Disadvantages of Dedicated Servers

October 31, 2011, 1:00 am

If you’ve decided on investing in a dedicated server, or even just considering one, your next step is to seriously asses the advantages and disadvantages of the server. Although the pro’s will more than likely outweigh the con’s when it comes to dedicated server, its always sensible to closely look at what negative implications they can have. Some of them are as follows:

Cost

The big thing to weigh up with a dedicated server is the cost. unlike a shared server package, you will be paying for the entire server and there’s every chance that you won’t maximise its capabilities. For personal use or start ups this issue needs to be addressed early on as you could be throwing money away on a half used server.

Requires you to be a bit tech savvy

If you’re not the most tech savvy of users then before you sign up for a dedi server, check the level of tech support you’ll receive. Quite a few providers will assume that your choice of a dedi server means you know what you’re doing which is not always the case. if you have a dedicated server you’re expected to maintain certain elements of it yourself, including any problems that may occur.

Lack of additional features

Dedicated servers come with a lot less additional features than a shared server would. many hosts use additional features as a benefit for shared server users, however, if you opt for a more independent dedicated server you’re expected to have your own applications. this again can come back to how tech savvy you are, so again, just check what features you’ll be getting with your server.

Scalability con’s

If you are renting a dedicated server then you are subject to the capacity restrictions it comes it. unlike cloud hosting options, there is no element of scalability with the servers, you cannot simply increase you capacity, you can only purchase more hardware or another server – both of which can take a while to get arranged. if you exceed your capacity limit you face potentially crashing your server or even occurring financial penalties from your provider.

Ownership

Remember that with a dedicated server, you do not own the server, which means that the provider effectively owns the information you place on it. Ownership can be an issue sometimes so it’s important to check a provider’s ownership policy because you sign on the dotted line.

Communications Software Firm 4PSA Launches Plesk Panel Add-Ons

October 30, 2011, 1:00 am

(WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) — Cloud communications technology developer 4PSA (www.4psa.com) announced this week that it has launched new versions of its products for hosting providers, redesigned and tailored for the Parallels Plesk Panel 10 platform.

According to the announcement, the products, including its Clean Server, Spam Guardian, Total Backup, Central Login and 4PSA OXtender offer a range of new functions and are integrated seamlessly into the Parallels Plesk Panel 10 business flow.

4PSA is a Parallels Technology Partner. in addition to tailoring its own software for the Parallels platform, the comapny offers Parallels software licenses for sale through its own storefront.

Parallels launched Plesk Panel 10 in November of 2010 (watch product marketing manager Jon McCarrick talks to WHIR TV about the launch here), and hosting providers have been rolling out the product over the course of the year. The control panel has since reached version 10.3.

At the same time, software firms have been re-engineering certain tools to work with the platform, validating Parallels efforts to make its tools a standard for bundling and distributing hosted services and tools.

The company says its Clean Server antivirus and and Spam Guardian anti-spam tools are now registered as “additional Plesk services,” making them easier to manage and integrating them with the Plesk Billing provisioning tool.

Both tools now offer new reporting areas that make cloud provisioning easier, says the company, and enable service providers to bill for the products based on usage.

“Back in 2003, 4PSA introduced email antivirus and anti-spam capabilities to Parallels Plesk Panel,” said Elena Carstoiu, 4PSA’s VP of sales and marketing, quoted in the press release. “in 2011, scanning and filtering are still crucial to any hosting service and 4PSA add-ons are preferred due to their accuracy and scalability. both Clean Server and Spam Guardian support distributed workloads without affecting other hosting services,” said Elena Carstoiu, 4PSA’s VP of Sales and Marketing.

According to 4PSA, the company’s add-ons for Plesk can be purchased from the 4PSA online store starting at $99.
