Dedicated Server
In the web hosting business, a dedicated server refers to the exclusive use of a computer that includes a web server, related software, and connection to the Internet, housed in the ISP's data centre.
A dedicated server is usually needed for a website (or set of related company sites) that may develop a considerable amount of traffic. A dedicated server can usually be configured and operated remotely from the client company, giving the client exclusive use and command over your website’s server - unlike shared hosting.
