Dedicated Hosting Services from PlanetMagpie

Most website hosting across the world is done on shared servers – dozens, perhaps hundreds of websites running off a single server. Some hosting companies claim to offer "dedicated" hosting, even though what they really mean is "dedicated virtual" hosting. Meaning, you're just one virtual slice among many others on physical servers.

Here's a way to jump ahead of the competition right from the gate: dedicate a server to your website alone.

A dedicated server has more RAM, disk space and processing speed available. Your website's automatically faster at serving up pages, and it can handle much more traffic than a virtual hosting website.

Plus, with PlanetMagpie's Dedicated Hosting service, dedicating one of our servers is more affordable than buying a brand new one.

You might think, "That's just one more expense. I don't need that." But first, consider the advantages a dedicated hosting server offers:

• You're the Last Word: You get the same control over a Dedicated Host as you would over your own local servers. Scale your site up to meet demand or branch out. Install new services to test how users will like them.
• Extra Backup Protection: Dedicated servers are included in our daily backup routines. If you back them up as well, you'll have double-layer emergency preparedness.
• Managed Hosting: Regular monitoring and maintenance keeps servers at their best performance. It takes time to make security updates, check for hackers, and keep an eye on uptime. Let PlanetMagpie take care of everything with our Managed Hosting service.
• Extra Security Layer: Dedicated servers are maintained separately from share-based servers. That's a whole extra layer of protection from hackers, viruses and DoS attacks.

We're sure you'd agree that dedicating a server as your website host presents a significant boost to its performance and stability. Too often companies focus on the endgame in marketing – SEO, advertising – without realizing there's a way to beat competition to the customer's computer right at the start.

Racing to the top of the industry starts at your web host. Call PlanetMagpie for dedicating a server to the race.
