lasurplus.govdeals.com Web Server Report: Dedicated or Shared Server Hosting?

  What's a Dedicated Server? A dedicated server is a type of web hosting where the client leases an entire server, thus taking full advantage of its resources. There are two types of dedicated servers: managed dedicated servers and unmanaged dedicated servers. A managed server means the webhosting company performs all maintenance, installs, security and updates on the Linux or Windows machine, whereas the unmanaged server usually means the hosting company will not perform any maintenance or security. Take Google for example: all their servers are owned fully managed by their staff, and they obviously don't have any server shared with third parties.

  What's a Shared Server? As opposed to a dedicated server, a shared server usually has many websites hosted on it. Each of these sites has a separate account/partition on the server itself, but the web server's resources are divided and used by all the sited hosted on it.
