A dedicated web server is type of web hosting where the client leases or rent an entire server not shared with anyone. With a dedicated web server the client is at liberty to install whatever third party software they desire, which suits their requirements for doing their mission critical business. Dedicated web server clients do not share their resources, as those with shared web hosting packages do; but rather, are at liberty to use all the resources available to them. There are mainly two types of services provided by the dedicated server providers they are Managed dedicated servers and other is unmanaged dedicated servers.
A managed dedicated web server is generally more proactively monitored and maintained on the part of the dedicated web server service provider. When renting or leasing a managed server, the service provider or web host carries out the responsibility of third party software updates and patches, putting security measures in place, performing hardware replacements, and also monitoring the network and its connection for trouble.
An unmanaged dedicated web server leaves nearly all the management duties of running a server in the clients control. The customer in this case, updates third party software on their own, applies necessary patches, performs kernel compiles and operating system restores, installs software, and monitors security. With this type of dedicated web server, the consumer is responsible for regular operations and maintenance of the web server. The dedicated web server service provider monitors the network, repairs hardware problems, and troubleshoots connectivity issues.
