Choosing a dedicated server is not just about picking the most powerful option within budget. The right plan is the one whose specification matches what your workload actually demands, with enough headroom for growth, and without paying for capacity that will sit unused. Swify offers eight dedicated server plans on HP ProLiant DL360p Gen10 hardware, […]
Most dedicated server providers treat location as an afterthought, a dropdown menu item, not a design decision. Swify approaches it differently. Every aspect of our infrastructure, from data centre selection to network architecture to compliance documentation, is built around the specific needs of businesses operating in and serving Europe. This is not a generic hosting […]
Most infrastructure conversations focus on two options: cloud or dedicated. But there is a third model that sits between owning your own datacenter and renting managed hardware, and it is the choice of some of the most demanding businesses in the world. Colocation hosting. You own the servers. Someone else houses them. This guide explains […]
Cloud hosting became the default infrastructure choice for most businesses over the last decade. The pitch was compelling: pay only for what you use, scale instantly, and let someone else manage the hardware. For many businesses, it delivered exactly that. But in 2026, a growing number of companies are asking a question that would have […]
Choosing between a dedicated server and a VPS is one of the most common infrastructure decisions businesses face, and also one of the most misunderstood. The specs look similar on paper. The pricing gap is significant. And the consequences of choosing wrong show up at the worst possible moment: during a traffic spike, a security […]
You’ve made the decision: it’s time to move to a dedicated server. The performance gains, the security control, the guaranteed resources, the case is clear. But now comes the question most guides skip entirely: How do you choose the right provider? Not all dedicated server providers are equal. The difference between a good provider and […]
The decision to move from cloud hosting to a dedicated server is rarely sudden. It builds gradually, through monthly bills that keep climbing, performance that varies unpredictably, and the creeping realisation that the flexibility you are paying for is flexibility your workload has not needed for months. This infrastructure transition is now one of the […]
When AWS bills start climbing, the question surfaces quickly: is there a better way to run this infrastructure? AWS vs dedicated server is one of the most commercially significant infrastructure decisions a growing business makes, and the answer changes dramatically depending on how the workload actually behaves. Amazon Web Services is the world’s largest cloud […]
The monthly price on a cheap hosting plan is rarely the price you actually pay. Introductory offers expire and renew at rates two to four times higher, bandwidth limits trigger overage charges when exceeded, and features that seem standard turn out to be paid add-ons. Support that appears included often has a scope so narrow […]
Finding an affordable web hosting provider is a sensible starting point for any business. Keeping infrastructure costs low in the early stages makes financial sense, and for a new website with modest traffic and simple requirements, a low-cost hosting plan is often entirely adequate. The problem is that “affordable” and “cheap” are not the same […]
Dedicated server hosting costs more than shared hosting or a VPS. That much is obvious from any pricing comparison. The relevant question is not whether it costs more, it does, but whether what you receive in return justifies the difference for your specific workload and business context. The answer is not universal. Dedicated server hosting […]
Choosing a server is only half the infrastructure decision. The other half, who manages it, has just as much impact on cost, reliability, and how much of your own time the server demands. Managed hosting answers that question by putting server administration in the provider’s hands; unmanaged hosting leaves it entirely in yours. The right […]
