Dedicated server hosting is an internet hosting option where an organization takes a complete server for their own business. The entire server resources are dedicated to that single entity. You can choose the type of hardware and the operating system. You can host any number of websites and use the server for any purpose. Your server is housed at the host’s
data center where you can be assured of maximum network up-time and high-speed connections.
Dedicated server hosting gives you root access where you can configure or install any application to suit your business demands. Unlike in the other hosting forms, you do not share the server with anyone else. You are assured of complete resources for yourself. There is no possibility of anyone else sneaking into your server area as your host offers enhanced security with firewalls and intrusion detection and prevention devices.
Dedicated server hosting is an ideal option for the large businesses that have high traffic of visitors through out and they need maximum up-time. Businesses that look for complete isolation and privacy also prefer dedicated servers. The host provides for operating system upgrades and updates to the software they install. However, you must manage the software that you install. Some other services that the host provides include
data backup and
disaster recovery and 24/7 support.
