If you run a high-profile, mission-critical website, performance and reliability are simply essential. For instance, your site may contain an e-commerce component, which your customers need to be available around the clock. Your site may also have large numbers of visitors, perhaps wanting to download the same video file simultaneously – this would require a server with plenty of processing power and memory, as well as a high bandwidth quota.
For such scenarios a standard shared server package would not be the most suited. Far more preferable would be a “dedicated” server solution.
A dedicated server is a computer server which is set aside entirely for your IT needs, usually the hosting of one or more websites. This is a high-end solution more usually suited to enterprise-class, or mission critical websites. However, the benefits greatly justify any additional costs.
First and foremost, your site will not be sharing disk space, and resources, with other sites (the more popular hosting arrangement). This means the site being able to draw fully upon all the server has to offer, in terms of responsiveness, memory, and bandwidth. In the real world, this means that your site could sustain thousands of simultaneous visitors without hitting performance problems.
