What is a dedicated server?

A dedicated server (sometimes called a dedicated hosting service or managed hosting) is a type of web hosting.

The typical web hosting services that we provide involve placing you on a server with other company websites. A dedicated server is one where a client pays for an entire server (meaning that no other company website is on it)

Advantages

  • Everything often goes a little faster
  • There is more space on the server
  • There is more programming flexibility since you have complete control over the server

Disadvantages

  • It's much more costly to run
  • Someone has to manage it

Note: we manage the server for you if you get a dedicated server from us, hence the term "managed dedicated server"

Fees: Pricing varies based on your specific need. Typically $600/month, $1,000/month, and $1,500/month
