What is a Dedicated Server?

[marsh]

A dedicated server is a single computer in a network reserved for serving the needs of the network. For example, some networks require that one computer be set aside to manage communications
between all the other computers. A dedicated server could also be a computer that manages printer resources. Note, however, that not all servers are dedicated. In some networks, it is possible for a computer to act as a server and perform other functions as well.

In the Web hosting business, a dedicated server is typically a rented service. The user rents the server, software
and an Internet connection from the Web host.

Hello Friends....

A dedicated server is purchased by a company when they want more control of their server. What happens is they purchase or rent the hardware from the hosting company who then normally support and manage it.

Hello Friends.....

When your site is hosted on a dedicated server, the Internet service provider (ISP) provides a NT or UNIX server and connects it to a high-speed Internet network. All you have to do is develop content for your site and install the necessary applications on the server.

Basically, these are for sites who want to enjoy most of the security than what shared hosting can provide.

Re:

If you need to upgrade your server, it is usually much easier with a dedicated option. You’ll have more control over backing up your content, and the ability to add more options and features, as well as disk space by simply upgrading your existing dedicated hosting package.

A Dedicated server is a physical standalone server which is allocated to a single user. Only a single user is hosted on that server. The user hosted on that server does not share his server resources with any other user. Moreover he has the freedom to install any 3rd party application like any game or any custom application which he has developed locally on the Dedicated server. The user has a root level access to his server, so he can customize the server as per his needs by changing the ports or by setting permissions on the end users. So complete customization can be achieved on Dedicated server.

When you opt for a dedicated server all the resources are completely dedicated only for your consumption. You can install third party applications on to the server which is not possible on a shared or is limited on a VPS. Having a dedicated server is benificial as the server belongs to you and you have the complete control of the server and the uptime of a dedicated server is very good.
