Dedicated hosting provides higher reliability, increased performance, greater security and exclusive use of system and network resources. Sites that have high traffic, secure information, a high number of visitors or complex applications are better suited for a dedicated server.

Dedicated server will allow you complete authority to control and administer your server, it gives you freedom to install scripts, softwares or applications that you want to use and it reduces your dependancy on the web host.
In case of managed dedicated hosting you need little or no technical skills as the system administration and maintenance is delegated to professional staff. Managed hosting not only benefits a client’s IT department, but brings time, cost, and resource savings to the whole company.

Good article which is totally focused on advantages or benefits of dedicated web hosting. If you could have given some facts (some may say disadvantages) about dedicated servers, it would have been appreciated by many. Presently this article looks little biased about dedicated hosting, may be because of the best performances of dedicated servers!

As nobody else has access to the server you can be sure of having a much greater degree of security. You can run your own custom firewall to enforce your own access control policy.
You have total control over your website and server. You may use as many resources as you require. No limitations as to the type or quantity of software you install.
