Dedicated servers – what it means

Right now, you may be sharing server space with several other organizations. However, your organization will have a remote server entirely dedicated to your uses with a dedicated server. It is exclusive, and you do not have to share it with anyone else.

A dedicated server is similar to an in-house server; however, a backend provider owns, operates, and manages the server. As a user, you connect remotely to the server over the internet and perform server-based operations as required.

You could use dedicated servers to host applications, services, internal file or network servers, or even data storage and backup.

• If you have security concerns hosting your website on a shared server
• Lets you have more control over your website
• Faster loading times.

Go ahead and try it out. Dedicated servers can only improve your site’s performance, and the price is well worth the result.
