- At the beginning bare metal servers were very expensive cost
- Not enough support to handle questions like load balancing to figure out alone so this prevented me from making more profit because servers would be down
I am currently using all virtual servers and not Bare Metal Servers anymore. I do not see the advantage of paying more and encountering more issues with Bare Metal Servers. Virtual servers seem like a better situation for my use.

Full implementation of production and development servers. Bare metal servers are not as common as cloud computing for today's modern server needs.

I recommend for people to be very knowledgeable on the Operating System that is installed on the server. I lean more towards Linux operating systems and it's important to know the ins and outs of maintaining the server(s). Server administration is an important role to keep the server updated and analysis logs.
