What's a Virtual Dedicated Server? Virtual dedicated servers offer many of the capabilities and features of dedicated servers, including admin (root) access and dedicated IP addresses, but at a much lower price. The customer shares server space with a small number of other customers. But because each virtual dedicated server is effectively isolated from other accounts on the server, the user has full control over the server space.
What's a Dedicated Server? Unlike normal hosting plans, which put many customers' accounts on a single server, a dedicated server is reserved exclusively for the account and usage of a single customer. The dedicated server customer has exclusive rights to the server's bandwidth, memory and storage space; performance will not be affected by traffic and usage patterns of other customers.
Which Server Operating System is right for you? Your Web server operating system is not necessarily related to your own computer operating system. The difference is in how your web site is developed. If you are unsure which type of hosting server to choose, please contact our customer support team.
