Dedicated servers are a single computer fully devoted to the needs of one customer. They allow for faster access to information and provide the customer with greater flexibility to add advanced database and e-commerce applications. As the customer does not share RAM, disk space or a connection to the router, dedicated servers provide customers with the most advanced Web hosting solutions.

Intended Clients and Uses Dedicated servers are designed for mid to advanced-level hosting needs such as "mission critical" and high-traffic sites. The servers can handle heavy data-driven sites, advanced e-commerce programs, video streaming, and multimedia programs.

Server Response Time Dedicated server response time depends solely on the volume of activity on the customer's Web site.

Flexibility and Scalability All aspects of the platform (disk space, memory, etc.) are upgradeable since dedicated servers are single client machines.

Software Unlimited ability to download software programs to your server.

Advanced technical knowledge is recommended-experienced programming and database capabilities.

Dedicated servers provide high levels of security, connectivity and scalability, to support high volume and mission critical Web-based applications
