Web Hosting or Dedicated Server

[swbabe08]

I been reading through the requirements, FAQs, etc. before I decide if I wanted to be hosted by HG and I wanted to know a couple of answers to questions.

I was reading through your Custom Installations Support Threads and I ran across something that made me question why would I need a dedicated server versus web hosting (any plan). Would I need a dedicated server if I wanted to install Wordpress or Coppermine? So, if that's the case, would I need hosting if I'm suppose to upload 'custom installations' on a dedicated server?

Unless I am getting some words and meanings mixed up. Thanks for the help!

Thanks for answering my question! I'll come back if I ever have any more pre-sign up questions.

Hi


Dedicated server, or managed hosting service is a type of Internet hosting in which the client leases an entire server not shared with anyone. This is more flexible than shared hosting, as organizations have full control over the server(s), including choice of operating system, hardware etc.
