If you host your websites on a dedicated hosting server, you would expect that they will perform lightning fast and that the access speed to them shall depend solely on the Internet connection of the visitors. However, this is not going to be the case if the hosting server has poor network connectivity or relies on a network card, which just cannot cope with high volume of traffic. If this is the situation, it will take a very long time for your websites to load if lots of people open them at the same time or visitors may see error messages. Because of this you might lose site visitors as in all probability many people will not revisit your site in the event that they have experienced issues or slow loading speeds. This is the reason why you ought to pay attention to the network components of any new hosting machine that you acquire and not only to the main hardware such as Central processing unit, Random access memory or hard disk drive.
