What is a dedicated server?

The

dedicated server is the only web server in the computer network dedicated to one customer, most often a large enterprise.

The dedicated server better suits the needs of a large business for several reasons. The client can customize the hardware and software settings to suit the exact needs. Reserved servers with good customer service from the web hosting company are easy to come with good access to data faster and reserved servers. The host will cooperate with the client to make sure that the dedicated server meets all the needs of the client. In the case of a company that has multiple divisions or chains of retail stores, this becomes much more cost -effective and more efficient than any individual divisions or retail stores of host space on another web server. For example,

allows you to assume "Wisegeek Motorcycles Inc." operates chain of traders. Each business representation could have an individual website under the umbrellaEM parent companies, all placed on the same dedicated server. Pages might look like this:

• www.wisegeekmotorcycles.com (parent company)
• www.wisegeeksaleschicago.com (retail retailer in Chicago)
• www.wisegeeksaleshangles.com (retail dealer in Los Angeles)
• www.wisegeeksalesmanhattan.com (retail sales on Manhattan, etc.)

The advantage of having all sites located on the same dedicated server is that the sale software would be adapted and uniform. In other words, a trading representation in Chicago would be learning and using the same online tools as the Los Angeles. This significantly simplifies management and support, which makes Wisegeek very effective and cost -effective. This advantage of Becomes exponential when considering different divisions of the same society maybe on the same dedicated server.

Another added advantage of the dedicated server is stability. When operating a dedicated server, you have a great control over what can happen on this server. What scripts can be run, what types of online activities may occur, etc. On the contrary, when you are one of the many businesses on a shared server, your "UP-time" time "can be influenced by activities that are out of your control.

The ability to increase security is also an advantage for all companies based on a dedicated server.

For all these reasons and other, dedicated servers provide an excellent possibility of many larger businesses. Personal websites or very small businesses generally do not require a specialized server and can save money renting space from a standard web host.
