Frequently Asked Questions
What is a dedicated host?
A dedicated host is a physical server that is entirely dedicated to your use within a cloud provider's data center. This means you do not share the underlying hardware with any other customers, offering enhanced security, compliance, and performance predictability.
Who is this service for?
This service is designed for businesses that require dedicated hardware for compliance, security, or performance reasons. This includes organizations in regulated industries or those running mission-critical applications that cannot tolerate the variability of shared infrastructure.
How does this differ from a virtual machine?
A virtual machine runs on a physical server, which may be shared with other customers. A dedicated host is the physical server itself, which you exclusively occupy, and then you deploy your virtual machines onto that dedicated hardware.
