What is a Dedicated Server?

Dedicated servers allow organizations of any size to rent pre-configured, state-of-the-art equipment and connectivity from the service provider. Dedicated hosting gives you the opportunity to have an entire server for your exclusive use.

There are many options to consider when looking for a dedicated server. Is the server managed? What uptime guarantee is offered? Which operating system, Windows Server 2003, or a Linux server such as Red Hat Enterprise?

By renting your own dedicated server you have full control over your Web presence:

• Choosing and configuring the operating system for your server
• Installing any third-party software and applications you wish
• Individualizing server settings for faster delivery of multimedia and e-commerce applications
• Customizing and partitioning the storage space to your unique requirements.

The drawback of this service is that dedicated servers typically cost much more than using a shared server, and often the level of technical knowledge required keeps them out of reach of beginners. Managed dedicated servers offer all the benefits of unmanaged servers, but eliminate the need to know how to manage and secure a server.
