If you have a large SMF forum with many active members a dedicated server is a good choice to make for hosting.
There are many advantages associated with hosting your SMF forum on a dedicated server.
- Full use of all system resources - disk space, bandwidth, memory and CPU. Unlike shared hosting where all resources are shared with other accounts on the same server.
- Full control of server configuration. Some add-on packages may require specific settings that are not available on shared hosting.
- Added security. Yours is the only account hosted on the server plus you have full control of software firewall settings.
- Optional services like remote reboot and Cisco Pix firewall are available.
- All our dedicated servers are hosted in our state of the art Australian Data Center and
are equipped with high quality Intel and AMD processors on Tyan or SuperMicros 1RU servers. - Network redundancy has been implemented with 4 different bandwidth providers as network backups, namely Telstra, Optus, Verizon and Pipe.
