Dedicated hosting is an Internet hosting option in which a physical server (or servers) is dedicated to a single business customer. The customer has complete control over the machine, so they can optimize it for their unique requirements, including performance and security. The hosting provider supplies the physical server and environment, the associated services and technical support.
Dedicated hosting is synonymous with dedicated hosting service, managed hosting service and dedicated server.
What is Dedicated Hosting?
As the single tenant of a dedicated environment, an organization’s IT staff control the server, its apps and operating systems.
Businesses can easily change server configurations, add new software and adjust resources to meet their needs.
An organization can optimize a dedicated server to support their most demanding applications and performance requirements.
Businesses can customize the server to help meet their security and compliance needs.
