A dedicated server is a type of hosting where a client rents an entire server that is not shared with anyone else. This provides the client with full control over the server, including the choice of operating system, hardware, and configuration.

• Performance: Dedicated resources mean high performance and reliability.
• Security: Increased security as the server is not shared with other clients.
• Customization: Full control over server settings, hardware, and software.
• Scalability: Easy to upgrade resources as needed.

Dedicated servers are ideal for businesses or individuals with high-traffic websites, large-scale applications, or those requiring extensive resources and high security. They are also suitable for hosting multiple websites or resource-intensive applications like databases and large-scale eCommerce sites

Dedicated servers can be managed by the user or by the hosting provider. Self-managed servers require technical expertise to handle server setup, maintenance, security, and updates. Managed services are available where the hosting provider takes care of these tasks, allowing users to focus on their core business activities.

• Resources: A dedicated server provides all resources to a single client, while a VPS (Virtual Private Server) divides resources among multiple clients on the same physical server.
• Performance: Dedicated servers offer higher performance as resources are not shared.
• Cost: Dedicated servers are generally more expensive than VPS due to the exclusive use of resources.
• Customization: Both offer customization, but dedicated servers provide more control over hardware and configuration.
