| Unlike normal
hosting plans, which put many customers'
accounts on a single server, a dedicated
server is reserved exclusively for the
account and usage of a single customer.
This means that the dedicated server
customer has exclusive rights to the
server's bandwidth, memory and storage
space; performance will not be affected
by traffic and usage patterns of other
customers. When you purchase a
dedicated server, you actually lease a
server box, which will be configured and
set up according to your preferences,
but remains at our data center. A
dedicated server account provides a
dedicated IP address and full control of
server usage and software installation,
as you have admin (root) access to the
server.
Dedicated servers are particularly
useful for companies and individuals
that run very-high-traffic Websites or
applications and thus need the
bandwidth, versatility, and consistent
performance of a dedicated box. This
means that you can use the server for a
wide variety of purposes, including
gaming, database management, and
traffic-intensive Websites.
