It is a type of web hosting service provided by a web hosting company. In it a server and its resources are dedicated for the use of a single website. It ensures greater flexibility to manage the website by enabling full control over server configuration. It is one of the safest web hosting options with maximum level of privacy and control.

Since all the resources of a single server are at your disposal, dedicated web hosting ensures augmented performance with enhanced security and greater control over the server. It gives fast loading times and constant high uptime. Since the server is not shared with any other website, the performance of the website hosted on it is extremely stable. Despite being an expensive option it has the best price-to-performance ratio. It is one of the best hosting options for websites that experience a lot of traffic, have strict need for customization and security, large enterprise level organizations and business critical applications.

In VPS, multiple websites use the same server with each having a totally separate partition allocated on the shared server. It has a dedicated server space and a reserved amount of memory and resources. It is good for mid-size businesses where traffic is on the rise. The website using it doesn’t slow down when traffic increases on the other websites sharing the server. It ensures high customizability and easy scalability. It is cheaper than dedicated hosting.

In dedicated hosting one has access to all the resources of a single server without having to share these with any other website. It offers greater security than VPS hosting. It ensures greater flexibility to manage the website with full control over server configuration. Even the performance is better with a dedicated server.

A domain name is the name associated with a physical IP address on the Internet. Domain names are used in various networking contexts and for application-specific naming and addressing purposes. It’s a unique name that appears after the “@” sign in email addresses, and after “www.” when it comes to web addresses. Some examples of domain names are “yahoo.com” and “investopedia.com”. Anyone can purchase a domain name by contacting a domain host or registrar. The 1st step is to find a relevant name that no one else is using and then paying a small annual fee to own it. Using a domain name to identify a location on the Internet rather than using its numeric IP address makes it much easier to remember and type web addresses which in turn increases the reach of the website.

Subdomains are the part of a domain that come before the main domain name and domain extension. They can help you organize your website. It is used to logically separate a website into sections. Subdomains are used to create different language versions of a website. It is used to create a mobile version of a website as well as to set up a network of unrelated sites.
