A dedicated host server is a physical server dedicated solely to hosting your website. You have full control of its hardware, enabling high traffic volumes without slowdowns or crashes.
Upgrade to a dedicated server for enhanced security and faster loading speeds, with customizable management levels like user-responsible, basic or complete management available.
Customization
With dedicated hosting, your website will have all its server resources at its disposal, enabling you to configure it according to your specific needs and meet customer data security regulations or specific software configurations. It is an ideal option for websites handling confidential customer data or needing unique software configurations.
Dedicated servers differ from shared hosting in that they contain their own physical hardware, making your website capable of handling more traffic while remaining consistent in performance. Therefore, dedicated servers make for an excellent option for companies seeking to expand the number of visitors coming through to their website.
Dedicate server hosting offers businesses additional security. Since only one website will be deployed onto one server environment, dedicated server hosting helps protect against data breaches and protect from security risks. Furthermore, dedicated servers provide various management options including OS security patches and WHM updates that help save internal resources so businesses can focus more efficiently on other aspects of their business.
Flexibility
A dedicated host server’s flexibility enables your website to respond smoothly to traffic spikes without experiencing downtime, which is especially advantageous when loading complex elements quickly. Google sees this as a positive indicator and ranks you higher in its search results when page loading times are fast.
A dedicated host is also capable of spreading a website across multiple servers, giving users the power to select how much redundancy is necessary. This enables websites to be stored on multiple physical servers so they are still accessible even if the main one goes down.
As sole owners of their dedicated server environment, businesses have complete freedom to customize its configuration, add new software programs and adjust resources as they see fit to meet performance, stability, control, scalability and security requirements. Dedicated hosting is best-suited for organizations that experience significant business traffic; more cost-effective than shared hosting options.
Security
Dedicated servers offer businesses and websites the privacy and performance required for optimal operations. By only allowing authorized access, these physical servers protect against unwarranted intrusion by restricting login to only owners themselves; in addition, advanced features like anti-virus protection and the capability of scanning for malware are included as added benefits.
These security measures can be especially helpful to websites that handle sensitive information, like credit card numbers and other confidential data. By protecting this data from being stolen by hackers and being vulnerable to denial-of-service attacks that waste hardware resources and render the website inoperable, these security measures help safeguard its confidentiality and ensure its future usability.
Dedicated host servers may offer more efficient performance than shared hosting plans, due to the dedicated use of resources. While any website can benefit from hosting on dedicated servers, dedicated server plans are especially suitable for larger sites that experience heavy traffic or require high levels of stability.
Performance
Dedicated hosting servers allow you to maximize performance by dedicating the entire server environment exclusively for your website, offering superior uptime and guaranteed resources – an ideal solution for websites which prioritize user experience or process payments.
Not only can dedicated host servers deliver enhanced performance, but they also offer enhanced security. Since you aren’t sharing the server with any other customers and can install your own firewall software to provide more effective protection from hackers and other online threats, a content delivery network (CDN) can speed up page load time for visitors from various parts of the globe.
Devoted host servers offer stable connectivity. By choosing one, you can enjoy reliable connections to Level3, Highwinds, Cogent and HE. Furthermore, dedicated hosts come equipped with their own private peering network that can ensure consistent speeds at fast speeds. Dedicated hosts also feature three management options — User-Responsible Management; Basic Server Management and Complete Server Management — so you can customize hardware and software configurations specifically to suit your individual needs.
