When shopping for a dedicated server for your web hosting needs, there are a few things to watch out for. First thing to consider is if you really need it. Second is if you have the technical ability, and third is the quality of the web hosting company.
First, does your website really require a dedicated server? Generally, these types of hosting accounts are only for the heaviest requirements, such as a large visitor base and large video and audio files. If you won't have a very large online community, you might want to consider sticking with a shared or virtual private host.
You should also take into account the fact that you will have root access to the server in a dedicated hosting account, which means, depending on the host, you may have to install Apache, SQL, PHP, etc yourself from scratch. Do you have the technical ability to do this? Shared hosting provides a simple control panel that can be used to administer the account, but going dedicated you may find yourself on your own.
Third, make sure the web hosting company you are considering is reliable. Make sure they provide round-the-clock technical support. Try out the tech support line first before you sign up. Will they work to fix a down website until it's back up? Are they legit, or just a reseller? Do a good website search for genuine reviews of these hosting companies first.
Following the above steps will help you narrow down your choices on dedicated web hosting providers.
