Dedicated Hosting Service:
This Canhost option of dedicated web hosting for clients from Canada, the US and other global destinations, allows the user to rent one entire physical server from the Data Center and use the resources found there. These resources include a finite amount of memory, hard disk space and variable bandwidth options. The responsibility of server operation (for example, reboots and software) rests with the client. Business privacy and data protection control is therefore maintained by the renter.Dedicated Hosting Service Buy Now!
What is a Server:
A dedicated server is reserved exclusively for the account and usage of a single customer. This means that the dedicated server customer has exclusive rights to their server's bandwidth, memory and storage space, while performance is not affected by traffic and the usage patterns of other customers. Dedicated Hosting involves the actual leasing of a server box that is configured and set up according to your preferences, but remains at our data center. A dedicated server account provides you with a dedicated IP address and full control of server usage and software installation, with admin (root) access to the server.You can use a dedicated server for a wide variety of purposes, including gaming, database management, and traffic-intensive Web sites. Dedicated Servers are particularly useful for companies and individuals who run very high-traffic Web sites or applications, and who need the bandwidth, versatility and consistent performance of a dedicated box.Dedicated Hosting Service Buy Now!
