Getting involved with the Internet can be an expensive proposition, but
even if you decide for some odd reason that you want nothing to do with the
Internet and the information age, you will not escape the need to store data
electronically if you are a small business of any type – what you can avoid is
having to purchase computer equipment like servers and their backups. There are
many online services like www.hivelocity.net that can host a dedicated server
for your company.
Advantages
There are several really
good advantages to having a company host your server needs. With a dedicated
server, you get all of the security of having a server with none of the
associated storage costs. Depending on where your business is located the cost
of square footage alone can be problematic. You will need a room that can be
cooled to 55 degrees to store a server, and you will need a second room,
preferably offsite, to store the server’s backup. That way if anything happens
to the building, you still have a place where your electronic information is
safely tucked away.
The server and its
backup will have to have enough memory so that you can store several years’
worth of accumulated data. If you get too little, you will have to either buy
another server, or take the one you have offline to upgrade the memory, which
means that you will lose the time and the money that could have been generated
during that time.
