Think of a dedicated web server as a storage unit for your website or web applications. It keeps documents, videos, images and other computer files online. Web hosting companies rent space to you. All you’ve got to do is upload files or a website onto the server.
Dedicated servers are fully-managed, business class servers. They are perfect for resource-heavy apps and giant websites. With a dedicated server, you have full control over how to configure your hosting environment making it perfect for major hosting needs.
- Security is a top priority
- You expect consistently high levels of traffic
- Page load times need to be lightning fast
- You need custom programming options
- You’re anticipating major growth
VPS: A Virtual Private Server, still involves hosting several websites on the same server, but there's a hypervisor that ensures that one website doesn't start causing trouble for the other sites on the server. With VPS Hosting, you're allocated a certain amount of RAM, bandwidth and server space.
Dedicated: You're able to choose the equipment, including the amount and type of RAM, the size and type of hard drive and the processor, used in the server. Further, 100 percent of the server's resources are allocated to your site and they aren't shared with any others.
As many as you like. Although we does not set any limits on the number of websites you can host, this number depends on a few factors: 1) the amount of resources provided with your server and the technologies you use, 2) your bandwidth requirements and 3) if you have an HTML-designed website or a CMS-based website. Due to the static nature of an HTML-designed website, you can host more websites. With CMS-based websites, you can host fewer websites due to an increase in RAM and CPU processing.
There is no setup fee associated with our Dedicated Servers. Once you’ve purchased your Dedicated Server, our Risk Management specialists check your order and forward it along to our Tech Team. Here, they set up a server with the Linux-based operating system (OS) such as CentOS, Ubuntu, Debian or CloudLinux, as well as other addons of your choice. From there, you’ll receive a Welcome Email with your access details and additional instructions. On average, the setup process takes less than 4 hours to complete. The exception is for Dedicated Server customers who choose Complete Server Management, which may take longer. If this is the case, our 24/7 Support Team will personally reach out to you.
Due to technical restrictions, a virtual local area network (VLAN) cannot be set up or installed by you. Please get in touch with our Tech Support Team.
