Full dedicated resources, just for your websites.

A dedicated server is a physical server leased to you and not shared with any other customers. You get full control over the server's configuration, full root access, and all of the server's resources for your websites and applications.

On shared hosting, you share a physical server with other customers, which is less expensive but limits performance. A dedicated server gives you the entire machine — far more power, control, and consistency — at a higher cost.

Reseller hosting lets you offer hosting under your own brand on a server shared with other resold accounts. A dedicated server gives you the entire physical machine for your own use, with no resource sharing.

A dedicated IP address is available upon request and can be assigned to your dedicated server at any time.

Yes. Dedicated servers are well suited for game server hosting — they deliver the raw CPU, RAM, and bandwidth needed for low-latency, high-player-count games.

Dedicated servers deliver increased performance, full root access, easy scalability, 100% renewable energy, redundant infrastructure, and centralized management — ideal for high-traffic websites, custom applications, and resource-intensive workloads.

Most WordPress sites run well on shared, VPS, or managed WordPress hosting. A dedicated server is the right fit when traffic, custom software, or security requirements outgrow those options.

It depends on how much traffic and resources each site consumes. Our dedicated servers comfortably host many websites; for very high-traffic sites you may want to dedicate the server to a single workload.

Each of our dedicated server tiers is designed to scale to customer needs. You can move up to a more powerful server, add resources, or expand storage as your workload grows.

Once your purchase is complete, your new GreenGeeks dedicated server is typically activated within 24 hours.

A dedicated server isn't strictly required, but it can deliver noticeably better performance for streaming workloads thanks to its reserved resources and bandwidth.
