I currently have a dedicated server with Hostgator. Are there advantages in having a dedicated server compared to a shared server. I currently have around 25 domains? Thanks
There are a lot of advantages of having dedicated server if you have a high traffic site. Without high traffic site shared hosting is ok. One of the important advantages of dedicated server is that when your site is in shared hosting it is sharing all the server resources with other sites also but in the dedicated server of your own you have the full power;there is no shared CPU resource use. If you site is using more CPU resources than your site will be banned in shared hosting. You can even host 25 domains in a shared hosting account. Bandwidth is not the concerned unit. But it is all about the "CPU usage" what makes the main difference between shared hosting and dedicated server hosting. Just ask yourself if you get 6TB bandwidth buying baby shared hosting plan only for $7.95 why you will spend $174.00 for buying a dedicated server with 1.5TB Bandwidth?
