Unlike shared hosting, a client is given complete control over their server environment and has access to their own individual resources. More expensive than shared, but you get more.
Dedicated Hosting - Unlike both VPS hosting and shared hosting, all resources and infrastructure – both virtual and physical – belong entirely to the owner either temporarily through a lease agreement or permanently through a purchase. This means that whoever operates a dedicated server essentially has full access to both the hardware and application infrastructure, and they’re the only ones who do. The most expensive for good reason.
