dJtl Posted December 1, 2007 Share Posted December 1, 2007 which is better about a dedicated server then a web host? dedicated servers are WAY more expensive, have less disk space, bandwidth, and MySQL databases (usually) and are not as easy to set up. So why would someone want one over a web host like hostmonster or siteground? Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/79714-i-dont-understand/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmgmyr Posted December 1, 2007 Share Posted December 1, 2007 cause you usually have full control over the dedicated server... Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/79714-i-dont-understand/#findComment-403668 Share on other sites More sharing options...
redbullmarky Posted December 1, 2007 Share Posted December 1, 2007 ...have less disk space, bandwidth, and MySQL databases (usually) and are not as easy to set up... quite the opposite - a dedicated server will normally give you much more space, etc than a shared service. also - a dedicated server is a complete machine just for your site(s), whereas shared hosting will cram many sites all on the same machine - meaning you all share the server's power, and run the risk of a dodgy script within someone's space bringing down the lot. and as Chris said - a dedicated server will let you install what you want. Tired of backwards hosts that just give you PHP 4 and Mysql 3.23 ? Tired of hosts that won't turn off register_globals or install xyz package? no worries! install your own! overall with a dedicated server, you're paying for the performance, stability, flexibility, (security?), etc. Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/79714-i-dont-understand/#findComment-403686 Share on other sites More sharing options...
