Dedicated Hosting - Links

Dedicated Hosting is a web hosting arrangement in which one gets a server of his own. There are minimal restrictions, except for those designed to maintain the integrity of the Web host's network (for instance, banning sites with adult content due to the increase risk of attack by hackers and grey legal issues for the ISP). Unless a separate management plan is purchased from the host, the user is also generally on his own. This can be an expensive proposition, as the purchase of the dedicated server itself is generally far more expensive compared to shared hosting.

Types of Web Hosting.   Under Shared Hosting, several sites are stored under a single server. This is in contrast to the costlier Dedicated Hosting, in which case the site gets a server of its own. An affordable alternative to Dedicated Hosting is Virtual Private Server Hosting, in which case one physical server houses several Virtual Environments which behave exactly like an isolated stand-alone server.
