How can you find the best Australian dedicated servers? It can be tough to sort through a market worth over $60 billion (2019). If you’re living in the country/continent then you have several options like Intergrid when picking a provider of dedicated server hosting. Some key features include tech specs, customisation, and prices. Here are some other factors to weigh:
EXTRA BANDWIDTH
You might need more bandwidth based on your website(s) needs. Sometimes companies offer packages with extra packages like 1TB, 10TB, or unlimited bandwidth.
One caveat is unmetered bandwidth will probably have rock-bottom upload/download speeds. That’s OK because in most cases you’d probably use this service for functions like data backup. If you have to store tons of data then this is still an outstanding feature.
VALUE
Besides the monthly price itself for Intergrid servers, for example, you should also consider the overall value you’re getting. How’s customer support? Does the company have data centres in major cities? Are other services like virtual servers available? All of these factors and more can add value to the company besides the dedicated server hosting itself.
You should still consider the monthly rates of the company. In particular, make sure they’re reasonable in terms of industry standards. If they are then you should take a closer look at exactly what you’re getting in terms of product quality, customer service, etc.
SERVER-BUILDING
You might want to customise dedicated servers based on your online company’s needs. This is where server-building can be a big plus. This usually involves starting with the processor then adding storage space, RAM, etc. based on your specific technical needs.
Even if a company has several options in terms of stock servers it might not be exactly what you’re looking for. You might need a little more/less storage space or RAM, for example. That’s when customised servers can be a big plus.
OTHER SERVICES
Make sure to consider whether companies like Intergrid have other services like:
* VIRTUAL SERVERS
* IP TRANSIT
* COLOCATION
You might just need dedicated servers now. Later on, you might need other services. It’s always a plus when you can get everything at a one-stop-shop. This makes the process of building /upgrading your computer network much easier. It’s always best to get all your web/server/data stuff from one location.
You’ll likely use dedicated servers for your online company’s day-to-day operations. However, there are special situations like startup businesses, building renovations, and working vacations when you’ll need to store/access data while away from work/home.
