What is Dedicated Hosting? |
 |
The Dedicated Hosting environment provides an exclusive server or servers devoted solely to your web site. You do not share a server with other customers, as with shared hosting. |
|
When do you need a Dedicated Server? |
|
While simple, text-based sites are better suited for a shared server, enterprise-level web sites operate much more efficiently on a dedicated server because the dedicated hosting environment provides higher reliability, increased performance, greater security and exclusive use of system and network resources. Therefore, those sites that have high traffic, secure information, a high number of visitors or complex applications (i.e. e-commerce, dynamic content, database applications and multimedia applications) are better suited for a dedicated server. |
|
What are the advantages of Dedicated Server Hosting? |
|
Dedicated hosting offers many enticing features such as:
- You do not have to purchase or maintain your own equipment.
- Better website performance due to dedicated machine(s).
- No chance of your website being affected by another website on the same box, as in shared hosting.
|
|
I don’t have a dedicated server now. When should I make the decision to switch over to one? |
|
You may want to move up to a dedicated server if your needs match or surpass the following:
- Programs require access by system administrator
- A backup server is required
- Multiple IP addresses are needed
- Daily data transfer becomes excessive
- Storage capacity becomes excessive
- Third party software needs to be run on your site
- You want to start a hosting company or you have a hosting company

|
What is the difference between a dedicated server and co-location? |
|
A Dedicated Server is a server provided by a web host for you to rent. You have remote access to the server and you can customize the server to your own needs. The web host owns the server and you don't have physical access it. Co-location means you store your own server at a facility of a co-location provider. A co-location provider provides an Internet connection to your server and allows you physical access to your own server when you need it. |
|
What is the difference between Managed and Unmanaged dedicated hosting service? |
|
Managed Hosting is for customers who prefer to have their web host provider maintain and monitor their dedicated servers, operating system and all supported applications. Companies or individuals who do not have the required system administration resources on-staff commonly choose this option. Unmanaged Hosting is for customers who have extensive system administration expertise to maintain and manage their dedicated servers. This option generally provides customers with full access to their server allowing them to customize configurations. |
