Are you being served?

Most of us use shared servers for our websites, at least at first. Whether you’re on WordPress, SquareSpace, Weebly, or another host, you’re probably sharing server space with a few hundred “roommates.” So when is it time to leave the apartment and buy your own house?

Like so many things in business, it depends.

It’s Q&A Wednesday, and we’re helping one listener decide if it’s time for their very own server. We’ll explain why businesses do this, but more importantly, we’ll discuss when. Depending on certain milestones, it might not be worth it…yet.

Plus, we’ll discuss the one downside of using a private server.

Learn what you get out of having a private server, and how to tell when it’s time to get yours. Get a sense of what it costs, and why it’s actually a money saver after a certain point. Decide what’s best for one of your business’s most important digital assets. Click Play!
