Typically, small e-businesses begin in a shared hosting environment whereWeb sites share the resources of a single server with many other sites,thereby making it very affordable. As an e-business grows, so do itshosting requirements. The next logical step for small e-businesses thatoutgrow this shared environment is to host their sites on a dedicatedserver. Hostway's Advantage line of dedicated servers is unique in that thesystem administration of the server is included in the monthly pricing.
"In the past, only large companies could afford a truly managed service atthe dedicated server level," says John Lee, director of marketing, Hostway."As a result, small businesses defaulted to either purchasing unmanageddedicated servers or choosing co-location for their hosting needs, both ofwhich require the additional investment of systems administration support.Hostway combined our customers' need for a powerful and flexible dedicatedserver and its inherent need of full system administration and customersupport, and packaged it at a cost that is affordable to businesses of allsizes."
