Dedicated server hosting is seen as the most advance form of web hosting available as you are provided with certain web hosting features that aren’t available with the other main forms of web hosting. A dedicated server can provide you with your own dedicated web hosting environment isolated from anyone else through the means of a physical server; this in turn will allow you to make the most of the resources that you have purchased. If you have your own dedicated web hosting environment then you will be able to install any applications of your choice on your dedicated server, thus allowing you to make the most of your chosen web hosting service if you have decided to go for a Windows dedicated server then this can be done via Remote Desktop, whilst if you have a Linux distribution installed as your main operating system then the management of your dedicated server will be done via SSH. Dedicated server hosting can be rather expensive, but the cost of a dedicated server is usually offset by the benefits bought with it – the main thing to remember is that dedicated server hosting is aimed at medium to large sized businesses rather than smaller businesses and individuals.

Dedicated servers can be used for a number of different purposes depending on what your requirements may be. As you will be able to install any applications of your choice on your dedicated server, you can effectively use it for any purpose that you see fit; on the other hand you will need to be aware of your web hosting provider’s AUP (Acceptable Usage Policy) as breaching this would be a bad idea and you should never break the law by using pirate copies of specific applications. A dedicated server can be used in a multi-purpose configuration such as a LAMP (Linux, Apache, MySQL and PHP) configuration which would make a server function as a web server and database server or you can go for single-configuration setups where a dedicated server is designed for and only uses the applications for a single purpose. If you are a larger business and require performance as well as reliability then you can consider multiple dedicated servers in a cluster; this will allow you to distribute the tasks that you require of your servers meaning that these tasks will be completed more quickly.
