Your shared hosting account or your VPS may have probably served you well for quite some time, but there comes a time when it might be a good idea to upgrade your website(s) to a dedicated hosting plan. There are definitely financial factors that determine when you can and will get a dedicated server, but today we will look at some of the technical reasons for taking the next step.

• Necessary resources – Your websites might be taxing the server more than they should. It may be so severe that your web host may insist you move them to your own server in order to avoid future problems. When your websites need dedicated CPU power and RAM, a dedicated server makes sense. Often people consider VPS as an intermediate and economical option. It is true a VPS will give you better performance as compared to a shared server, however if your website continues to require more resources in terms of CPU and RAM, then a Dedicated server is definitely recommended over a VPS. After all we need to understand that it’s a Virtual Dedicated server, where its CPU and RAM are shared amongst your neighboring VPS servers. On the other hand, a Dedicated Server will give you 100% access to CPU and RAM which you can utilize entirely for your own websites. It will be your dedicated box there in the data center hosting your websites.
• Unique software – In some cases, you need to install unique software that a shared hosting account may not have. You can use a VPS or dedicated server to accomplish this task. Again, if the application is resource hogging, then a VPS might not be sufficient for your custom software hardware requirements.
• Complete control – If you need very specific configuration options enabled or simply have a strong desire to be in control of your server technology, a shared hosting account is not enough. A dedicated server gives you freedom, control, maximum resources, and the ability to install and manage the software you need. If you meet the financial requirements and also have one or more of these reasons to upgrade, a dedicated server may be in your future.
