Dedicated servers

These are the type of servers where the type of ownership belongs to a single user or an organization and is not shared with any other user. There are several advantages to this setup, as follows:

  • We completely own the physical server and any further servers that we allocate will be provisioned on the same hardware
  • We might be billed more for this kind of setup
  • With Spectre and Meltdown, we are better protected as the hardware is not shared with anyone
  • We are not impacted by the neighbors as we completely own the hardware
