San Marcos Website Hosting
Fully-Managed Web Hosting in San Marcos
Web hosting is one of the most important, yet often overlooked, aspects of a successful website. Web servers provide a myriad of services including running databases, email, performing DNS resolution and much more. Without a web server specifically configured to run the files that make up a website, users have no way of accessing and interacting with it.
A properly secured web server is less likely to be hacked, suffer from performance issues, or experience extended downtime. All of these issues will affect the websites on the server and can lead to lower search engine rankings, lost revenue, and even legal issues (in the case of compromised e-commerce websites).
Our San Marcos Managed website hosting clients can rest easy knowing that our dedicated servers are fully under our control; the only websites we host are those that we personally maintain. All security and software updates, including WordPress website updates, are closely monitored by our team of San Marcos website hosting experts; ensuring our clients’ websites run effectively with as little downtime as possible.
There are several potential issues to consider when choosing shared web hosting in San Marcos Dedicated servers are better than shared servers for security, performance, and updates.
| Dedicated Server | Shared Server | |
|---|---|---|
| Security | Dedicated: Only hosting accounts specifically managed by Ten9 IT Services are allowed on the server. Our rigorous update schedule and security practices means the likelihood of a compromised server is much lower compared to shared hosting. |
Shared: Your website will likely reside on a shared server with hundreds of random websites that you have absolutely no control over. One insecure website on your shared server can affect your website in negative ways, including poor performance or hacking, which can negatively affect your search engine optimization. |
| Performance | Dedicated: Our servers have more than enough resources for all of our clients’ websites. We continuously monitor resource use to ensure performance is within acceptable ranges. |
Shared: Shared servers have a limited set of resources; the more websites that are hosted on a server, the fewer dedicated resources each website has. As more and more websites are crammed on a shared server, it is likely your website will load slower, which can also affect SEO by causing lower rankings. |
| Updates | Dedicated: Because we control every website on our servers we’re able to deploy software updates in a timely manner and ensure all of our clients’ websites will continue to work once they’re installed. |
Shared: Shared web servers are sometimes slow to be updated, which can lead to potential security issues. With many websites on a single server, hosting companies provide an extended period for websites to become compatible with a new version of software before updating the server. |
