Dedicated Servers
When you choose a hosting company to host your website, the hosting company will offer you different types of servers. There is the shared servers, the virtual server and the dedicated server, these are just three of the most popular types of servers. If you are going to have a huge website that draws a lot of traffic and you are holding a lot of content then a dedicated server is what you need.
If you are going to have a website with only a page or two then you will be overpaying for a server. When you chose a dedicated server is will be a little more than a shared server but you get the benefit of having your own server. There are no other sites on these servers they are just you and as many sites as you wish to put on them.
Dedicated Servers have a better uptime guarantee than a shared server does. When there are too many site son a server it is going to slow down the connection time and when users of one of your websites wants to log on and it takes minutes rather than seconds to load the site the user will not stay. You will start to lose traffic. All web hosting companies offer the webmaster a choice in servers. Do some research and see if the dedicated server is right for you.
You want to get what you pay for and if you don't have the need for a huge server stick to the shared server. But if you r site is small to start with and you are going to continue to build it then by all means get the server that will work for you. You have to consider the present as well as the future when choosing a server
