/* Dedicated Server */
===Dedicated Server===
For a [[Dedicated_Hosting | Dedicated Hosting]] system, the user can either run their own physical hardware or rent this hardware from a provider. The former solution offers total control of the physical hardware, however, there are significant downsides to this approach and should be avoided; it is only recommend under special circumstances such as [[Sensitive_Data | storing sensitive data]]. In the latter case, the hosting agent provides the hardware but the user has total control of the server via remote access. In this scenario, the provider is responsible for replacement of hardware parts that fail or malfunction - this support is generally done through a ticket system and relies on the user to report errors.
