What is a dedicated server?

A dedicated server is a single-tenant hosting platform that provides you with full control over your IT infrastructure resources. Unlike shared hosting solutions, a dedicated server does not host multiple tenants. This means that all compute, storage, and network resources are used by a single client for their specific services and applications.

What does a dedicated server do?

A dedicated server allows you to securely host any business service or application. As a single-tenant solution, it provides you with improved data protection and more control compared to shared hosting platforms. It lets you host websites, databases, multimedia applications, streaming services, productivity applications, enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems, and other business-critical workloads.

What are the advantages of a dedicated server?

The key advantage of a dedicated server over shared hosting is its performance potential. With improved hardware components, it can support even the most demanding workloads and ensure consistent delivery even at peak times. Additional advantages include security, flexibility, and scalability.

What is the difference between a VPS and a dedicated server?

A Virtual Private Server (VPS) solution is very similar to a dedicated server in terms of performance potential and data security. The difference is in the delivery. A VPS is a virtualized environment on a shared hosting platform, while with a dedicated server you have full control over your resources.
