Question 1

Why choose a Dedicated Server?

Accepted Answer

When you want complete control, security, and high performance a Dedicated Server is the solution you want to go for. While the network may be shared, you’ll have complete control over the processing and storage with your own Dedicated Server environment.

Question 2

What does a Dedicated Server actually mean?

Accepted Answer

A Dedicated Server is open to a few meanings. The most common is that it’s a dedicated physical server for you to run your computing on. However, it is used interchangeably with just an environment that is dedicated to you with semi-dedicated resources such as a virtualised private Dedicated Server.

Question 3

What is a bare metal server?

Accepted Answer

The everyday person definition is it’s the physical server that goes into the rack at the data centre. They call it a bare metal server because it’s a rectangle piece of metal and quite bare. There are only a few things at the back and the front and the rest is bare. The back has all the inputs for network, power, etc. And the front has lights, USB, power on and off.

Question 4

How much do Dedicated Servers cost?

Accepted Answer

It can cost from $50 per month up to thousands. This is inclusive of the power and the hardware (CPU, memory, storage space) and internet connection data. Software licenses are considered add-ons as open-source operating system users shouldn’t have to pay a premium for a Windows license that they don’t use. So these are all extra depending on what you need.

Question 5

What is the difference between a Dedicated Server and a Cloud Server?

Accepted Answer

In terms of availability, a Cloud Server is better than a Dedicated Server because it runs on many Dedicated Servers, not just one. However, in terms of performance and security, a Dedicated Server outperforms a Cloud Server. It usually will have more resources available as it doesn’t use virtualisation. Security will be better as you don’t have any neighbours who may increase your exposure and risk.
