Powerful
Bare-Metal Servers

A dedicated server is a powerful hosting solution that can provide sustained high performance for your web services. It is a single-tenant hosting solution, offering you full access to its hardware components.

Dedicated server prices start at around $ 100/month for renting a base model server. Any additional upgrades that you choose for your dedicated server, such as unmetered bandwidth, additional storage, or fully-managed hosting will cost you additionally.

A dedicated server is worth it if your web services require a powerful hosting solution that can deliver high performance at all times.

If you‘ve been using a shared server and it cannot handle the incoming traffic and requests from your hosted services, it is worth upgrading to a dedicated server.

If you are a small business looking to publish your website or web service, you can start out with a cheap, or a managed dedicated server. As you grow and scale up, you might consider paying more for a standard dedicated server.

However, if you are a big business dealing with lots of customers, or you need to process large amounts of information, you‘d want to look into high performance or enterprise dedicated hosting servers.

The main difference between shared and dedicated hosting is the number of users on the server. A shared server is usually rented out to hundreds of users, while a dedicated server is rented out to only one user.

On a shared server, the computer resources are split between all its users, making for a slow hosting experience. But on a dedicated server, all computing resources are dedicated to you, offering you full performance from the hardware you are paying for.

Dedicated server hosting is offered by hosting providers. They have physical dedicated servers located in their data centers. When you rent a bare metal server, the hosting provider gives you access to one of the physical servers in their data center. You can then access your dedicated server over an internet connection.

Dedicated servers are used to run web hosting environments. In a hosting environment, you can deploy web services such as:

• Websites
• E-Commerce Platforms
• Video Streaming Solutions
• Online Education Platforms
• Online Banking Platforms
• SaaS Applications
• Data Backup & Redundancy Systems
• Internal Applications

It is better for most companies to rent a dedicated server and benefit from:

• Zero up-front fees
• Low monthly prices starting at $100
• Servers managed by the hosting provider
• Cancellation at any time

However, enterprises might consider buying a dedicated server if they have the resources, physical space for the server, and an IT team for managing the server.

It depends on the hosting provider whether you can get root access to your dedicated server. You will get root access to your dedicated server when you host with RedSwitches .
