Why a dedicated server?
If your internet technologies require a more robust hosting environment, you may want to consider leasing a dedicated server.

Do you have powerful internet applications, such as e-commerce solutions, that require increased server resources and bandwidth?
Would you like the benefits of having your own server, without the hassles of hardware ownership?
Does your website use a large amount of bandwidth and hard disk space due to streaming media?
Would you like to set up a tape rotation schedule to back up your website/database files frequently?

If you answered yes to any of these questions, a dedicated server solution may be right for you.
