Dedicated Server is a type of Server Hosting where the
server is hosted physically. The server is within the web host data center and
it is rented to a single client with related software and Internet connection.
The Client can set up the system environment within the dedicated server
including software, operating system and if needed, a virtualization platform.
Most of the Web Host Company offers Operating System, Firewall maintenance,
data backups, disaster recovery and application updates.
There is a monthly or quarterly
or annual basis pricing method so that the client can avoid the upfront cost
and depreciation on the client’s balance sheet.
With Dedicated Server the client need not upgrade the
hardware or host the server on their premises which will incur a more
additional cost for networking, space, cooling, power supply, maintenance, and
security.
Reliability:
Dedicated Server offers high Reliability because the
users will be able to utilize and access all the resources like disk space and
processor power without any downtime because of limited RAM space and unlike Shared
Hosting creating unequal resources among the clients. With the Dedicated
Server, the uptime is increased and it will easy to operate resource intensive
websites and application with efficiently and smoothly.
Security:
Only one user will be provided all the server resources
and access to the server which in turn it makes the server more secured. With
Shared Hosting the client’s data are vulnerable to security issues. The users
can set up advanced security measure in the Dedicated Server where they can set
customizable security protocols according to their requirement.
Fewer
chances of the IP Address getting blacklisted:
When the IP address will be shared with other users so
there will less chance of the IP address getting blacklisted. The IP address is
blacklisted when the IP of the server involved in a malicious activity like
spamming etc so the Internet Service Providers blacklist such IP addresses. The
email service will get affected because of this so to remove the IP from
blacklist you have to pay some fees.
Admin
Access:
You can further customize your admin access because with
Dedicated Server you will get overall control of the server. You can install
the software and further customize the overall functioning of the server such
as resource usage, Operating system, RAM and much more. Having an overall
control over the running of the entire server becomes easier to adjust the
performance and security according to the requirement.
Technical
Support:
In most of the Web Hosting Company, the Dedicated Servers
are given undivided attention by providing advanced Technical support because
of most of the client host mission-critical applications. So this will increase
the uptime and eradicate the chance of the disruption of the server’s service
and applications.
Control:
With the Dedicated Server, the clients get overall
control on the Server. So the client can customize anyhow they want so there
will no restriction on anything. A client who has mission-critical applications
and services should opt for this so that they can further improve their
performance and security.
Resource
Availability:
When the server is only dedicated to one client then
there is more computing power so ultimately all the resources will be available
to that client which will keep the client in the posting of customizing the
server depending on the requirement.
Customization
of the Software:
As the Administrative has the full control then he/she can
further customize the software and hardware according to their need.
Servers are used to host websites and applications so if
you are on shared hosting server you may planning to switch to a dedicated
server so that you can increase the overall performance of the server and adopt
advanced security measures. Just because you want to increase the performance
and want to have full control of the server that doesn't mean that dedicated
server is the only option.
Dedicated Server is mainly for the people or companies
who have heavy applications or have a huge amount of traffic where they will
need a good amount of space and full control over the server. Managed Service
is for those people who have the less technical knowledge and need more
technical support but for Dedicated Server it is suitable for the system
administrator and web development professionals.
