Dedicated Hosting

Well, I'm up to three blogs now (Tanyas's World of Business Finance and Technology [this one], Tanya's Weight Loss Journey, and Science Matters). I wonder if that is enough to move myself over to a dedicated server and off of the free blogspot service. Not that I am knocking blogspot's freeness, but it is unreliable at times. I know I am making more than enough from Pay Per Post to cover expenses, but I don't know if the money is better spent somewhere else. Managed Servers Charlotte is a sub site of hostedsolutions.com, a leader in website hosting.

My mom (my biggest blogger fan) says she loves to check out my blogs early in the morning with her cup of coffee. But, she also says that they are often unreachable at this time. I don't know why, but Blogspot must do like server maintenance then, because that time is worse than any other time.

With Managed Servers Charlotte, they offer a data center with a dedicated hosting managed environment. Plus, 24/7 monitoring. That's 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. I think that means if something goes wrong with my site, they're monitoring that and will catch the error immediately. Now things go wrong a lot in this business, but if you catch the error immediately, even if you can't fix it immediately, at least it's being fixed As Soon As Possible.

This seems like the very first thing I would be looking for if I went to use a dedicated host. More than anything else, it's what annoys me about the free server and would be first on my check list to rectify. But I guess it's not that common of a service...simply because it's not that easy to offer. It's hard to offer to watch over every single thing at every single moment of the day, but that's just what Managed Servers Charlotte does.

Thank you for reading, this has been a sponsored post.
