Shared vs. Dedicated and Colocated Web Hosting
For most companies shared hosting is the way to go. The
only time you should consider the extra expense of dedicated
or colocated web hosting is if you need full control over the
server or your site is busy enough that it requires the extra
power
of a dedicated server.
Shared Hosting
Space and resources are allocated to your site on a server that
houses several other websites. The overall server, security
and resources are managed by Atlantic BT.
Dedicated Hosting
You select the hardware and operating system your server will
run on. Your hosting company will provide you with remote access
to your server for administration. Generally you should have
experience with managing Linux or Windows servers before you
choose a dedicated hosting option.
Managed Dedicated Hosting
Managed dedicated hosting combines the best of both worlds from
shared and dedicated hosting. With a managed dedicated server
you get a server dedicated to just the website(s) you choose
to put on it. You get increased performance for your demanding
website without needing any technical skills.
Colocated Hosting
Colocated hosting is like dedicated hosting except you
provide your own hardware and software. Atlantic BT provides
a network rack location where your server is connected to the
same high-speed network as our equipment.
E-Mail Hosting
Business grade e-mail is a critical component of modern
business. Atlantic BT offers business-grade e-mail and Level2
E-mail (including sophisticated SPAM and virus control) at affordable
prices for any business.
