Dedicated server

Short definition

Physical hardware exclusively rented to one customer — no virtualisation, no shared tenants, full hardware control.

A dedicated server is a physical machine rented exclusively to a single customer: full CPU cores (no shared hyperthreading), dedicated RAM, dedicated storage controllers, full IPMI / BMC access, and the ability to run any hypervisor or bare-metal OS the customer chooses. Pricing typically starts around $89-149 / mo and scales to $500+ / mo for enterprise hardware (dual-Xeon, 256+ GB RAM, RAID-10 NVMe arrays).

Dedicated servers make sense when: (a) workload exceeds the largest available VPS, (b) the customer needs full hardware control (e.g. for licensed software, specific kernel modules, hardware-passthrough), (c) the customer wants to run their own hypervisor and partition the box themselves, or (d) the customer wants no shared-tenant noise. Provisioning is slower than VPS — physical hardware allocation takes hours to days vs sub-minute for VPS.
