What is a dedicated server?
A dedicated server is exactly that, an entire web server built just for you. While most people are on what the industry calls “Shared Hosting”, a dedicated server isolates you from that shared environment in which you have neighboring sites. Dedicated servers have a great benefit in that it’s only your site(s) on the server, since you have no neighbors you may have greater stability. With shared hosting, you may run in to the occasional neighboring website that consumes too much CPU or generates so much traffic (or both) that it causes the entire server to slow down or crash completely affecting all the other sites hosted on the particular server.
The drawback for dedicated servers is that they do cost significantly more than a shared hosting plan. With a managed dedicated server you can expect to pay at least $70/month or more. Why so much? Well, the server parts themselves (you know: CPU, hard drives, RAM sticks, fans, motherboard, etc) cost money. It’s easily a couple thousand depending on the quality of hardware. Also you have to pay for power usage and the space at the datacenter your server is located in.
