What is a Dedicated Server?
A dedicated server is a physical hosting server exclusively assigned to one person or organization. VidoHost dedicated servers deliver enterprise-grade hardware, reliable software, high bandwidth, and powerful resources for demanding websites and applications.
Our dedicated servers provide more RAM and faster CPUs than shared hosting or Virtual Private Servers (VPS). With high-performance processors and dedicated computing power, your server can process data efficiently and handle demanding workloads as your business grows.

Configure your domains and subdomains, then update DNS records to point to your new server's IP address.

Test your website on the new server to verify SSL certificates, links, functionality, and loading speed before switching DNS.

Once everything is working correctly, update your DNS records and monitor the propagation process.
