Why have a dedicated server?
Dedicated servers give you can have sole control of a server that enjoys all the advantages of a managed server, without purchasing the hardware outright, or paying anything extra for accommodation, maintenance and updates.
Dedicated server hosts such as UKFast, the UK’s best hosting provider for three years running, have seen a massive increase in sales of dedicated servers to businesses who previously had shared servers.
Dedicated server hosts assist you in the year-round system administration of servers and even assist you in trouble-shooting.

There are many reasons for the increase in the number of companies needing a dedicated server these include:
The need for speed: The online industry is extremely competitive and server response times in a shared hosting environment depend highly on the activity of the other sites your company is sharing with.
Increased reliability: With a dedicated server you can avoid downtime caused by other websites sharing your server, thus providing you with a reliable way to meet the needs of your customers.
The need for enhanced security: A dedicated server can also provide better security for your site, shielding you from the problems that can develop when others are using the same server.
Customisation and scalability: As your company grows, your website will have to keep up with it. A dedicated server allows you to adapt your applications, increase bandwidth, and upgrade as needed.
