Dedicated server hosting is the type of web hosting where entire web server is leased by customer for its specific use. This is then used to host their multiple website.

Dedicated hosting is the opposite of shared and VPS hosting, that several customers share the same server. It is cheaper and usually sufficient for small and medium sites, while dedicated hosting is more suitable for large sites who have the large databases. It is bit more costly than other, but for some sites, it may end up being more cost effective due to the advantages it offers.

One of the plus point of a dedicated server is that the customer has full control over the server. The server is not affected by other sites who sharing the server as it could be shared hosting. They also have the choice of operating system and hardware and other things. They have complete control over any changes they want to make in respect of their accommodation.

With shared hosting other sites may use a higher amount than expected bandwidth at a time and this could affect other sites on the same server, leaving less bandwidth for them. Of course this is not the problem with a dedicated server. It is generally have much more extra bandwidth available and if it is all of a sudden the large increase in the number of visitors so it is able to manage with that. Safety is another factor that is enhanced by a dedicated server. Again, because there is only one customer who own the server there are no other users Website to compromising security. Those Websites who requires more security, paying extra amount for dedicated hosting is a well-advised decision.

Dedicated hosting can be managed or not. With Managed Hosting Dedicated package hosting company manages the server and hosting. They provide all the hardware and software and verify that the server is operating correctly. They also provide 24 / 7 customer support. They can also take care of some administrative tasks and are responsible for ensuring that the server remains protected.

These benefits are not available with Unmanaged hosting. Here the customer is in control, something that is viewed positively by some and negatively by others. It means all choices are made by the client may have its advantages. It is a disadvantage but for customers who do not have the skills or time to arrange accommodation and problems that may arise. Unmanaged hosting only suitable for those users who have the technical skills in server handling and able to perform all tasks in hosting themselves.

Dedicated Hosting has many plus points for those sites that have the need. For small websites it is usually not necessary and shared or VPS hosting is sufficient, but for many benefits, dedicated servers are always on top of the list.
