With most hosting companies, you will have an opportunity to customize your server or you can purchase one that&nbsp;meets your specific needs.

Tailored servers are available to meet customers at a certain price point, for a specific use case. A server hosting a static website is going to have different specifications than a server handling and storing patient health information. Therefore, understanding what your server is primarily used for is critical&nbsp;<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">in getting the<\/span>&nbsp;server you need for the lowest price.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Can_I_use_my_server_for_multiple_purposes\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">2. Can I use my server for multiple purposes?<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>If this is the first dedicated server you are purchasing, you might be using it for multiple functions. Sometimes, this is okay. For example, installing WordPress on a single dedicated server means the server is acting as three different servers. A web-server, application server, and database server. However, some combinations will result in poor performance, open you to security risks, or are not cost-effective. For example, you don\u2019t want to have a server serving your primary website also serve a lot of videos. Video streaming requires resources, and you don\u2019t want your entire website slowing down because the server is also streaming&nbsp;video. In this kind of scenario, it is better to have a separate dedicated server for video-streaming.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Do_I_have_legal_obligations\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">3. Do I have legal obligations?<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span class=\"mceItemHidden\">If you are handling user data, especially medical and financial data, there might be legal requirements&nbsp;<span class=\"hiddenSuggestion\">concerning<\/span>&nbsp;the design and set up of your dedicated servers.<\/span><span class=\"mceItemHidden\">&nbsp;For example, while it might be okay performance-wise to have the database and application server on the same machine if the database is storing user medical data, you might be legally required to have the database on a separate machine.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_What_is_your_peak_server_load\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">4. What is your peak server load?<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span class=\"mceItemHidden\">A dedicated server has a fixed server load. That can be a downside.&nbsp;You cannot <span class=\"adverb\">easily<\/span> add <span class=\"complexword\">additional<\/span> capacity if the load on a server increases. Therefore, it is important to size your dedicated server-based on peak server load. In the event server load exceeds this limit, have a contingency plan in place. For example, have a load balance ready to redirect traffic to a temporary server to meet the temporary surge in load.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><em><span class=\"mceItemHidden\">Maple-Hosting&nbsp;is a privately owned hosting company that has been offering&nbsp;<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.maple-hosting.com\/netherlands-vps-hosting\"><span class=\"mceItemHidden\">Netherlands&nbsp;<span class=\"hiddenSpellError\">VPS<\/span>&nbsp;Hosting<\/span><\/a>&nbsp;&amp;&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.maple-hosting.com\/netherlands-dedicated-servers\">Netherlands Dedicated Servers<\/a>&nbsp;to partners around the world since June 2008.
