The advantages and uses of dedicated servers

The choice between dedicated, VPS, and shared hosting determines your success. Stop guessing and start building your competitive advantage. Identify your next strategic move. Download the guide now.

Inside, you'll learn exactly how dedicated servers deliver:

Unmatched performance and speed

Exclusive access to all server resources (CPU, memory, and bandwidth) to eliminate the "noisy neighbor" effect, ensuring a reliable, consistent user experience even during large traffic spikes. This is critical for high-traffic sites, ecommerce stores, and high-demand applications.

Maximum security and compliance

Gain the physical isolation and full control necessary to implement customized security measures, including a dedicated IP address, which is a necessity for handling sensitive data and meeting the strictest compliance standards (like PCI and HIPAA).

Total control and customization

Full root/admin access allows you to customize the OS, software, hardware, and core services for your specific workload—a freedom unavailable on shared hosting.

Scalable storage and predictable costs

Easily increase storage capacity with multiple drives for site data, backups, and archiving, which is more cost-effective than adding cloud storage on a per-gigabyte basis for growing needs.

Dedicated server FAQ

A dedicated server is a physical machine or system exclusively dedicated to a single individual, organization, or application.

Unlike shared servers, dedicated servers provide exclusive access to all of the physical server’s resources, including processing power, memory, and storage. This maximizes performance, security, and control.

Learn more: What is a dedicated server?

At Liquid Web, there is no difference. While some competitors use the term “dedicated” loosely—sometimes referring to multi-tenant environments where resources are shared—Liquid Web’s dedicated servers are always single-tenant, bare metal hardware.

This means you get complete access to 100% of the server resources, providing you with maximum performance, full control, enhanced security, and superior reliability.

Dedicated server hosting is the management of hardware resources by a hosting provider to ensure that content—such as websites, emails, and media files—can be accessed and used by people online.

The hosting provider is responsible for keeping the server running and connected to the Internet, so requests and content can be communicated to and from end-user computers.
