The majority of webmasters purchase the very basic package in a web hosting service. Shared web hosting, reseller web hosting, and virtual private server web hosting plans are all offered with less features on the spectrum of web hosting.  What they have in common is that they are all sharing the resources of a single server.  A web host incurs certain costs of buying the hardware and maintaining the hardware on a network.

With dedicated server web hosting, a server is basically rented to a single user.  Since the cost of the hardware and the maintenance of the server is passed on to one customer the price of a dedicated server platform is much more expensive than the shared ones. But if your website is big and generates heavy traffic, it is very critical to go for a dedicated server plan because of the following reasons:

• Loading speed
• Bandwidth

Obviously, you can not expect to see a fast connection on a shared plan while your site is being hit by many. Shared servers also don’t want to be bombed just for your site either as it would slow down the connection to other websites. For a similar reason, you would want to make sure you get enough bandwidth for each month, especially if you want to offer free downloads on your site.
While a dedicated server solution is typically not for a novice and is more complex, it is not necessary to have system administration knowledge to benefit from a dedicated server platform. Many companies offer managed dedicated server platforms. Other dedicated server platforms may come with the operating system and hosting management software installed for the user.

It all depends on how heavy your website generates traffic, but if you have many visitors, the maintenance is a serious job. It IS a dedicated task. You would not want your site to be down even for a few minuets.
