Virtual vs. Dedicated

When considering a hosted server, many client debate the choice between a "Virtual Dedicated Server" and a "Dedicated Server". At InnoTech, we offer both services, so we have outlined the advantages for each of these technologies below:

• Virtual servers are typically less then half the price of a dedicated server
• Dedicated servers offer complete control over the entire server
• With dedicated servers, no other clients or sites are hosted on the server -- it is entirely yours
• Dedicated servers are available with up to 8GB of RAM for very advanced processing needs
• Virtual servers and dedicated servers are hosted in the same world-class data center

About Virtual Dedicated Servers...
Virtual dedicated servers offer many of the capabilities and features of dedicated servers, including admin (root) access and dedicated IP addresses, but at a much lower price. However, as a virtual dedicated server is virtually dedicated, the customer in fact shares the server space with a small number of other customers. But because each virtual dedicated server is effectively isolated from other accounts on the server, the user has full control over their respective server space.

About Dedicated Servers...
Unlike normal hosting plans, which put many customers' accounts on a single server, a dedicated server is reserved exclusively for the account and usage of a single customer. This means that the dedicated server customer has exclusive rights to the server's bandwidth, memory and storage space; performance will not be affected by traffic and usage patterns of other customers.

When you purchase a dedicated server, you actually lease a server box, which will be configured and set up according to your preferences, but remains at our data center. A dedicated server account provides a dedicated IP address and full control of server usage and software installation, as you have admin (root) access to the server.

Dedicated servers are particularly useful for companies and individuals that run very-high-traffic Web sites or applications and thus need the bandwidth, versatility, and consistent performance of a dedicated box. This means that you can use the server for a wide variety of purposes, including gaming, database management, and traffic-intensive Web sites.
