Dedicated web hosting

In dedicated web hosting one single web server is rented to a single customer.
Although this is the common belief, web-hosting providers usually divide a single web server computer between up to three customers.
On the other hand there are web-hosting providers that actually give an entire web server to a customer. Even with three customers sharing the web server, the dedicated web hosting option offers the customers the option to host more than one web site, configure the software to best meet the needs of his site or scale the available bandwidth.
The high prices combined with the availability of resources recommend this type of web hosting for highly important web sites such as e-commerce sites.
