Tips on Selecting a Dedicated Server Provider from Colocation America

We understand that every business has unique needs in regards to what they needs the most out of a dedicated server. However there are a few key things that everyone should look for when it comes time to select a host.

Data Transfer Rates
Transfer rates are typically determined by two factors. The first being the type of content you are sharing. Is your site predominantly photos and/or videos? That will definitely amount to a higher transfer rate than a text heavy site. The second factor is the amount of content downloaded. Packages can be customized to best harmonize with your transfer level, which is measured in ‘gigabytes per month’.

Data Backup
A tedious, time-consuming task for any business owner, having your host assist you with this can not only save you a technical headache but time that can be spent developing your core business.

Monitoring
One of the biggest benefits of having a dedicated server is that someone is always monitoring your site. It is imperative that a hosting provider offer monitoring. Having this service drastically decreased your chance of being troubled with downtime issues, simply because they will be taken care of promptly.

Service Level Agreement
This is the document that specifies what your provider is responsible for and what is included in your package. You should read this carefully, making sure that anything that was promised is included. This is especially important if your fee is contingent on certain terms, which it most likely will be. The more specific the agreement, the better.

Why would we share these tips with you? Because we pride ourselves on delivering the best service in each and every one of these areas!
