Security

All the server’s physical resources—CPU, memory, storage—are exclusively dedicated to a single user. You’re not sharing anything with others.

Offers the highest level of performance, as there’s no resource-sharing. Ideal for high-traffic websites or demanding applications.

Full control over hardware and software configurations, making it highly customizable.

More expensive due to exclusive resource use, typically suited for businesses or projects with large budgets.

Solid security because the server is not shared with others, reducing vulnerability to neighbouring users’ issues.

A physical server is divided into multiple virtual servers, each acting as an independent environment. Resources like CPU, memory, and storage are shared but partitioned.

While better than shared hosting, performance may be affected if other virtual servers on the same physical machine consume excessive resources.

Offers a decent level of control and flexibility, but not as much as a Dedicated Server.

More affordable than a Dedicated Server, making it a popular choice for small to medium-sized businesses or personal projects.

Secure enough for most applications, but still at a slightly higher risk compared to a Dedicated Server, as it shares the physical machine with other users.

A single user—or organization—is given the use of a complete physical server. This hosting service is known as a Dedicated Server. The idea is that a Dedicated Server offers exclusive access to all its resources—such as CPU, RAM, storage, and bandwidth. Shared hosting lacks exclusivity, as multiple users must share resources.

A Virtual Private Server (VPS) is a virtualized environment hosted on a physical server. VPS solutions often come with guaranteed resources, but they rely on a shared infrastructure. This means performance can be affected by other users on the same node. To some extent, there is isolation with VPS, but disruptions or competition for resources—caused by sharing with multiple users—can occur.

If you'd prefer the safety and productivity that comes with 100% dedicated resources—a Dedicated Server is the best solution. Unlike a VPS, a Dedicated Server is entirely yours—no sharing, no neighbours, and no competition for the CPU, RAM, or bandwidth.

Exclusive access means you get far greater stability, reliability, and performance. A Dedicated Server is perfect for those with demanding workloads. High-traffic websites, complex applications, and enterprise-level hosting are all easier with the power of a Dedicated Server.

You can put your project or business in full control of hardware, availability, and security to make sure your requirements are met. A Dedicated Server is the ultimate hosting solution. It's tailor-made to your needs and will always be free from external interference.

Dedicated Server Hosting offers you far greater control over server configurations than shared hosting. The benefits are that when hosting websites, applications, or services you will have total command of the security of your data together with greater flexibility. To use a metaphor, imagine you have a single PC in an office on which everyone there has their own Windows account. A dedicated server means that you have a full PC all to yourself. This makes it ideal for high performance and strong security.

Dedicated Servers deliver reliability, security, and superior performance when compared to alternatives such as a Virtual Private Server (VPS). What makes Dedicated Servers so special is that they are built with enterprise-grade hardware. This means you get the computing power needed to support demanding workloads.

Dedicated Servers are the best choice for hosting applications and services. Here are just a few of the benefits:
Exclusive Use—No shared resources; you’re the sole tenant.
Scalability & Flexibility—Upgrade hardware as your needs evolve.
Hot-Swap Capabilities—Replace components without downtime.
Full Control—Configure and optimize the server environment to suit your needs.
Choice of Operating System—Install your preferred OS (Managed servers come with AlmaLinux 8).
Customizable Configurations—Choose from various hardware options to match your requirements.

A Dedicated Server guarantees the best performance, rock-solid stability, and reinforced security. For businesses that require uncompromised hosting power—a Dedicated Server is the ideal solution.

With HostPapa, you have a choice to either self-manage your Dedicated Server or acquire a managed service. HostPapa's Managed Dedicated Server service includes updating and patching the core operating system, backing up content and data on the server, installing SSL, and more. Dedicated Server Hosting includes a dedicated team of server admins, server setup, DNS setup, content migration, custom firewall rules, and more. For more details about this and other managed services, please click here.

Using Dedicated Server Hosting is no more complicated than using a shared hosting service. However, some previous experience in hosting will be helpful. Please remember that Dedicated Server Hosting puts you in full control of your server space. If you need more computing power together with flexibility—Dedicated Server Hosting is the next logical step.

HostPapa has been in the web hosting business since 2006 and has developed a solid reputation as a reliable hosting provider. We also have 24/7 support to help with any issues you may encounter along the way. Our experience, exemplary support, and proven reliable track record will all serve you well as a HostPapa Dedicated Server Hosting customer.
