Dedicated Server Hosting

A dedicated server is a single-tenant physical server that is assigned to a single person or organization. InMotion Hosting dedicated servers have enterprise-grade hardware and software, high-bandwidth, and increased physical resources that outperform other web hosting products.

All of InMotion Hosting dedicated web servers come with higher RAM and faster CPUs compared to our Virtual Private Servers or Shared Hosting servers. Dedicated Server grade CPUs have more features and have higher frequencies to process more data. These servers possess more computing power and come with commercial-grade processors to handle larger workloads or data.

Server hosting is the paid use of offsite hardware and software resources (like RAM, CPU, and storage) to run daily business operations. Basically, you can use the server as you see fit for your business while we manage, update, and monitor the machine 24/7/365.

A dedicated server is a resource-rich machine that organizations with heavy traffic or multiple websites typically use. The dedicated server ensures end users have the best visit to your or your client’s website. With hyperfast load times, no downtime, and plenty of storage and memory available, your visitors enjoy fast website speeds. As your business grows, you also want to ensure your website has everything it needs to flourish, including memory, storage, and resources. Dedicated server hosting is ideal for rapidly growing companies with high-traffic websites. If you are looking for something smaller, try our Shared Hosting, WordPress, or VPS Hosting plans.

We offer both cPanel and Control Web Panel (CWP) for our dedicated servers, as well as unmanaged dedicated servers, often referred to as bare metal dedicated servers.

With a managed dedicated server (cPanel or CWP), we manage your server’s hardware, the pre-installed operating system (OS), and the architecture stack of your choice (such as LAMP). InMotion Hosting installs and maintains any updates or security patches, which come with a two-hour maximum hardware replacement guarantee.

A Bare Metal Server is perfect for those who would like to self-manage their server using root access and the command line.

InMotion Hosting has two types of dedicated hosting services, managed (a server with a cPanel or CWP addon) and unmanaged, better known as Bare Metal, with no control panel. With a managed dedicated server plan, you have all the resources of the machine managed by a team of in-house technical professionals. In contrast, an unmanaged server is ideal for advanced users such as system administrators, web developers, and IT administrators. Bare metal server users control their entire server via command line code and are responsible for maintaining their server operating system updates, security patches, and other complex tasks.

All our Managed Linux Dedicated Servers come with two optional control panels – cPanel or Control Web Panel. 

• cPanel is a server management control panel offering a full suite of powerful applications that help you manage a server. With cPanel, you can easily create email addresses, manage server updates, gain SSH access, install content management systems, and manage files on your server. To take full advantage of all options within WebHost Manager (WHM), simply request root access through the Account Management Panel (AMP) once your account is set up.
• Control Web Panel (CWP), formerly CentOS Web Panel, is a fully-featured web hosting control panel that ships with dozens of third party integrations so that you can quickly start managing your Linux cloud server.

A Premium Softaculous License is available for an additional monthly fee. With over 400+ one-click install applications, Softaculous conveniently automates open source web applications. Softaculous integrates seamlessly with cPanel and CWP. Easily create, launch, and manage a full library of scripts and server management tools from a central dashboard.

InMotion Hosting utilizes both Edge and Core routing to increase speed and redundancy. We use enterprise routers in all of our data centers and partner with Corero to defend against DDoS attacks that lead to unplanned server outages. We use multi-layer, high-performance switches. These switches layer several scripts and APIs to dynamically route traffic within the network based on demand, helping ensure you stay online. We also use dual high-performance fiber optic links from the ISP to the top of our racks. This provides lower latency and higher transfer rates. InMotion Hosting also provides extremely fast full duplex 1Gbps (1000Mbps) Ethernet uplink connections on all of our Dedicated Servers.

Our competitors post 100% uptime. We want to be honest with our customers by not rounding up to 100%. Our current uptime is 99.999%. We do this by making sure we have redundancies in the network and systems in place to prevent network errors or outages.

InMotion Hosting provides Dedicated Servers in our data center facilities situated in California and Virginia within the United States, along with a European data center located in Amsterdam, Netherlands.

Dedicated hosting services are best suited for businesses and websites that require a high level of performance, security, and control. Here are some specific scenarios where dedicated hosting might be necessary:

• High-Traffic Websites: Websites with large volumes of traffic often need dedicated resources to handle the demand without slowing down or crashing. Dedicated servers provide the necessary bandwidth and processing power to manage these high traffic levels efficiently.
• Resource-Intensive Applications: If your website runs complex applications, such as large databases, multimedia content, or extensive eCommerce platforms, dedicated hosting offers the robust architecture needed to run these applications smoothly.
• Enhanced Security Needs and Regulatory Compliance: For organizations handling sensitive data that may be governed by privacy regulations, such as medical records, financial information, or personal identification details, dedicated hosting offers enhanced security features. With a dedicated server, you have full control over the server configuration and security measures, reducing the risk of data breaches.
• Customizable Server Environment: Dedicated hosting allows full root access to the server, enabling customization of the hardware and software environment according to specific needs. This is particularly beneficial for businesses with unique requirements that cannot be met by standard hosting solutions.
• Stable and Predictable Performance: Unlike shared hosting, where server resources are divided among multiple users, a dedicated server allocates resources exclusively to your website. This exclusivity guarantees more stable and predictable performance, which is crucial for businesses that rely heavily on their online presence.

Companies that value reliability, high performance, and security for their business will find significant benefits in dedicated hosting services. If your business is growing and you notice that your current hosting solution is insufficient, it may be time to switch to a dedicated hosting service.

Hosted servers pool resources for use by several users or clients. On the other hand, dedicated servers reserve a full cache of resources for one individual or company. Not having to share resources provides your website with better connectivity, performance, and security. Businesses or individuals who constantly run resource-intensive applications may want to consider making the switch.

Your dedicated server’s specific hardware will depend on how you use it. No one configuration works the best, but there are a handful of attributes you must consider. Your server should have:

• A multi-core processor with enough cores and speed to accommodate how you operate your server. Shoot for a dual-core processor with a speed of 2GHz or faster.
• Enough RAM to run server applications. A minimum of 4GB is enough for business applications.
• At least 5GB of free disk storage space.

Companies that value reliability, high performance, and security for their business will find significant benefits in dedicated hosting services. If your business is growing and you notice that your current hosting solution is insufficient, it may be time to switch to a dedicated hosting service.
