How to Register Domain Names With Dedicated Web Server Hosting
Unlike shared Web hosting, dedicated hosting allows you to use all of the server's resources. The server's processor, space and memory are dedicated to your website(s) which can decrease the time it takes to access you website. If you choose an un-managed plan, you have the option to maintain the server yourself while managed Web server hosting offers the additional features while your hosting company will continue to maintain the server and its software.
