    Prospect of VPS vs Dedi Server

    Our dedicated server business is growing very strong, and we are thinking strategically about investment for expansion.

    2 high level directions:

    - expand geographically (from our current focus in CA) to rest of US, or other globally locations
    - expand vertically (add managed servers, or VPS)

    Would appreciate feedbacks, inputs on the pros and cons of the 2options above

    Thanks

    Can't you make your own business decisions?

    That said, why wouldn't you expand your dedicated service since it's working out well for you? Focusing on another market is riskier.

    Develop VPS packages and have those be what gets extended to new markets until you see how things go and then you can also offer international dedi.

    ...But really? You don't already cater to the US, CA's largest trade partner? Do you hate money?

    That is my hunch as well. What kind of advertising option are you guys using, besides Offer Section in WHT?

    We are focusing on Dedi, and have Colo service as well. Our attractive offerings (data center location, network performance, and good servers and services) have enabled us to grow nicely.

    "Don't put all eggs in one basket" is exactly the thought process we are going through. The question is which direction to diversify.
