A dedicated server is actually a rented service in the business of web hosting.
Dedicated server hosting remains a typical hosting configuration where the dedicated server is dedicated to the services of a single user, which may be a business organisation or a company. This dedicated server serves a single dedicated service, such as hosting web sites or hosting an application.
A dedicated server is also a server that may be placed remotely. This dedicated server is installed, deployed, hosted and managed by a professional hosting service provider company, such as Go4hosting. A dedicated server is never shared with any other user, with any application or with a service.
A dedicated server offers server functionality exactly same as an in house server. But a dedicated server is always owned by a back end
web server hosting service provider company, who also operates and manages the dedicated server. The client or the user needs to connect to the dedicated server remotely. This connectivity is done over the internet. The dedicated server user can then perform a various set of services, which are based on the dedicated server.

hosting applications and other services, but it has to be one service at a time. Dedicated server performs well for
data storage and it provides the
best backup services also.
