Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Dedicated Host?
A Dedicated Host is a physical server within a cloud provider's datacenter that is dedicated solely to your organization's use. This means you do not share the physical hardware with any other customers, providing enhanced security, compliance, and performance predictability.
Who should use Dedicated Hosts?
Dedicated Hosts are ideal for businesses with strict regulatory compliance requirements, those needing to meet data residency mandates, or organizations that require guaranteed performance isolation for their critical applications. This includes many in finance, healthcare, and government sectors.
