Dedicated web hosting, dedicated server, or managed hosting service is a type of Internet
hosting in which the client leases an entire server not shared with anyone. This is more
flexible than shared hosting, as organizations have full control over the server(s), including
choice of operating system, hardware, etc. Server administration can usually be provided
by the hosting company as an add-on service. In some cases a dedicated server can offer
less overhead and a larger return on investment. Dedicated servers are most often housed in
data centers, similar to colocation facilities, providing redundant power sources and HVAC
systems. In contrast to colocation, the dedicated web hosting hardware is owned by the provider
and in some cases they will provide support for your operating system or applications.
