British web host
UKHost4u Ltd. (UKHost4u) has suggested that dedicated hosting is vital in an era of 'viral' traffic. The company, which has headquarters in Kirkcaldy, Fife, Scotland, UK, offers a range of hosting options including cloud services, dedicated servers and domain registration services. It regularly comments on key issues related to the hosting industry.
The company suggests that when people establish websites they can suddenly become more popular than originally expected, and gives examples of Distractify.com and UpWorthy.com of sites that offer interesting content and have suddenly seen massive increases in traffic. This, the company suggests, is due to items 'going viral' and 'trending'- meaning they are quickly passed from person to person via email and social networks. As a result, they appear as important topics on the Internet and as a result receive huge levels of traffic. In such instances, servers find it difficult to cope with the traffic generated. UKHost4u suggests that when this happens the benefits of dedicated servers become apparent.
Unlike other types of webhosting, the resources provided by dedicated services are not shared between a number of websites, meaning they can cope with additional demand more readily. "The rising popularity of dedicated hosting is not surprising in a world where trends online can quickly occur," explained a UKHost4u spokesperson in a company press release. "Furthermore, many savvy businesses want greater control over their online presence and a refinement of management – and dedicated hosting allows for this especially. At UKHost4U we can recommend the best course of action for you and your website. With our range of services including full management with VPS and dedicated servers, we are sure to be able to offer a system to allow for utmost efficiency for you."
