    Customization: Ability to tailor the server environment to meet specific needs and install any software you require.

    Security: Enhanced security due to isolation from other users.

    Cons:

    Technical Expertise Required: Managing a dedicated server requires a good understanding of server administration and maintenance.

    Higher Cost: Generally more expensive due to the dedicated resources and need for specialized skills.

    Maintenance Responsibility: You’re responsible for all server maintenance, updates, and troubleshooting unless you opt for a managed dedicated hosting service.

    Cons:

    Less Control: Limited ability to customize server settings and install non-WordPress software.

    Resource Limitations: While optimized for WordPress, resources are still shared among other managed WordPress sites, which might impact performance during peak times.
