What is a Dedicated Server?
A dedicated server is a type of internet hosting service in which a single computer network is leased
to one customer.
Who should use Dedicated Servers?
Dedicated Servers are generally recommended for clients with large or high volume websites or those
using customized software or applications. This type of hosting solution typically provides the
highest level of performance and security in terms of cost effectiveness compared to a Virtual
Private Server.
Benefits of Dedicated Servers
Dedicated servers allow companies the greatest level of reliability, security, and storage.
Fast and reliable service is vital to any organization’s growth. The benefits of dedicated servers
include:
- Speed - Using a dedicated service will ensure your website will always perform fast. This is especially important since visitors rely on user friendliness and accessibility.
- Security - For websites requiring a high level of security, dedicated web servers provide a greater level of security than shared hosting. Since the website will have a dedicated server, a client does not need to worry their account or website being harmed in some way by another site or hosting client.
- Storage - Dedicated web servers utilize a large amount of bandwidth and disk space to accommodate growth, which will allow organizations to expand their websites or accept a higher traffic volume.
- Control - Dedicated servers allow companies to manage and control their own servers.
