Dedicated server

From Pulsed Media Wiki

Dedicated Servers

A dedicated server is a physical server rented entirely by one user or organization. Unlike shared hosting or VPS (Virtual Private Server), no other customers share the server’s resources (CPU, RAM, storage, bandwidth), giving you full control, high performance, and enhanced security.

This makes dedicated servers ideal for demanding applications where performance, stability, and control are crucial—such as large websites, streaming platforms, AI workloads, or complex databases.

Key Advantages

Full Resource Access: 100% of the server’s resources are yours, ensuring consistent performance.

Maximum Control: You have admin (root) access to install and configure anything as needed.

Better Security: No shared environment means reduced risk from other users.

Customizability: Tailor the OS, software stack, and security settings to your needs.

Scalability (to a point): Servers can often be upgraded with more RAM, storage, etc.


Main Disadvantages

Higher Cost: More expensive than shared or VPS hosting.

Requires Technical Skill: Managing a server demands system administration knowledge.

Responsibility: You handle software updates, monitoring, and troubleshooting (unless you choose a managed plan).

Single Point of Failure: If the hardware fails, your services go offline (unless redundancy is set up).

Common Use Cases

Dedicated servers are used for:

High-traffic websites and e-commerce platforms

Video streaming and media servers

Game servers (e.g. Minecraft, CS:GO)

AI and machine learning model training

Big data and analytics

Hosting many websites or reselling hosting

Applications requiring strict data compliance and isolation

Choosing a Dedicated Server

When selecting a server, consider:

Performance Needs: Prioritize CPU, RAM, disk speed (SSD vs HDD), or bandwidth based on your workload.

Budget: Prices range from budget-friendly to enterprise-grade.

Management Level: Choose unmanaged if you have technical expertise, or managed if you want the host to handle setup, updates, and security.

Provider Reputation: Look for good uptime, support, and infrastructure.

Managing a Dedicated Server

Managing involves setting up the OS, installing software, securing the server, monitoring resources, applying updates, and creating backups. Unmanaged plans require hands-on technical skills; managed plans offload these tasks to the hosting provider.

Why Dedicated Servers Are Still Popular

Despite the rise of cloud hosting, dedicated servers remain popular for their raw performance, reliability, and total control. They’re often more cost-effective for sustained heavy workloads and are trusted by businesses, developers, and advanced users alike.
