Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between web hosting and dedicated hosting?
Our dedicated servers are designed for businesses with significant in-house experience in administering their own server and who do not require a service level agreement (SLA).
With a dedicated server, you have the freedom to install and operate the server as you wish, but are also responsible for the management and day-to-day running (including patching, application installation, storage management and backups) of the server.
We look after the server hardware and network connectivity.
Regular web hosting differs in a few ways. With regular web hosting:
- Customers share a server (i.e. hard drive space, connection, CPU, memory etc.)
- Customers cannot administer the server themselves, install custom applications, or upgrade existing applications
Dedicated hosting is flexible so that you can tailor the server to your specific needs.
Why would I need dedicated hosting?
Dedicated hosting is useful if you need complete control over your hosting environment. If you need to install special applications, need full control over bandwidth and memory or have a high-traffic website, a dedicated server is for you.
What are some examples of the applications of dedicated hosting?
Dedicated servers can be used for gaming servers, database management, and traffic-intensive web sites.
