Whether your market is regional or global, statistics have shown an alarming percentage of organizations that have lost data go out of business within a year.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Scenario_One\"><\/span>Scenario One:<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Imagine a large organization headquartered downtown in a major metropolitan area (St. Louis, Chicago, NY, LA, Atlanta, Miami \u2026 ) with branches scattered throughout its suburbs. They host their own servers and run Point-to-Point T-1s from each branch back downtown, plus another Point-to-Point T-1 from their HQ to a processing service out-of-state. Internet access is provided via an ISP to their Headquarters, then distributed to each branch. Let\u2019s say they\u2019re also hosting VoIP services. Murphy\u2019s Law kicks in, (if something can go wrong, it will go wrong). It\u2019s late Spring and a thunderstorm rolls through causing widespread loss of power across the area for days, including at its Headquarters. Twelve of its\u00a0sixteen branches still have power, but lack Internet access or phone services. Would this severely impact their operation? Would leasing dedicated servers in a data center\u00a0help? Absolutely!<\/p>\n<p>Do prolonged power outages happen every year? With regularity! I used to live in the Sunshine State of Florida (Pensacola &amp; Miami) \u2013 planned on hurricane threats every year (up and down the Gulf and Eastern seaboard). The Midwest \u2013 tornadoes, thunderstorms and floods. California \u2013 mudslides, fires and earthquakes (and an occasional brown-out). Been there \u2013 done that.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Scenario_two\"><\/span>Scenario two:<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>You\u2019ve started an immensely successful classic car dealership, where you showcase muscle cars on consignment, and historically ship a third of your inventory monthly via Internet orders worldwide. You\u2019re on the fringe of a large metropolis, but the only connectivity to your dealership is a T-1 that seems to regularly choke, plus you endure an occasional power outage. Your Windows server is hosted in-house, but your website is on a dedicated server at a data center. Your website is always UP, but not your in-house connection. Someone in Australia is dying to own that \u201957 Chevy you have on sale for $73,000.00 on your website, but you suffer delays in processing the order because your in-house servers are down. It seems like you\u2019re constantly doing work-a-rounds. Does this severely impact your business? Would leasing dedicated servers housed in a data center (for all your web hosting requirements) help? Absolutely!<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Scenario_three\"><\/span>Scenario three:<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>You\u2019re a web developer \u2013 a good one. You\u2019ve been designing websites since 1969 (in anticipation of the upcoming Internet). Your client base has matured to the point where you have enough clients to justify a dedicated server hosted at a reputable data center. You\u2019ve been using a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ultimatewb.com\/blog\/877\/custom-proprietary-web-hosting-control-panels-vs-cpanel\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">proprietary control panel<\/a> with a discount host (shared IPs), but feel now is the time to step up to cPanel on a managed Linux box. Your old host has been pretty decent except for a few lapses of downtime. Recently you\u2019ve begun to read some questionable posts about your host on forums that help force the issue. One thread\u00a0complained of the OP&#8217;s\u00a0sites being hacked because they\u00a0didn\u2019t have the latest patches installed. It\u2019s the second time one of her sites has been hacked and now her\u00a0host is threatening to terminate her account (all 12 sites). For you, developing websites started out as an experiment, but over the years, it\u2019s become your sole source of income. You start wondering how safe your sites are. If even one of your sites got hacked, would it severely impact your business? Would leasing a dedicated server from a reputable provider\u00a0help? Absolutely!<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Scenario_four\"><\/span>Scenario four:<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>You manage streaming audio and video services, and need the absolute best possible bandwidth. You desperately need economy of scale in bandwidth vs cost, as you\u2019ve just launched a viral promotion that promises to triple your revenue within months. Bandwidth pricing is becoming cost prohibitive with your current provider, so\u00a0you\u2019re considering moving to a host that offers 10Gbps connections and Terabytes of bandwidth at reasonable prices. If your current provider can\u2019t economically support your anticipated bandwidth requirements, would that severely impact your promotion? Would leasing a dedicated server\u00a0help? Absolutely!<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_Lease_a_Dedicated_Server\"><\/span>Why\u00a0Lease a Dedicated Server?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><strong>Reliability<\/strong> &#8211;\u00a0Downtime can be crippling. What if you lost your (_______) for only an hour?<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><strong>Centralized Point of Sales (POS) System<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 what if you couldn\u2019t reconcile batched payments from 300 retail outlets nationwide?<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><strong>File Server<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 who needs access to accounting software, vendor or client records anyway?<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><strong>Flexibility<\/strong>\u00a0&#8211; Scale your services as you grow your business. Lots of data centers offer 100Mbps and Gigabit Ethernet (GigE) up-links, with bandwidth as low as $xx\/Mbps (it constantly goes lower and lower). Whether you have one server or hundreds of servers in-house,\u00a0leasing them with reputable provider\u00a0in a data center can support your requirements.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><strong>Security<\/strong>\u00a0&#8211; You have $$ thousands, possibly $$ millions, currently invested in data and technology infrastructure. Protect your investment from malicious attacks or theft by leasing dedicated servers\u00a0at a secure data center. Most data centers are protected 24\/7\/365 via physical security, monitored video surveillance cameras, controlled access (physical login, access card, and keyed access), plus smoke, temperature and moisture alarms. Most cross check visitors against client defined access lists. Plus, most have layered oversight of their center(s) via a 24\/7\/365 manned central command site utilizing advanced network monitoring tools.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><strong>Cost Management and $$ Savings<\/strong>\u00a0&#8211; The cost to build, secure and maintain an in-house data center can run into the thousands of dollars, often millions. The cost of power alone can amount to $$ tens of thousands of savings between LA, Chicago, NY and Saint Louis. Layer on scaled bandwidth expense, multiple backup diesel fuel generators, 24\/7\/365 monitoring and it rapidly escalates beyond an expense most businesses desire to undertake. Plus, in-house skilled network engineers command sizable compensation and benefits. Volumes have been written about the expense of replacing qualified IT staff, should they move on to higher paying jobs or just leave without explanation.<\/p>\n<p>If you lease dedicated servers housed at a data center, you\u2019ll benefit from your providers\u00a0investment in technology and staff, so you can concentrate on what you do best \u2013 run your business.<\/p>\n<h4><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-51\" src=\"https:\/\/www.prolimehost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2014\/08\/unnamed-e1408122780935.jpg\" alt=\"ProlimeHost\" width=\"400\" height=\"80\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.prolimehost.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2014\/08\/unnamed-e1408122780935.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.prolimehost.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2014\/08\/unnamed-e1408122780935-300x60.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/h4>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"BROUGHT_TO_YOU_BY_PROLIMEHOST\"><\/span>BROUGHT TO YOU BY PROLIMEHOST<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p>We\u2019ve been in the web hosting industry for over a decade, helping hundreds of clients succeed in what they do best and that\u2019s running their business.
