With this type of hosting, the hosting services provider partitions a part of their compute resource to be utilized exclusively by a single customer. This dedicated customer hosting account can be customized in terms of storage capacity, memory, and other performance characteristics. While this compute resource is dedicated to the customer, it is not owned by the customer and in that sense, remains a part of a much larger shared resource within the hosting services provider. For all practical purposes, the customer enjoys the privilege of a dedicated hosting server that meets their performance and cost expectations.
