Things to consider when choosing a Dedicated Server in Cyprus

If you’ve decided to make the move to a dedicated server, you’re going to want to be certain that you’re making the right choice. Being amongst the most popular locations for hosting services, there are many advantages to choosing a dedicated server in Cyprus. Here are some things that you need to consider.

What is a dedicated server

A dedicated server is a form of hosting where the client has a physical server exclusively dedicated to them and is typically used to host high traffic websites and applications. Dedicated servers are the most powerful infrastructure hosting choice – offering the client complete control and flexibility.

If your business heavily relies on its online presence, dedicated server hosting will guarantee high performance, speeds and reliability – ultimately improving the user experience.

As you weigh up your hosting options, you may be torn between a dedicated server and a VPS. A virtual server (VPS) is hosted on a physical server with others, but with hypervisor technology which completely isolates it. In some respects, a VPS somewhat simulates a dedicated server in terms of features and functionalities – at a cheaper cost.

Benefits of Dedicated Server vs. Virtual Server (VPS)

So you may still be deciding between a dedicated server and a virtual server – after all they’re both great hosting options with plenty of benefits.

Here are our top 3 comparison points:

1. Server Control

One of the main benefits of a dedicated server is the level of control and flexibility that it provides. If you have specific requirements, opting for a dedicated server is definitely a good call as it allows you to customize the server to meet your needs – like installing your own operating system or server software. Although VPS hosting also offers a high level of control, it’s not to the extent of a dedicated server.

At NetShop ISP we offer full root access with our Cyprus dedicated servers, giving our clients the ability to fully control the server and maintain it as per their preferences.

2. Security

Control and security come hand in hand. Choosing a dedicated server allows you to have complete control over your site’s security. Although VPS hosting is also extremely secure, for businesses with a great need for amplified security, a dedicated server definitely beats a VPS!

3. Cost

In terms of pricing, a VPS is definitely more attractive, given that ultimately you would still be sharing physical resources. Understandably, dedicated hosting comes at a higher cost because – as we’ve covered – you’re getting more resources for your money.

Overall, with both a VPS and dedicated server having lots of advantages, it’s important to base your choice of server on your business requirements and budget.

Benefits of Cyprus as a hosting location

Now that we’ve covered types of hosting, let’s take a closer look at what makes Cyprus such a great hosting location and what things you need to consider.

Low risk of natural disasters

Choosing a hosting location that has a low risk of natural disasters is essential in order to ensure the safety of your server. With few natural disasters occurring in Cyprus, it is considered extremely safe from power and internet connectivity disruptions.

Ideal geographic location

The location of your dedicated server can have a substantial impact on your business. Cyprus is ideally located at the centre of the EMEA region (Europe, the Middle East and Africa), making it a great destination for your dedicated server and also for offshore business endeavors.

Cyprus is a financial centre

As we just mentioned, Cyprus is extremely popular for investors and offshore companies who wish to incorporate within the EU. Cyprus’ attractive taxation system, one of the lowest in the EU, and access to the European Union’s numerous economic and trade treaties, has made it a global business destination.

Customer Support

Last but not least, regardless of your choice of hosting location, customer support is one of the main things you need to take into consideration. Always opt for a hosting provider that will offer 24/7 support through a variety of communication channels to ensure that any issues you experience are resolved quickly and smoothly.
