own server or rent a dedicated server from a data center. The main question that concerns most clients is the cost of renting a physical server.
It all depends on the configuration. Cost of server rental in the Netherlands with 2 TB of disk space, 8 GB of RAM, and a dual-core processor – 98 currency units per month. If we talk about 12 TB of disk space, 256 GB of RAM, and a 20-core processor – the cost of renting a physical server will be 503 currency units per month. Are there advantages to this?
Of course there are. Firstly, computer hardware becomes outdated and cheaper very quickly. Just the fact of purchase drops the price by 30%, afterwards the price decreases by 15% each year. So, a server loses its value by three times after 5 years, unless it fails. You will only be able to sell it for several times less. Plus, it incurs expensive electricity costs.
By renting a server from ProHoster, you are free from many of these problems. You simply gain the necessary resources to maintain the performance of a high-load website. Any failures are repaired at our expense, without interrupting access to your site. There are no costs for internet and electricity.
Server rental on hosting
The main advantage of renting a server in a data center is its reliability and uninterrupted operation. If a site is briefly offline, its search engine rankings will drop several positions. Moreover, user trust will significantly decrease. Few people will want to shop at an online store that occasionally goes offline.
At ProHoster, uninterrupted operation is ensured by:
- Powerful uninterruptible power supplies;
- Several backup fiber optic communication lines;
- Equipment redundancy for hot-swapping capability.
Full access to the server is provided. You can rent a server with a pre-installed OS and necessary programs, or you can install the required operating system yourself. The server can be upgraded and necessary components can be added for an additional fee.
The advantages of our servers hosting include abuse resistance – immunity to complaints. 'Abuse' translates from English as misuse. Therefore, our servers located in the Netherlands allow hosting many types of challenging content: adult, online earnings, and gambling. At the same time, the servers have low ping due to the use of traffic exchange points like AMS-IX, DE-CIX, NL-IX, FR-IX, NDIX.
