This server holds all the essential website information&nbsp;and shares it with visitors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is known as web hosting. Unless you have a technical background, you&#8217;ll have to rely on a web hosting provider to make your website publicly accessible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote><p>A <strong>Dedicated Server<\/strong> is a type of web hosting service in which the client has full and exclusive use of the whole server without resources being shared with anyone else.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>There are two different types of web hosting: shared and dedicated. Which one is right for you and your business?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A shared hosting provider&nbsp;uses a single server to maintain several different websites. This means your website will have to share resources with those of other companies. Shared hosting is generally a bit cheaper but is otherwise an inferior option.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In contrast,&nbsp;a dedicated server supports a single client and is not shared with any others. When you lease or rent a dedicated server,&nbsp;you receive all the resources you pay for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_Do_You_Need_a_Dedicated_Server\"><\/span>Why Do You Need a Dedicated Server?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The difference between shared hosting vs. dedicated hosting&nbsp;is not as minute as you may think. Dedicated servers are more secure, offer better performance, and can handle more traffic to your website. Even a small business can profit from these benefits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Let&#8217;s take a closer look at these benefits and what they mean for your company.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1_Security_Protection\"><\/span>1. Security Protection<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Dedicated web hosting is a controlled environment. As the sole owner, you choose who has access to the data and server. There&#8217;s&nbsp;also more flexibility to enact sweeping security protocols that would be impossible on a shared server.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Shared web hosting presents a variety of security complications in comparison. For example, it&#8217;s possible shared users can gain access to your website&#8217;s data. While unlikely, it&#8217;s not unheard of. The chances are significantly higher for that to happen on a shared server than with a dedicated server.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Banks and other financial institutions consider it a serious security threat. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.centurybizsolutions.net\/pci-compliance\/what-does-pci-compliance-mean-for-your-business\/\">That&#8217;s why shared hosting is not PCI compliant<\/a>. Since the information isn&#8217;t secure, you can&#8217;t handle credit card transactions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Superior_Performance\"><\/span>2. Superior Performance<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Everything on a dedicated server is yours. You don&#8217;t have to worry about sharing <a href=\"https:\/\/www.maple-hosting.com\/blog\/what-does-bandwidth-mean-and-how-much-bandwidth-your-server-needs\/\">server bandwidth<\/a> during peak business hours. The web host will give you root access to the server, allowing you to customize server settings and use its resources more efficiently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dedicated servers have a lot of resources and it&#8217;s unlikely you&#8217;ll use them right away.&nbsp;This gives your website more flexibility to scale. You have more room to add&nbsp;extra functionality later on, such as an e-commerce store.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At your request, most&nbsp;hosting providers are happy to upgrade your server. With a short downtime, they can add storage or ram to keep things blazing fast.&nbsp;Alternatively, they can transfer your data to a superior device.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Shared hosting plans rarely advertise the performance capabilities of their servers. You&#8217;ll have an idea of your storage space and may have a guaranteed bandwidth. However, this speaks little of its actual processing power.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Search_Engine_Optimization\"><\/span>3.&nbsp;Search Engine Optimization<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The most important advantage of a dedicated server? Better search engine optimization.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Google penalizes websites with slow loading speeds, which&nbsp;are common with shared hosting plans.&nbsp;This penalty is a lower website ranking and&nbsp;thus reduced website traffic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You may have heard that sharing an IP address on a shared server is bad for SEO. Let&#8217;s say one of your&nbsp;server neighbors is a malicious or adult website. Some think that search engines may delist the website&nbsp;via its IP,&nbsp;removing yours in the process. While this thought makes sense, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.woorank.com\/en\/edu\/seo-guides\/ip-address-seo-impact\">Google has explained that a shared IP in and by itself doesn&#8217;t make you less likely to rank<\/a>. However, having a dedicated IP does it make easier to set up an <a href=\"https:\/\/seositecheckup.com\/articles\/how-does-an-ssl-certificate-affect-search-engine-rankings\">SSL certificate which does affect ranking<\/a>, user safety, and their experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Lastly, bad&nbsp;website performance&nbsp;deters&nbsp;website visitors. Almost 50%&nbsp;of visitors will leave a&nbsp;page that takes 3 seconds or longer to load. Since dedicated hosting provides superior performance, it&#8217;s easier to guarantee quick load speeds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_Uptime_Reliability\"><\/span>4. Uptime Reliability<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Dedicated servers are more reliable. The actions of other websites will have no impact on the functionality of your own. And&nbsp;under periods of heavy stress, you have more control over resource allocation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>More&nbsp;people use a shared network, so it&#8217;s more likely problems will occur. The server host may have to disable the entire network just to make a fix for a single client.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On a shared network, you&#8217;re more vulnerable to a distributed denial of service (DDoS). Someone can target a neighboring website on your shared server. Since a DDoS overloads server resources, your website will go down in the process. This can cause VPS Hosting and Shared Hosting plans to be much less stable than Dedicated Servers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dedicated networks tend to have more sophisticated DDoS protection. There&#8217;s also less chance you&#8217;ll be a target since an attacker must aim for you directly. And when&nbsp;something does go wrong, you can contact your server provider for immediate physical support.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Choose_the_Best_Dedicated_Server_Provider\"><\/span>Choose the Best Dedicated Server Provider<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>What are dedicated servers without a great web host provider?
