What is Dedicated Web hosting?
Dedicated Web hosting gives you an opportunity to provide your presence in the Internet by means of placing your sites on the server which totally belongs to you and you don't have to share it with anybody else.

What is Co-location?
Co-location means placing client's physical server on the hoster's territory (Data Centre). The co-location can be provided in two ways. The basic co-location includes connecting user to high speed outside channels with high capacity. 24/7 technical support and bandwidth are also provided in basic co-location.
b>Adjacent co-location is a service of renting the server from the hosting company. In this case the server doesn't belong to the customer.

You receive deep access to your server so you could configure it and optimize in any way you want, install any software. In attempt to protect your information you can create specific directories accessible only to your employees or particular customers. Functionality
With dedicated web hosting you can customize the configurations and choose any CPU, RAM or anything you need. It reduces your dependence on the web hosting company.
Why Dedicated Web Hosting?
With dedicated web hosting you don't have to perform server maintenance as the hosting company will do it for you. You also receive more control and don't have to worry about some other user's bad script slowing or crashing the server. Visitors don't have to wait to view your web pages as the server responds to request for information only from your site. In this environment you have no bandwidth limitations or penalty.
