Benefits of Dedicated server:

1. No constraint on resources:

As we have discussed the main reason behind choosing the dedicated server is the resource constraint. The shared hosting is basically the divide and use strategy where resources are divided and shared among the users that’s why when there is need to upgrade the resources then it becomes difficult to do so.

While talking about VPS (Virtual Private Servers) here the user will get virtual server in the form of virtually dedicated resources. The main point to be consider here is that the resources are not physically dedicated resources, still we can say that we can have dedicated resources allotted for us which will be beneficial for us. The main point of discussion regarding disadvantage of VPS is that sometime the hosting provider can oversell the resources thinking in mind that there is very less possibility of all the customers using their fully allotted resources but a serious problem will arise if all the users want to access the services at the same time. This will cause performance issue that will affect all other VPS on a server.

It is a standalone physical where resources are not shared In dedicated server the user will get resources that are fully and physically allotted to that user. There is no any virtual sharing of resources thus will get full control of resources and can use the server at its full capacity.

2. Full customization:

The server customization includes multiple configuration settings. It mostly consists of some of the following configurations

• E-mail server configuration (SMTP, POP, IMAP)
• Web server configuration (Apache, Nginx, IIS etc.)
• DNS configuration
• SSH Shell configuration
• FTP
• Backup Software Configuration
• DDoS protection configuration

When we go for dedicated server it gives us the flexibility to customize all the available configuration as per the requirement. There is no any limitation nor any restriction on setting the server as per user’s demand.

• E-mail server configuration (SMTP, POP, IMAP):

The main purpose behind purchasing dedicated server is for business management and e-mail marketing is the biggest reason behind it. Thus, to drive email campaign successfully one must configure SMTP server. Therefore, here we will be concentrating our discussion to SMTP server. Its simply a computer running SMTP protocol. SMTP stands for Simple Mail Transfer Protocol.

The common email provider cannot be able to send bulk email messages or they put the restriction on maximum number of emails to be sent per day. Also, there may be possibility that the message can be rejected by antispam filters or ISP by considering it as spam message.

• Web server configuration (Apache, Nginx, IIS etc.)

Dedicated servers are mostly used to host high-traffic websites, web applications, e-commerce etc. thus it’s very important to use web server. It is commonly used to store, process and deliver web pages to the client. Some of the web servers’ settings are only possible with dedicated servers.

• DNS configuration

DNS servers are the contact books of internet i.e. they translate IP address to domain names. There are multiple options are available to choose from. Some of the famous DNS servers are

• BIND

• Dnsmasq
• Erl-DNS

With dedicated server you are free to choose which server we want to use as a DNS server. A lot of different settings have to be carried out while maintaining DNS servers which is possible easily by using dedicated server.

• SSH Shell configuration

SSH stands for Secure Socket Shell, SSH is a tool for remote login of your server. Dedicated servers are having provision to configure SSH services as per our requirement such as if we want to change the defaults port for SSH then we can change it from the sshd config file and so on

• FTP server configuration
