Web Hosting FAQ - Dedicated Hosting

What is dedicated hosting? How should I decide which type of dedicated hosting for my business? Shared or Dedicated? Which should you choose?   What is dedicated hosting? Dedicated hosting is a form of Web hosting where the hosting provider dedicates a single machine for a customer’s website(s). Dedicated hosting divides into two categories: managed dedicated and unmanaged dedicated. Managed hosting is a dedicated server that is accompanied by a full suite of technical support, maintenance and monitoring services. This differs from unmanaged dedicated web hosting, where customers are provided with their own servers but are still responsible for virtually all administrative and maintenance duties. How should I decide which type of dedicated hosting for my business? To understand the two types of dedicated hosting, please refer to the first question for details. If you're unsure about the server configuration, we recommend you to choose a managed server. Going with the managed server is more expensive but is much more reassuring for the inexperienced administrator. Remember, you can always downgrade your account to an unmanaged service later once you've acquired some expertise in server administration. Though once you opt for the personal attention you will receive through a managed host, you might think twice of turning into an unmanaged service later on. CI host is managed dedicated hosting by default and all other hosts on our list are unmanaged type. Shared or Dedicated? Which should you choose?
