What are some advantages of a dedicated server over shared hosting?  I know a dedicated server will end of costing a lot but is it really worth it to get a dedicated just for dedicated resources?  Why not just get a cloud server?

Hi!

As you already know that with dedicated server hosting, the use of resources is dedicated to a single customer. Whereas, the resources are shared in shared hosting. But this is not the only reason why you should go for dedicated servers. we have listed some reasons for choosing dedicated servers over shared hosting.


Performance

Dedicated servers offer far better performance than shared hosting. In the case of shared hosting, performance is dependent on other users as the resources are shared. If other user uses the majority of the resources, your performance is degraded considerably. However, in dedicated hosting, the resources are dedicated solely for your use.


Stability

As in dedicated hosting, you are using the server exclusively, the stability of the system depends on the tasks you are performing on the server. If you handle your server properly, the stability of your server will rarely degrade.
In the case of shared hosting, as all the users are using the server collectively, your stability depends on the other users as well. If due to some task performed by a user, the stability of a user degrades, the stability of the entire server degrades with it.


Security

Needless to say, dedicated servers are more secure than shared servers. When you use a dedicated server, the traffic incident on your server is related to your application. However, in the case of shared hosting, the traffic from all users are incident on your server. If the server crashes due to some dirty traffic, it will affect your performance as well.


Here are some of the reasons as to why you should choose dedicated server over cloud hosting 


Price

You could opt for a cloud server but cloud servers are much more expensive than dedicated servers. They charge on an hourly basis, whereas, dedicated hosting charges on a monthly basis. In that month, you can use the server 24*7.


Infrastructure

The key difference between cloud hosting and dedicated server hosting is that in dedicated server hosting you propose your server model to hosting providers and the server is designed as per your requirement. For instance, if you are looking for a database server that handles a certain amount of data, the server is designed with the relative amount of RAM, storage, processor etc. Generally, in cloud hosting, model and the user has to choose between different features to set up his own infrastructure. You should choose from multiple options to select the appropriate computing capacity, database, and storage among others.
