Only a fraction of home users will ever need to use dedicated hosting.  The hosting service itself is not much different in terms of functionality to hosting options that are shared or virtualized.  The main difference is the amount of control allowed and the physical access to the server itself.  Dedicated servers make use of a variety of different things to keep them one of the best options available on the market for hosting solutions. 

Many solutions with this type of hosting can benefit from the following that is available with dedicated hosting:

Advantages of Dedicated Servers

Reliability - Dedicated servers are designed to work for a single website or group of websites that are placed on the server to have the largest amount of resources routed to them.  Dedicated servers will not have to deal with excess stress on the system, thus making the dedicated hosting more powerful for a single website or a group of websites.  This means less time down and more time running the important processes of the website without having to worry about other websites on the same server that are improperly coded or have scripts that can cause trouble for the individual hosting needs of the customer.

Speed - The use of a dedicated server will significantly increase the speed of the website(s) housed within it.  The performance of the server will also provide excellent hosting service to the websites and have fewer instances of downtime when managed correctly.

Full control - Those who choose dedicated hosting will have access to everything and this means full control of the server.  Full control really provides access to the inner workings of the hosting server and makes it possible to install custom security measures and more.  There is less concern with the server being used by unauthorized users and the accessibility to the website can be controlled via a control panel.

Software and Operating System - Dedicated hosting also allows for customers to have more control over their servers and allows complete access to what they can install and uninstall.  This also includes operating systems and software that is custom made or available commercially.  This is a great freedom that makes it possible to control how the server would run.

Those who do choose to use a dedicated hosting option will certainly have a large amount of control available with the service.  This makes the service very useful in a variety of ways.  The hosting is best suited for websites and software tools that need to have the most amounts of immediate control and access to a larger scale of resources.  These websites do benefit through the use of dedicated hosting services and are made possible by the dedicated hosting as well.
