Bluehost: Dedicated Server Overview

A Dedicated Server is a physical server that is entirely reserved for a single user, organization, or application. Unlike shared hosting or VPS (Virtual Private Server), where resources are divided among multiple users, a dedicated server provides exclusive access to all its resources—including CPU, RAM, storage, and bandwidth.
