Dedicated server hosting is used for applications that requires intensive workloads and large amounts of raw processing power, such as live media streaming, infrastructure virtualization, high traffic website and application hosting or online game hosting. A dedicated server also means that your business or organization is the only user connected to the server. Conversely, shared hosting means that other users will share the server with you in order to save costs. It’s also important to consider bandwidth and disk space, as you will have less to work with on a shared server, while managed dedicated servers give you resources that are entirely your own.
