Hello!
The most bad thing of the Dedicated Server Hosting is the cost but also there are some other disadvantages such as:
•The cost is normally much higher than shared hosting.
•The Web Hosting Provider charges hefty monthly cost as you are paying not just for the physical hosting, but also for the hardware on which the site resides. While in the short run this is cheaper than the large capital outlay required to get co-location up and running, over time this model is more expensive.
•The server is the property of the service provider, that means all you own is the data you put on the server.
•You cannot simply pick up your server and walk away if you are unhappy with the service.

Hello!
One of the largest disadvantages to utilizing a dedicated server is the cost. While most hosting packages that make use of shared servers are comparatively inexpensive, purchasing a hosting package that is not shared is very costly. As the expenses are not shared between several accounts, the price can be out of range for many start-up companies.

Hi,...

In spite of Dedicated servers are costly, they provides highest facilities over other hosting. So we can't consider as its disadvantage.

I completely agree with you @Crish Bronzs its true that dedicated hosting is little bit costly but it has more other advantages like you can easily place multiple domains and websites on the same server. This would enable you to use the resources of a single sever to accommodate several different websites and thus save yourself from the cost of purchasing hosting for each website that you want to host.Another benefit is that since all your websites would be hosted at a single server, management of those websites would become easier. so i think cost is not a big issue

A disadvantage that somehow confuses me is the monthly charge that you have to put with in exchange for your freedom and exclusive hosting.

@karlandrew

You are absolutely right here. Dedicated server offers an independence to use full resources of the server. Mostly people shout against dedicated hosting due the price tag, but those people are totally wrong. The single core processor dedicated server is well affordable for most of the entrepreneurs, however, all it depends on the client's hosting budget. In addition, user can also resale disk space and bandwidth to other users to maintain cost of the server.

Mostly people say, cost of a dedicated server is the biggest issue, but this not a true now, because new developments in the technology and web host's good SLA with Data Center service provider makes it affordable to lot of customers to buy dedicated server hosting plan pretty easily. I mean, if your business is booming and your website generates a good amount of revenues regularly, then cost of a classic web server is not too much.....

I found the disadvantages to be that its a stand alone server, that is if its crashes the application/ website ruinning on them would stop, and if its a mission critical app, that is required 24x7 then its a disaster
