Buy or Rent?

[Captain Tycoon]

What is better, should i buy a server or rent it? I would save money to buy the server won't i?

All depends on your aims I think.

[jaenvitEK]

Yea depends on what you want to do with it.. if your going to get it for a long time i say you should buy it.

Buying your own server is the course of action. Saving a few more months is worth it so you won't have the hassle to switching server company when you don't want to do business with them again.

Rent. In any case that is better for you always. Only have a look at reputable companies. As for dedicated server I'd suggest you WebhostingBuzz.com or Servers4you.com.

Specify your needs and budget.

if u have many websites then i say buy and the counterpart need not be mentioned anyways. But if u think u have very few then rent it it will be cheap

[Captain Tycoon]

I guess it would be hard, but Im still thinking of this since my brother is an excellent techi I'm sure he would be able to manage it for me (Free) hehe.

Of course to buy if you want to have it for long period otherwise if you need it only for few weeks or month - rent

It's depends on your purpose.Actually, buy is better than rent. You have excellent technician.So you should buy

[thegreenblob]

I would personally just buy one. It seems like it would be cheaper in the long run.

I would have to say rent until you are sure that the projects that you have in place warrant a move to buying. Most people tend to overestimate what their sites will take in terms of resources and so renting allows you to figure out what level you want to be at.

[Frikkle]

Yeah, it depends. If it's a short term project, then I think that it is better to rent out the dedicated server. Then you can switch to another host if not everything goes satisfactorily. But if it's a serious project, then you may as well buy one. They're faster in a datacenter though in my opinion.

yea ... buyign a server is better than renting it ... you can buying server and have full control over it ... renting ones are used and cheap quality and slow, too

[Nully]

Depends on your money, if you dont have too much of them, i would rent it until you get more money and then re-buy it.
