Dedicated server is one in which the individual or the organization leases the server which is not shared by anyone. Thus you can say that the organization has the server in its control. The LINUX dedicated server is also becoming very popular these days. The servers that can be installed with Linux distribution are:
- Gentoo Linux
- Ubuntu
- Fedora core
- Debian
- Slack ware and
- Arch Linux
There are lots of advantages to use the Linux server. You can run anything on your server and also install any software. Managed hosting is also a dedicated hosting with no hassles. A managed dedicated server helps to improve the productivity by reducing the time that takes to manage the server. It is more flexible since it is not shared by any other organization. There are different managed hosting plans. Some of them are:
- File and data back ups
- Pro active support
- Security and management firewall
The other type of the web hosting plan is the virtual private server hosting also referred as VPS hosting. It is usually preferred by small as well as medium sized business organizations. This is because it is a dedicated server and the price is also quite affordable for small business organizations. This hosting has become popular because of the limitations of shared hosting and the flexibility of dedicated server hosting. VPS hosting has virtualization software that allows a single server to form multiple servers in it. VPS hosting is becoming popular because the control level is similar to a dedicated server while the price is similar to a shared hosting.
