A dedicated web server
hosting involves the leasing of an entire server from a dedicated server
host company. The hosting company owns, maintains, and backs up the server
while providing all the security, power management, and other aspects
of maintaining a data center. The site developer is responsible for all
web server software issues.
The demand
for dedicated hosting arises out of the expansion of the site with web
developers often moving to more advanced technologies which require extensive
use of system resources and increased bandwidth to serve the technology
to a web browser. With this increased need for resources, having an entire
server for your site is often the answer. A dedicated web server is also an option for reseller hosting businesses.
A dedicated server is the best solution for traffic-heavy businesses who
lack the staff, resources, and security to build, install, and maintain
an in-house solution. With a dedicated server, leasing saves on network
administrator position for a company (Crowder & Crowder, 2001). A
dedicated hosting account is usually cheaper overall than an in-house
solution, and businesses can reap savings of up to 85% on a per month
basis (TopHosts' Guide, 2001).
Financially, a dedicated
server runs a few hundred dollars per month. Hosting companies often
offer packages based on server configuration (space, processor speed,
IP addresses, CPanel) and bandwidth allowances.
