What Kind Of Server Should Your Blog Be On?
When it comes to blogging, you can’t be too safe. The type of server you put your blog on can go a long way to your success. It helps to know what can kind of servers are available. Generally, you’ll run into one of the following types of servers, but which one is right for you?
I won’t get into the different types of broad category servers such as chat, application, and server platforms. This post is concerned with the types of servers you’ll find through web hosting companies. The kinds of servers you’ll use for storing your blog information.
I’m not an IT guy so if I get the technical defnitions wrong, please forgive me. But in general you’ll find shared hosting, dedicated servers, cloud computing, and colocation services, aka root servers.
Shared hosting is the most popular type of server environment. It’s usually cheap and that’s why many companies opt for this type of server, but it does have its risks. There are security risks as well as SEO risks associated with hosting on a shared server. If another occupant of the web server fails to update their blog or CMS software, it could pose a security risk to you. A hacker could gain access to that server through another company’s out of date software and your blog could spend a few days out of commission as your host scrambles to fix the problem. That’s why a dedicated server is usually your better option.
A dedicated server is just as its name implies. You have the server all to yourself. It is more expensive, but you know who your neighbors are. You don’t have any. You and you alone are hosted on that server. This is ideal because you can control what happens on that server by not engaging in risky behavior that could pose a security or SEO risk.
Cloud computing, like shared hosting, poses security risks. It essentially uses the Internet to disperse your information across multiple servers and possibly even providers. However, generally your blog will be hosted on one server while other web properties may be hosted on another server. This could have SEO benefits if your blog is on one server and the website it hosts is on another. But you’d still want both your blog and your website to exist on dedicated servers. Most cloud computing systems use a shared hosting format for all its servers.
Root servers, also called colocation services, provide managed server space for your servers. This can exist in a shared or dedicated format, but the idea is that another company manages your server at a location they provide. Another version of colocation is for a company to rent server space from the company that owns it.
When it comes to hosting your company blog you want to minimize your risks. That means ensuring that you don’t end up in a bad neighborhood or associated with companies and individuals that engage in risky behavior. To learn more about SEO hosting for blogs, visit SEOHostingProvider.com.
Blog Hosting: How SEO Hosting Provider Beats All Others Hands Down
Too many people think that hosting is simple and easy. They believe that any old host will do, but I’ll tell you from experience that this isn’t true. There are popular hosts that I would never recommend for a company blog.
When it comes to choosing a host for your blog, you need to think about a long-term commitment. You don’t want to have to pull out and find a new host because of lousy service or technical issues. It’s worth it to pay a little extra for a host that can meet your blog’s needs. Specifically, you want a web host that can address the following issues:
- Speed – If you have a slow loading blog or website you will lose sales. You want a host that can increase the your load time speed and that means picking a host that doesn’t put your blog on a server that is bogged down by spammers and huge files.
- Functionality – For a blog, you need to stay away from Windows Servers. We recommend Linux or Apache. You also want a host that can support Fantastico, cpanel, php, and MySQL. Functionality is very important for a blog and modern blogging platforms – the best ones – are php and MySQL based. You want the best functionality available for the best performance.
- Tech Support – Cheap web posts provide cheap and lousy tech support. Remember, as in all things, you get what you pay for. When you have a problem, you want someone who can speak your language and takes your problem seriously.
- Customer Service – Finally, customer service. I separate this from technical support because sometimes you just need good, solid advice.
