Dedicated servers
With dedicating hosting your website is hosted on a dedicated server which is not shared.
There are two types of dedicated servers – Unmanaged and Managed.
Dedicated Servers - Unmanaged
When shared web hosting does not give you the features that you require like enough bandwidth, storage, extra emails etc., a dedicated hosting solution may be what you need. With a dedicated server there are no limits on the number of databases and email aliases you can create. Your bandwidth is much greater providing 500-1000GB bandwidth per month. If extra storage is needed, you can simply order a new hard drive for your server.
However, you must be aware of the intricacies related to dedicated serves to have one. To become a skilled server administrator requires a great deal of training and computing know how. You can learn server administration on your own if you lack the funds, but if you can spare the extra amount of cash, then managed dedicated hosting may be a better solution.
Dedicated Servers - Managed
Managed dedicated serves though expensive are optimal for people unhappy with shared hosting services, with people unable to set up their own web servers or when they find it difficult to customize to their specific needs. In such an event, you may need help to get your server box up and running as well as support if something goes wrong. The solution for you then is a managed dedicated solution provider. Managed hosting is a very specialized market, with a wide range of prices that depend on how much security, reliability, and the level of support you require.
