A dedicated hosting service, dedicated server, or managed hosting service is a type of Internet hosting in which the client leases an entire server not shared with anyone. This is more flexible than shared hosting, as organizations have full control over the server(s), including choice of operating system, hardware, etc. Server administration can usually be provided by the hosting company as an add-on service. In some cases a dedicated server can offer less overhead and a larger return on investment. Dedicated servers are most often housed in data centers, similar to colocation facilities, providing redundant power sources and HVAC systems. In contrast to colocation, the server hardware is owned by the provider and in some cases they will provide support for your operating system or applications.

A managed server is a dedicated web hosting server that is managed by an external party—normally your web hosting company. With traditional dedicated server hosting you’re in charge of overseeing your web hosting server, keeping the software up-to-date and providing security for that server. With a managed server, a full time system administrator does all of that for you, and more.
