Difference between shared and dedicated Server

[MarcS]

A Shared server is the right choice for those website owners who don’t have many technical skills to manage and control everything. With Shared hosting, you have limited administrative access and can’t customize software configuration.


A Dedicated server is the right choice for those who have a technical background and can manage/configure the server on their own. Root access, provided with a dedicated server, is a massive benefit if you need to make some server modifications.

Many business owners are still unclear whether to use the shared hosting server or not. And moreover, there are numerous benefits while using dedicated server but these benefits come with a huge cost.

It is necessary to understand when to use the dedicated server and shared server so that you will be getting the right type of hosting services for your website.Dedicated servers will cost you more as the web hosting service provider will be giving you the complete server.

Dedicated servers need a special maintenance from the service provider and moreover, this kind of servers are well suitable for huge websites or websites with huge traffic. If you are running a small website, then it is not required to opt for a dedicated server, as the shared server is sufficient.

A shared server is a type of server where your website is hosted along with so many other websites. The amount of disk space and bandwidth allotted for your website on a shared server is restricted because your website is sharing a server with several other websites. You can exceed the amount of space by upgrading your existing plan.

On the other hand, a dedicated server is a type of server, where your website leases an entire server for an exclusive use of the user, this means that the server is solely leased to your website and it has full control over it. Here, the disk space and bandwidth dedicate to your website only and there is no sharing and even no restrictions on the amount of space available on a server.

A dedicated server hosting plan means that your website is the only site hosted on the server. With shared hosting, the amount of disk space and bandwidth you are allotted is limited because there are others sharing the server.

This is in contrast to shared hosting, in which a server acts as a host to multiple clients.

Shared hosting is the basic type of hosting service that comes with the affordable price because the resources of the server will be shared in between the multiple clients and there is a limitation on the usage of resources, no root access will be provided for the clients.

A dedicated server comes with the physical server and full root access. It is expensive because the dedicated server is dedicated to the single user where the resource of the server will not be shared.
