What is a Dedicated Server?

A dedicated hosting service, dedicated server, or managed hosting service is a type of Internet hosting in which you leases an entire server not shared with anyone. This is more flexible than shared hosting, as your organization will have full control over the server(s), including choice of operating system, hardware, etc. Server administration is handled by yourself in terms of software, but we provide 24/7 support for hardware related tasks. Dedicated servers are housed in one of our worldwide data centers, similar to colocation facilities , providing redundant power sources and HVAC systems. In contrast to colocation, the server hardware is owned by us, and consists of a lease of space + machine.
