Dedicated Hosting
A dedicated hosting service, dedicated server, or managed hosting service is a type of Internet hosting in which the client leases an entire server not shared with anyone else. This is more flexible than shared hosting, as organizations have full control over the server, including choice of operating system, hardware, etc.
Need a dedicated IP?
To order dedicated IP address for hosting, just send an email to requesting one or more IP's then we will assign them to your hosting account and send the details by email to you.
The cost of a single IP address is $5/month.
PLEASE NOTE: the billing cycle for your dedicated IP will be automatically adjusted to match the current billing period of your hosting plan.
What are the drawbacks of dedicated hosting?
Dedicated hosting isn’t the best fit for every kind of website owner. For starters, they’re much more technical to manage. Sometimes even requiring an entire team. If you’re less technical, but still require a dedicated server, there are managed dedicated server hosting packages that will reduce the number of technical tasks you must perform.
Another disadvantage is the cost. Dedicated server hosting environments will be the most expensive option available to you. So, if you’re just starting out, or have a low budget for hosting, then there are better options out there.
What benefits does dedicated hosting have
Dedicated hosting can be very advantageous for certain websites and applications.
- Dedicated servers are one of the most secure hosting options. The simple fact that you won’t be sharing a server with other sites that might be vulnerable to hacking is a big plus.
- Dedicated servers also tend to have higher uptime, as there are less hardware and software failures that may result in your site being taken down.
- Dedicated servers are also optimized for performance and uniquely structured to address your unique website needs. Your site will be able to utilize the full resources of the server without having to share them or compete for them, with other websites.
Finally, dedicated servers also provide you with scalability to meet the changing needs of your website. This style of hosting environment has larger resource allocation abilities, plus additional servers can be brought on if you exceed those resources.
Who is dedicated hosting for
First, dedicated server environments are geared towards more technical users. Managing your own server, and keeping it efficient and secure does take a lot of work.
As a result, dedicated server hosting is typically used by very high traffic websites, complex applications, or anything else that requires a high-level of security.
Dedicated hosting is also much more expensive than other hosting options, so it’s typically reserved for companies or individuals who have profitable online ventures.
How does dedicated hosting work?
With dedicated server hosting, you’re renting an entire physical server. This provides you with unparalleled customization and control over your server environment. Plus, you’ll have access to higher levels of server resources.
With a dedicated server, you’ll be able to customize your CPU type, operating system, and the total amount of RAM and storage available.
What is dedicated hosting?
Dedicated hosting is a single web hosting environment that’s dedicated to the needs of a single website. This is typically for websites that are large, receive a high volume of traffic, or require a unique hosting setup.
In dedicated hosting clients get complete control over their server environment. This allows for complete server customization and is ideal for larger organizations.
What’s the difference between managed and unmanaged dedicated hosting
With unmanaged dedicated hosting, you’ll essentially be renting a blank server, and customizing it to your liking. You’ll be in charge of technical tasks like server maintenance, security, software updates, and everything else required to keep your server secure and running.
With managed dedicated hosting, you’ll typically have a team of experts that will help to setup and manage your dedicated server. You’ll usually have to do some technical tasks yourself, but that list will be much smaller than if you were running an unmanaged dedicated server.
Shared Hosting
Shared web hosting service refers to a web hosting service where many websites reside on one web server connected to the Internet. This is generally the most economical option for hosting, as the overall cost of server maintenance is amortized over many customers.
What is shared hosting intended for?
Shared hosting is intended as a platform for blogs, small organizations websites, and other similar functions. It is well-suited to those uses but is not a good fit for high-traffic sites.
How does shared web hosting work?
The "shared" in shared hosting refers to the fact that multiple websites are sharing a single web server. Shared is a perfect option for new bloggers or small websites that are just getting started online who need an economical option. As your site traffic grows, you can seamlessly upgrade at any time to a different hosting plan such as cloud hosting.
