Dedicated Server Hosting at Godaddy.Com

Why use a Dedicated Server?

Unlike many normal hosting plans, which place many web site owners together on one server, the purchase of a package which offers a dedicated server will allow its user exclusive access to all the bandwidth, memory and storage space available on that server. Another benefit for the dedicated server consumer is that their site remains unaffected by traffic to other web sites or additional site owner usage patterns.

With a dedicated server hosting plan from GoDaddy.com, you will have root access to your own server box, kept at the host company's data center, in addition to a dedicated IP address and sole control over your server's usage and software installation. This option is perfect for those web sites with a very high traffic level. Details regarding GoDaddy.com's dedicated server packages can be found at http://www.godaddy.com/gdshop/hosting/build.asp? isc=gooh2005aa&display=dedicated.

What Dedicated Server Features are Available at GoDaddy.com?

The amount of disk space offered for dedicated servers at GoDaddy.com is 120 Gigabytes, but via customization or upgrade, web site owners can choose to utilize either one or two disk drives of this size. 500 Gigabytes of bandwidth is the amount offered with most server packages, but for additional fees or by upgrading your package, you can increase your bandwidth amount up to a maximum of 2000 Gigabytes.

Your dedicated server at GoDaddy.com will employ the use of a Celeron 2.0 GHz processor, unless you choose to customize or upgrade this feature, instead using the Pentium 4 3.0 GHz processor. Two of the most popular packages provide you with 1 Gigabyte of SDRAM, but this is also upgradable, to a maximum of 2 Gigabytes.
