Dedicated hosting is a type of web hosting service where a single client rents an entire physical server from a web hosting provider. The client has exclusive use of the server’s resources, such as CPU, RAM, storage, and network bandwidth, and is responsible for managing the server, including its software, security, and maintenance. This makes dedicated hosting a suitable option for businesses with high-traffic websites, mission-critical applications, or special security requirements. Compared to shared hosting and cloud hosting, dedicated hosting provides more control and customization options, but also requires a higher level of technical expertise and comes at a higher cost.
