What is dedicated hosting?

A dedicated host has the service provider (data centre) set up a computer solely for that customer; it is not shared with other clients. A dedicated communications line or minimum bandwidth allotment may also be provided, subject to contract negotiation. Maintenance of this site is a subject of negotiation between the customer and the service provider. They may provide technical services, such as script writing, eMail maintenance or file backup. Generally, a contract is negotiated specifying the services you will receive and the fees involved. We can arrange dedicated hosting for a customer, but do not directly manage it ourselves. Expect to pay a few hundred dollars a month depending on the level of management you contract for and the hardware and software you want installed.
