A dedicated web hosting server is a server that is used by one, and only one, client. Usually the server is rented, or leased from a web hosting provider for a monthly fee. A dedicated server hosting solution is the fastest, most robust, secure hosting solution available.

Compared to shared or VPS hosting, performance is better because only one client uses the server. All the system resources are available for that owners website(s). There is no competition from other sites. There is also no possibility that one user can install a script or, due to weak security, allow his site to be hacked, which may affect security or reliability of another client's site. This is very important to large corporations where security and reliability are taken very seriously.

Dedicated Server Operating Systems

Usually, a client has options as to the operating system they have installed. There are free variations of open source projects Linux and Unix, such as CentOS, Fedora Core, Debian, FreeBSD, and more. In addition there are commercial operating systems including Red Hat (a version of Linux), and Microsoft Windows Server. The commercial software has licensing fees, while the open source software operating systems do not.

Dedicated Server Control Panels

A dedicated server is usually controlled through a control panel such as Plesk, or cPanel that allows the owner to control all aspects of his server. Most dedicated hosting providers offer various performance options for a monthly fee. The higher the performance you require, the more it costs. The client can buy a faster processer, more RAM, and larger/multiple hard drives, etc. The network can be configured with additional ports, more bandwidth, a hardware firewall, and other features that are not normally available with a shared or VPS service.
