  3. Dedicated Servers – The Basics • DEDICATED SERVER - WHAT IS IT? • Usually, businesses and various companies purchase servers, and from there many virtual servers are implemented to assist in running a successful business. The downside to virtual servers is that it does impact the performance of the physical box they are run from. If you see that the end product is slow, poor performing or generally not what you expect, then you need to look at investing in a dedicated server. • WHAT OPTIONS DO I HAVE? • There are a vast amount of ideas for you to research. The higher the CPU, Bandwidth, CPU and storage then the better data plan you have. Usually, there are different cost plans available; you can pay an annual or monthly fee. For very successful businesses then there typically are options for business plans, so your staff can use the tool correctly. • WHAT ELSE SHOULD I KNOW? • If you go down the route of buying a plan online then usually that means you're not only paying for the server but also for all the maintenance, round the clock support and well-developed end user experience, it's a perfect solution to your problems. • There are a lot of packages available when investing in dedicated servers, but if you find the right provider, there should be customizable options, tailored specifically for all your needs. You may not necessarily need top CPU so always check with customer support if you give them all your requirements they will point you in the right direction.

  4. Dedicated Server Details • Processor - This is a circuit that processes all requests that are sent to it. The higher-quality processor, the better. If you are a light user, you may not necessarily need the best processor going so bear that in mind. • Cores - Is the place in the computer system where all the requests are performed. • Processor Speed - This means how fast requests will happen. If you are impatient or have a history of slow devices, try and look at this aspect before purchasing. • RAM - This stands for Random Access Memory, it essentially stores data related to the machine. If you find any slow issues the first place to check is here. • Hard Drives - Is a data storage device. If you are a gamer, someone who primarily uses a device for playing games, then you need a lot of space on the hard drive. Likewise, if you are a heavy user and a fan of keeping anything and everything on your device you'll need a lot of hard drive space. • Tech Support - This term refers to specialists who can fix any problems with the machine or device. Typically, there are various methods of contacting them. You can email, message via online chats and even make phone calls.

  5. Features Of A Dedicated Server • SERVER ADMINISTRATION AND MANAGEMENT • To ensure your chosen server performs incredibly well; a lot of checks and software are programmed in to keep your system healthy. This feature is particularly useful as you can set up monitoring for things like high memory, CPU usage and can even check disk space sizes too. For a dedicated server to run efficiently, it needs to be in excellent condition at all hours. • Server management also includes things like various patches and updates to the operating system. If you had your own server, you'd have to focus on managing the updates by yourself, which can be time-consuming and the effort required to keep the device as secure as possible needs to be a top priority. • ONLINE HELP • If you opt for a dedicated server, one of the most useful services and features would be the technical support team. This is where you should turn if you come across any errors, error messages or general problems. Even if you're quite advanced in a technical aspect, you should still ask for the help; it's there for you to use, to help speed up fixing the issues you may encounter.

  6. Features Of A Dedicated Server • SECURITY • When you do anything online, be it, make a payment or create accounts and password, you need a strong level of security on the website or host from which you're working from. Dedicated servers have fantastic security packages available. Ideally what you want is enough protection for the server, both virtually and physically. When it then comes to applications and the internet, there needs to be a strong enough firewall, malware prevention and allocated or dedicated IP addresses. Using dedicated IP addresses means that you're not opening your server up to hacking, as the only IP addresses allowed to connect with your server and the internet, are the addresses set up and approved in the configuration stages. • OPERATING SYSTEMS • You need to pick an operating system which is compatible with your needs; this is where a lot of people may not necessarily know the information required. If you are unsure, it is recommended you liaise with technical support beforehand, so you don't go buying the wrong dedicated server plan and waste too much money.

  7. Dedicated Servers For Gamers • A quick browse through a search engine will come back with thousands of different companies trying to offer you competitive prices and decent plans but which one should you rent? A lot of it depends on what sort of game you are playing. Most people tend to go online to enjoy the multiplayer aspect, where they feel like a team, and it feels almost like live action role play, but in the comfort of your own home. • In this case, if you are a casual online gamer, a dedicated server would suit you best. When you log onto your laptop or desktop, you typically would have to be logged into the game to do things like receive updates, restart and re-log back in. With a dedicated server, the game is continuously up and running and can perform things like downloading without your presence there. • If you do choose a dedicated server, you'll find the performance to be of high-quality, and lag-free. You will need to make sure there are concurrent connections in place and that this does not affect the gaming experience either. A concurrent connection is a reference to the number of users wanting to connect with the game at any one time. If you are self-hosting or are using a dedicated server, then ensure you get good usage and performance overall, if you're unsure speak to the technical support with any questions you may have. • In 2018 a lot of gamers do enjoy using a dedicated server for their gaming experience, it's an easy option, simple setup and constant help from technical support, usually, this is around the clock services. • Typically, when you turn to this option, it can be referred to as a solution, and quite rightly so. It offers a happy outcome for you, for a low price you gain a lot of value for money. There's also the security aspect. If you have a dedicated server, it’s very well protected against trojans, viruses and malware.
