Question on Dedicated Server Being Cost-Effective

    I have a question that's been on my mind for quite a while.

    Assuming I had 5 sites, each with a specific shared hosting package from different providers. Would it be better for me to get a Dedicated Server and place them all on there? Would each site get its own IP address and would they be differentiated as such by search engines or will they get flagged?

    Essentially, when is it really necessary or practical to get a dedicated server?

    From an administrative point of view, having all sites in one location sounds easier.

    Thanks for your advice :)

    Hi,

    Unless you're ready to worry about admining a server and whatnot it's usually reccomended to use shared hosting with full support.

    You can get something like we offer where you basically get a reseller account and can create your own cPanel accounts in WHM.

    Of course if you can afford to have a dedicated server and hire an admin it's nice to not share a server with anyone but if the host isn't loading the server that shouldn't be a problem.

    It's personal preference really.
