Our journey through dedicated server history began in the early 2000s when dedicated hosting technology became a regular part of the hosting industry. Before dedicated servers, all of the hosted websites and Internet-connected networks in the world ran on shared servers. This technology eventually gave way to virtualized servers, also known as VPS Hosting.
Since then, a lot has changed. But some organizations still prefer the guaranteed resources and single-tenant hardware a dedicated server provides. Having guaranteed resources can dramatically improve website performance and speed. Dedicated servers also provide better control and security by providing a dedicated environment tailored to your business needs.
