DEDICATED. Tags: dedicated hosting 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. Availability, price and
employee familiarity often determines which operating systems
are offered on dedicated servers. Va
