For most of us, a shared web hosting solution may be the most suitable option at the start of our online venture. Why? Simply because it’s an inexpensive alternative to a VPS or dedicated hosting solution.
However, there may be exceptions to this rule, such as when a project is anticipated to experience exponential growth and a dedicated hosting service is chosen right at the start. Even if you do choose a shared hosting service initially, you may realize at one point or another that the demanding requirements of your web site can no longer be satisfied by shared hosting. And if your project now has a steady revenue stream, the cost of migrating to a dedicated hosting platform may appear less intimidating than it did at first.
I've conducted research on ten major companies offering entry-level dedicated hosting plans. These include 1&1, HostDime, HostGator, Hostway, InMotion, LiquidWeb, LunarPages, NetHosting, ResellersPanel, and ServePath. An in-depth comparison of these companies has been carried out in terms of all the most important criteria for dedicated hosting, including processor speeds, hard drive capabilities, RAID options, RAM, monthly bandwidth, IP addresses, and a number of other factors. Along with this, I've also taken into account the possibility of extending a plan without upgrading, which makes it more flexible since it lets you avoid the need to migrate to a higher level plan.
All the reviewed plans include full root access and a hardware replacement guarantee, along with an uptime guarantee of 99% or more. Furthermore, SSH access is common to all the plans and the uplink speed for the majority is 100Mbps, with the exceptions of ResellersPanel, InMotion, and HostDime.
The major obstacle in comparing all these companies on an equal footing was that in almost all cases, one or more features weren't specified on the plan description page. Consequently, I contacted these companies by whatever contact method was available, in order to find out about the missing features. I held live chat sessions with most of them, and for those that didn’t offer live chat, I used email or telephone.
Finally, after many days of researching, I was able to gather all the data, which I've presented in a comprehensive dedicated hosting comparison table. The unspecified features about which I had to enquire at the hosting companies are italicized in the table. I’ve also done an analysis of the contents of this table, to point out the pros and cons of each dedicated hosting plan.
Now, though, let’s take a look at each of the hosting plans in detail :
