What is Dedicated Web Hosting? What is a Dedicated Server?
Dedicated Web Hosting
A dedicated server is an entire server hardware unit that is purchased for use by a single web hosting customer. Dedicated hosting means that you’re not sharing a server with thousands of complete strangers, as you would be with shared hosting. The server is “dedicated” just to you.
In other words, one spot on the server rack has a hosting server, complete with network card, memory, hard drive, motherboard, etc, all reserved for an individual dedicated hosting client. In this instance, none of the web hosting server equipment is shared by other customers.
What is a Semi Dedicated Server?
A semi dedicated server, also called a virtual dedicated server (VDS) or virtual private server (vps), is a shared slice on someone else’s a dedicated server.
The most common name for a semi dedicated server is a virtual private server or VPS. The semi dedicated server is purchased by one person and then shared among multiple users.
What is a Managed Semi Dedicated Server?
A semi dedicated server can be unmanaged or managed. An unmanaged server is typically self-serve, DIY, or lower service, lower cost option. Adding full management to a server means that you get a greater level of service, usually at a higher cost (that can vary from a little to a lot, depending on the company). What we offer you are affordable semi dedicated web hosting packages on a managed server.
Who Needs a Semi Dedicated Server?
Many companies start out with either traditional or cloud shared hosting. Each website is different, but in general, a small website with low volumes of visitor traffic won’t need a lot of server resources.
As a site becomes bigger, or more popular, the demands on the server increase. This means more CPU cycles, more bandwidth, more memory and/or more drive storage. Increased demands can also arise from installing an Ecommerce or content management systems like WordPress, both of which can require much more bandwidth and other resources to run than a basic html website.
Dedicated Web Hosting on a Dedicated Server
A dedicated resource is perfect for a site that uses a lot of bandwidth for pictures and videos. With Dedicated Business Web Hosting, your site is less likely to have outages. All plans include unmetered traffic, unlimited databases and dedicated resources.
We do not limit the space and bandwidth you may use. If your website at any time begins to take up an unusual amount of space compared to any other site on the server, or if it grows so large that it takes away resources from the other web sites on the server due to the size or bandwidth needs, then we would discuss other options at that point.
