Dedicated Hosting

Dedicated hosting is a type of web hosting service where the hosting provider dedicates a single machine for a customer's web site or sites. The service is aimed at meeting the specific needs of each individual customer. The host houses and rents the software and hardware equipment to the customer, and provides the technical support and maintenance of it. Dedicated servers are usually necessary for sites that generate a lot of traffic. Most servers can be operated remotely from the client company and can usually save router, Internet connection, security and administration costs. When renting a dedicated server you may have to use a certain computer system or have a choice of several systems. Some companies let renters do virtual hosting on the servers for third parties.
