Frequently Asked Questions

What is Dedicated Hosting?
Think of a dedicated web server as a storage unit for your website or web applications. It keeps documents, videos, images and other computer files online. Web hosting companies rent space to you. All you've got to do is upload files or a website onto the server.
Shared Hosting vs Dedicated Hosting
Shared: If you're new to web hosting, a shared platform is great for learning the ropes. It's perfectly adequate for businesses and websites that have light to moderate web traffic and don't require complex, customized server configurations.
Dedicated: With this option, you're the sole user on the server. Its capacity and resources are all yours. This gives you much more control over its configuration and overall operating environment. There's also a wider variety of services and software to choose from.

VPS vs Dedicated Hosting
VPS: A Virtual Private Server, still involves hosting several websites on the same server, but there's a hypervisor that ensures that one website doesn't start causing trouble for the other sites on the server. With VPS Hosting, you're allocated a certain amount of RAM, bandwidth and server space.
Dedicated: You're able to choose the equipment, including the amount and type of RAM, the size and type of hard drive and the processor, used in the server. Further, 100 percent of the server's resources are allocated to your site and they aren't shared with any others.
