What are dedicated servers and what are they used for?
Under some circunstances, a proffesional web hosting solution and an Internet presence require a propietary server for our exclusive use. This kind of machines, generally servers for rent or servers owned by us (housing), are the ones we name dedicated servers.
A virtual server is physically located in a machine that is shared by several users. Even if it is a great solution to start our online presence in the Internet, it presents some deficiencies that a dedicated server can correct.
A dedicated server provides a higher level of flexibility in the construction of pages and the development of applications, faster access, as well as corporative data bases security and root access for remote administration. Dedicated servers also mean trustworthiness for our site. Dedicated hosting runs on an exclusive physical machine. They do not share with other web sites the bandwidth, the space on disc or other resources like processor times and RAM memory. |
