Dedicated Web Hosting

In nearly all webhosting companies websites now days, you will see the two terms "Virtual Hosting" and "dedicated hosting". What is the difference between them? Now the pretty simple.

On a virtual server that you have your website on a computer (web server), based as it on other websites - anywhere up to 350 or more. This has several pages down, which is slower, less safe, and give less access to things on the server process, such as installing and updating the system software. On the positive side, however, that it is much cheaper than going to a dedicated server, and it is easier to handle.

On a dedicated server, you need the entire machine for themselves. This is fast, secure and you have complete control. You can install a program, what your heart desires and update programs as often as you want. This is a good choice for sites that many visitors to) a lot of system resources (using CGI scripts have to spend if you have very important data, or if you do not hold any special software on virtual servers. Unfortunately, for a decent dedicated server, prices start at around $ 300 per month - you can get it cheaper if you look around.

To summarize, you need a dedicated server if:

Your site gets as many hits Virtual Server account can not handle it.
You want many sites on a server host.
You do not have a feature offered on a virtual server.
They require a high degree of certainty.
