What is a dedicated server?



Dedicated servers, also referred to as bare-metal, emphasize the physical availability of the server's hardware resources, in contrast to services based on virtual instances.

A dedicated server provides optimal performance for all your applications because they enjoy the dedicated resources. As you get exclusive access to it, you have complete control over the server. Therefore, you can tailor it to fit your business, change server configurations, install new software, and even add a higher level of security if needed.

What is the difference between bare metal hosting and SSD dedicated hosting?



The major difference is that Bare Metal servers do not have RAID redundancy, while SSD dedicated servers do. In other words, there is a high risk of data loss when the C drivers of Bare Metal go wrong. Therefore, Bare Metal is mainly for product/project developments or businesses that are not data sensitive. For those who want to take advantage of the Bare Metal hosting price and use it for their data-sensitive businesses, please back up the data as often as possible to your local disk.

What is the difference between bare metal server and virtual server?



A virtual server is a hosting service that uses virtualization technology to provide clients with dedicated resources on a single physical server. One physical server hosts multiple virtual servers, each isolated from the others. Virtual servers are the more common cloud computing model because they offer great resource density, fast provisioning times, and the ability to scale up and down quickly.

A bare-metal server is a physical hosting device dedicated to a single client (tenant) only. Bare metal servers are the right fit for a few primary use cases that take advantage of the combination of attributes. These attributes are dedicated resources, greater processing power, and more consistent disk and network I/O performance.
