Unlike shared hosting where thousands of customers share a computer (server), is a dedicated hosting, a solution where a client rents an entire computer that is only for the client’s site / sites. This makes a dedicated solution very attractive for large websites with high traffic and that is entirely dependent on high up-time and total control. Dedicated hosting is often used by large companies.

Advantages of dedicated server hosting:

When you buy a dedicated server, you have full access to the server. Dedicated servers are usually adapted to the bandwidth, memory and hard disk space you need. If you have a large site with much traffic, a dedicated server will be cheaper in the long term.

Disadvantages of dedicated server:

Additional functionality also means a higher price. Most dedicated server packages involve a form of start-up cost, because it is far more time consuming than other solutions. Most dedicated solutions also require that you use has the necessary skills needed to control a dedicated server on a daily basis.
