What is a Dedicated Server?
In a pecan-sized nutshell: A dedicated server means your software, applications and data are all safely hosted on one server that belongs to your business alone. This means you’ll always experience top performance on a reliable, uncrowded private server.
Generally, dedicated cloud servers are operated and maintained by a professional cloud hosting company, so you don’t have to worry about hardware upgrades and IT maintenance. Third-party dedicated servers are often located off-site in a secure data center rather than in-house at your physical office. Additionally, certain providers, like Summit Hosting, also create backups of your data. So, if a disaster were to occur, don’t fret – we do nightly server backups that are retained for 15 days.
Shared Hosting vs Dedicated Server Hosting
When it comes to dedicated server hosting and shared hosting, there tends to be a lot of confusion. So, let’s clear some things up:
Shared Servers
Shared hosting refers to when multiple companies and/or users share the same resources (disk space, memory storage, bandwidth, etc.) on one server. In a shared hosting environment, there’s always a chance your performance can lag depending on how many other people are using the server and the type of applications they are using. Also, this type of server isn’t usually customizable since it’s shared.
Dedicated Servers
Dedicated servers, however, are not shared: they’re dedicated to one company. In a dedicated cloud environment, your business is the only one using the resources on the server. Because of this, you’ll experience the best overall performance. And, you will have more freedom to control and customize your cloud, according to your unique needs. At Summit Hosting, for example, we build dedicated servers in RDP (remote desktop protocol) environments that are fully customizable. Your business admin can add/update whatever you need or our engineers can handle it for you— just ask about our pricing and how to get started.
