dedicated server ??

[Alicia]

HI guys,

my company is thinking to get a dedicated server to manage all our web hosted files...

but before that, i really wish to know what is the advantage of having a dedicated server service from a host company rather than the normal hosting service ???

is that mean we can change like the php configuration and install files (like PEAR classes, SMARTY and etc) according to our needs ???

in my opinion, normal hosting doesn't make any much difference though right ??

please advise..

A dedicated server can be managed by the hosting company or by you - if it's by you I'd suggest that you know everything you need to for administration before going down this route - one mistake and your sites will come down.

Managed or not you should be able to edit the php.ini and add the modules/software you wish.
