What is a Dedicated Server?
|
|
Unlike a shared or virtual hosting account where multiple customers reside on one server, dedicated servers are used by just one client. Dedicated servers support a wide variety of platforms including Linux, Windows NT, Windows 2000 and Sun. They can also provide faster access to information and greater flexibility for applications (Web, database, e-commerce, etc…). In a dedicated server environment, customers lease a server, rack space, Internet connectivity, hardware maintenance and certain levels of support. Outsourcing these variables ensures maximum performance, reliability and cost effectiveness. Most importantly, it frees up time for what you should be focusing on…running an effective e-business.
So, dedicated hosting means – you rent an entire server from a hosting company that is dedicated to your use only. You are NOT sharing disk space or server resources with anyone else like you do with the shared-server environment of Virtual Hosting. That is the key difference that makes Dedicated Hosting is more reliable and secure than Virtual Hosting since you never have to worry that someone who is sharing your server causes a problem by overloading or corrupting it.
Practically the only reason Virtual Hosting still tops Dedicated Hosting in popularity is cost. While Virtual is a whole lot cheaper, you’ll spend a lot more anxious time thinking about security and secrecy about your data . Though your service provider will insist into it, somewhere in your mind you wont be much sure about the safe and exclusive ceiling it had as its roof. On the other hand dedicated server costs exponentially more but it comes stocked with your favorite goodies, tackles your problem exclusively and entirely.
