What happens if you just recently paid to renew this service?

If you have recently just ordered or renewed your hosting solution, then we’ll keep the date for your invoice the same, you just need to pay the difference of the two plans.

This basically means that if you upgrade to a more expensive plan, but you paid for 12 months, we’ll honour the due date for you, but for those remaining months, you’ll just need to pay an invoice to cover the cost between those two plans for those remaining months.

Key Reasons for Upgrading your Hosting to a Dedicated Hosting Plan

Not sure if you need to upgrade to a dedicated hosting plan? Chances are if you’re considering it, it’s because you have a legitimate need.

Shared servers and VPS are excellent choices for many small business owners–but once you grow beyond a certain point, a dedicated hosting plan might make more sense. Between increased control and serious storage capacity, there are several reasons it might be the right option for you.

If you think it might be time for an upgrade, here are five reasons to take the leap:

Increased Control

When you have full control over your own server, the sky’s the limit on what you can do with your website.

You can customize the setup by modifying hardware, adding or removing software, running firewalls and antivirus software, or enabling/disabling functionalities. Need to reboot? Go ahead and do it–no one else is going to be affected.

While most VPS do offer some level of customization and control, it is nowhere near what you get with a dedicated hosting plan.

Improved Accessibility

When you’re on a shared server, it’s likely that you will experience instances of downtime.

The problem with shared servers is that many different websites are using the same resources. If one of those websites offers a huge promotion that quadruples their usual levels of traffic, that traffic could then overwhelm the system and cause it to crash. Some hosting providers do have systems and processes in place to control resource usage on shared servers, to help prevent this from happening.

With a dedicated hosting plan, you don’t run into those types of surprises. You’re the only one utilizing those resources.

More Memory

If your business has exceptionally high levels of traffic or requires more storage than normal, it may be time to upgrade to a dedicated hosting plan.

When you don’t have to share a server’s storage, you can host videos and downloadable content or utilize large applications without worrying that you’ll cause any issues to your system.
