Dedicated hosting is a term used to describe web hosting packages that provide a dedicated server with dedicated resources to a single client. Dedicated hosting plans are ideal for WordPress websites with very large number of visitors. Many WordPress hosting service providers offer Dedicated Hosting plans along with shared and VPS hosting plans.

For example:

In a shared hosting plan, a client is sharing a computer with many other clients. In the case of a VPS hosting plan the clients are sharing a machine but not the resources with other clients on the same computer. However, on dedicated hosting plans a client leases a whole server with all of its resources.

Who Needs Dedicated Hosting:

Big business websites with higher traffic need dedicated hosting. E-commerce websites typically go with dedicated hosting considering the heavy amount of traffic that they have to deal with especially during sale times. If your website receives over 20,000 visits every month, you need dedicated hosting. With dedicated hosting comes the responsibility of managing the technical aspects of installations, updates, security, and configuration.
