What You Need in Dedicated Server Hosting Pt. 2
Okay … I tried to cover the essentials of dedicated hosting in one article but after getting half way through, I came to realize that just wasn’t possible. In this article I will give you a few more factors to take into consideration.
Platform
In the world of web hosting, a platform simply refers to the underlying operating system. While this isn’t all that important in a shared hosting arrangement, it is very crucial for a dedicated server. So what platforms are available? More than likely, you will encounter web hosting providers offering Windows or Linux. Some also offer Mac OS X and Unix variants such as Free BSD, Open BSD and a slew of other systems. Technical gurus may tell you that Linux and Unix are the best choice for the server environment but that isn’t always the case. True, Microsoft Windows has a history of security issues but the system has come along way, especially with the recent edition of Windows Server 2008. While all systems have their vulnerabilities, each can be enhanced to a provide a tighter level of security. The key is finding an operating system you feel comfortable with. If you are familiar with the features and user-friendliness of Windows, the complexity of Linux may throw you for a loop.
Installations
While some web hosting companies will offer dedicated server packages with technologies already installed, several more will not. This means that it may up to you and your IT staff to install web services such as Apache, Microsoft IIS, PHP, ASP, MySQL, MS SQL Server and so forth. If this is the case, you will also be required to install your own system patches and security software. This is something that certainly needs to be accounted for, especially if you don’t have the knowledge to make these complex installations. In this case, you will either need a knowledgeable IT staff on hand or a dedicated host that offers solutions with the most essential technologies pre-installed.
Technical Support
In its purest form, dedicated hosting is a situation where you’re pretty much on your own. All the web host does is house the equipment, provide the connectivity and make sure you stay up and running. With that said, you still need a package that comes included with 24/7 technical support and customer service. You shouldn’t have to purchase a fully managed service or pay ridiculous fees just to get someone on the phone. Unfortunately, there are a few companies that will try to charge you for delivering help that shouldn’t cost a penny. Server administration is one thing, paying extra money to get simple questions answered – now that’s just crazy.
More Considerations
Why do I feel like I’m leaving stuff out? Because there is so much that goes into dedicated server hosting. Aside from what I’ve covered in these two articles, you must also consider internet connectivity, data backups, control panel software and much more. Moving up to a dedicated server is a big step and calls for careful consideration. Indeed, I’ve been stuck with two crappy shared web hosting services – it would’ve been much worse if I got stuck with two crappy dedicated servers.

Dedicated servers are ones that are run on a computer, but the person running them can't be on that game. You can make a lan and a regular server and play on them but dedicated servers you can't make and join, but dedicated servers are much more stable and a bit faster
Usually its a misunderstanding about the address of the server machine. You probably are not on a dedicated IP. That means that there is an IP address for your machine that only works on the lan (others on your home network) and another IP which is the lans address to the internet.
Try going to this site.
http://whatismyip.com/
Right at the top of the page it will tell you the IP that is sees you coming from. That is the address that the people on the internet have to use to reach you.

You will be given root access to the server and you can upload your applications to your server. A dedicated server account usually allows you more bandwidth and CPU usage than a shared hosting account. You will not have the same restriction like when you are on shared server.
If you need a recommendation for a dedicated hosting that does not suck, try http://hostingsthatsuck.com/serverpronto-sucks/
A dedicated server patch is a patch for dedicated server. While a client patch will fix known issues on the player's computer a server patch will fix any issues or add new features on the back end of the game.

If you want to use shared web hosting services for your website, take a look at: http://www.threehosts.com/business
There you can reach the three reputable companies that are leaders in the E-commerce web hosting industry. They fulfill all your requirements to sell online. By using each of them, everything you need for your business website is provided in one eCommerce Hosting Package.
If you intend to use a dedicated service, go to: http://www.goldpuma.com . Their dedicated web hosting plans provide all features needed for a successful online business. They have a really great offer & I have used them for over 3 yrs now, and have never had a single problem with them. Their service is really great and easy to use.
Game servers come in two types:
1. Listen Server – This is when you play the game *and* you're the server at the same time, a listen server is basically when the program runs both the server and one client simultaneously.
2. Dedicated Server – All the program is doing is running the game, you can't actually play on a dedicated server unless you launch the program again and connect to it like everyone else would have to.
In Never WInter Nights, you'd only want a dedicated server if you wanted people to be able to play on your server when you're not there. You'd have to run the server yourself, so you'd be responsible for making sure it was running the right maps, the right mods etc…
The switch to a dedicated server will certainly be determined by the resources consumed by your Drupal portal versus what the server can handle and not by the hits/visits. Although the two are correlated to an extent on most configurations I have worked on (more visits results in more consumed resources).
Server resources are CPU, memory, hard drive space, and bandwidth (traffic). The 200kb you mentioned relates more to bandwidth. The ones that shared providers penalize the most on are CPU and memory usage. A Drupal portal will consume a considerable amount of those two especially if you use a lot of the Drupal plugins/features.
For example, if your web hosting account consumes most resources for extended periods of time by using up a large amount of memory or peg the CPU, the provider (Hostgator in this case) will most likely suspend your account.
How do you keep track of resources that your account consumed? This is unfortunately not possible with a shared account. Shared accounts don't provide the tools necessary for you to "gauge" for resources usage. Good providers will warn you before suspending your account but don't count on that. Be on top of it. Keep historical data of visits per day and per month, etc. If you notice drastic increases in visits (20% month over month), start planning for an upgrade.
By the way, my name is Joe and I help run a fully managed dedicated server company that goes by the name UNIXy. I'll be glad to answer any question you have. Let me know if you need a hand as well. My email is joe@unixy.net.

I agree with David except he left out one thing, which is speed. If your server resides in your building, you're going to be able to access it at the speed of your local network, often 100Mb or even 1Gb/s. If the server is hosted remotely, you access the files over the internet. a typical broadband internet connection is perhaps 1-5Mb/s. So in the best case scenario access to the hosted server is going to be 1/20th as fast as access to the local server.
If you're only storing and retrieving very small files and you need to do it from many remote locations, hosted is a good option. If you're mostly working from one location and use the server any more than a little bit, a local server is your best bet.
Hope this helps, and feel free to check out http://www.inovagent.com/file_servers for more information on local file servers.

Hi,
When you purchase a dedicated server, you essentially rent it from a server provider online. You never get to see the server physically because it's located in a remote data center facility. The data center facility is usually a large concrete enforced building with security officers, diesel generators, electrical equipment, and an elevated floor where the customer equipment sits.
Once you sign up for the dedicated server, you will be given a login name and password to login into the server and install the software that you need.
By the way, my name is Joe and I help run a dedicated server business (see the source box if you're interested). I hope my answer is helpful.
