• Dedicated Hosting: As explained in the previous entry, web hosting is a service wherein web host sells you server space. This space essentially assists with the endeavor of putting up a website on World Wide Web. Now when you lease out this space, you have the option of leasing out an entire server. In other words, dedicated hosting is a web hosting service plan, wherein, you pay monthly rent for a server, which is dedicated only to you. Thus, with this hosting plan, you buy unlimited flexibility. In this case, because you own the server, you decide everything with respect to the hardware, operating systems, etc. There is no need to adapt as per the whims and fancies of other websites which are sharing your server expense. This plan is naturally expensive than other alternates. You are individually availing all resources and thus you have to pay a higher usage amount. So when you discuss the dedicated hosting plan with your web host, make sure that you are clear upon your requirements. Perhaps, you might not require as many resources and thus there is no point shelving as many pounds.
