<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">Thus, we can define a <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Dedicated Server</b> as a single computer connected to a network that is dedicated to serving the network’s needs. As a broad term, it refers to the exclusive configuration and use of a computer on a network. The most common uses for a dedicated server are: web-hosting, development, staging, email/mail server, print server, data backup/remote backup, files serving, gaming, and much more.</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"><br />
A dedicated server can take many forms. From hardware, operating system, web services, and internet connections, a dedicated system can be configured to meet a user’s needs. From individual<br />
gamers to small businesses to giant corporations, all rely on usage of a dedicated server. Most people today rely on hosting services to provide server resources and management. </div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"><br />
When searching Wikipedia for “dedicated server”, you are forwarded to an article about <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">dedicated hosting service</i>. It explains that “dedicated hosting service, dedicated server, or managed hosting<br />
service is a type of <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Internet hosting</i> in which the client leases an entire server not shared with anyone.” The article then continues to explain how dedicated servers are housed in data centers and colocation facilities. Then it lightly touches on topics such as Operating system support, bandwidth and connectivity, management, security and software.</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"><br />
Internet hoisting service, according to Wikipedia, is explained as “a service that runs Internet servers,<br />
allowing organizations and individuals to server content to the Internet.” Hosting comes in many forms: Dedicated hosting service [aka managed hosting service] in which a hosting provider owns<br />
and manages the server and leases full control to the user. Virtual private server is where virtualization technology is used to allow many “virtual servers” to run on a single machine. Colocation facilities offer an internet connection, uninterrupted power and climate control, but the client does his own administration. Cloud hosting, is provided to users by allowing allocated resources on a “cloud computer”. Other forms of hosting include Web hosting,<br />
Email hosting, DNS hosting, Wiki farms, and game servers.</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"><br />
