There a lot of benefits that we can get from using the virtual servers compared with the dedicated servers or the shared hosting. Shared hosting is not that reliable since it can damage the entire hosted sites if ever only one server software is corrupted or maybe if one host site is corrupted. One good thing about this server is that it is a reasonable price when obtaining this because of the shared hardware resources.
A dedicated hosting service, dedicated server, or managed hosting service is a type of Internet hosting in which the client leases an entire server not shared with anyone. This is more flexible than shared hosting, as organizations have full control over the server(s), including choice of operating system, hardware, etc. Server administration can usually be provided by the hosting company as an add-on service. In some cases a dedicated server can offer less overhead and a larger return on investment. Dedicated servers are most often housed in data centers, similar to collocation facilities, providing redundant power sources and HVAC systems. In contrast to collocation, the server hardware is owned by the provider and in some cases they will provide support for your operating system or applications.

Hosting on a shared server is the most famous choice, and this is all because of the price. You can spend a little amount only every month and there are some hosts that even offer free web space on shared servers.
Virtual Dedicated – This is commonly known to be a virtual private server or VPS and this is the following step from a shared server. If we utilize the filing cabinet, it would be like the real cabinet with drawers inside it and every site needs to have a drawer. And since the resources are still shared, there is no more sharing the server and we can have a big control on the web space available on the server. The server is arranged in this way so that you will feel and look at like a dedicated server.

Hosting on a virtual dedicated server is very famous for busy web pages. It is very complicated to find the meaning of the word busy because this will depend on the type of services that you have but most of the owners of the sites will opt to have the updated virtual dedicated server once they know that the existing server has a lot of visitors already.

Dedicated Server – This dedicated server can actually have power all over the filing cabinet. This can’t be seen by other domain or web pages. Most of the time, when you will ask for a dedicated server, the web hosting provider will install and arrange your new server for about 1-3 days. Having this dedicated server is something like you are also benefiting from the entire server. Since you have a full control on this server and that means you can use it in any way, just be certain that you will avoid doing things that will violate the terms and conditions granted upon.

Hosting on a dedicated server is appropriate for every high traffic web pages. You can have a control towards the server and its resources and in fact, you can also demand for a new hard drives and memories as well as a fast processor.
Availability, price and employee familiarity often determines which operating systems are offered on dedicated servers. Variations of Linux and Unix (open source operating systems) are often included at no charge to the customer. Commercial operating systems include Microsoft Windows Server, provided through a special program called Microsoft SPLA. Red Hat Enterprise is a commercial version of Linux offered to hosting providers on a monthly fee basis. The monthly fee provides OS updates through the Red Hat Network using an application called yum. Other operating systems are available from the open source community at no charge. These include CentOS, Fedora Core, Debian, and many other Linux distributions or BSD systems FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD.
