Question 1

Why is a dedicated server more secure?

Accepted Answer

Clients with a dedicated server have a fully configurable isolated environment without a worry about noisy neighbors or other customer security risks. You can also add additional security measures like hardware firewalls and intrusion detection and prevention systems to a dedicated server to provide even greater security and peace of mind.

Question 2

Is running a dedicated server safe?

Accepted Answer

A dedicated server is entirely configurable, making it one of the most secure hosting options on the market. Keeping your system up to date and installing patches on time will keep your dedicated server safe.

Question 3

Are dedicated servers more secure?

Accepted Answer

Shared hosting and virtual private server hosting share environments with other clients, presenting more attack surfaces to be concerned about. Dedicated servers are fully isolated environments.

Question 4

How do I secure my dedicated server?

Accepted Answer

Besides HTTPS encryption and adopting complex passwords, two-factor authentication and access restriction policies can help you secure your dedicated server. In addition, you can use a virtual private network (VPN), hardware firewall, and an intrusion detection system.

Also, keep your software up to date and install patches on time. Finally, if you require locked cages or access logging for HIPAA-compliant hosting, you should check physical security measures with their hosting provider.

Question 5

Can I get a fully managed dedicated server?

Accepted Answer

Yes. At Liquid Web, we offer managed dedicated server plans for CentOS, Linux, and Microsoft Windows operating systems.
