Fully Managed Dedicated Server Hosting FAQs:
Who’s a good fit for GoDaddy Dedicated Server Hosting?
Agencies, system admins and developers with experience managing a server looking for powerful server capabilities (highly available server for critical uses), and requiring deep server access, complete control and flexible server configurations. Our Dedicated Server Hosting also provides powerful server options with isolated resources to securely run mission critical applications and applications where latency in processing time matters, as well as uptime.
What are bare metal servers?
GoDaddy Dedicated Server Hosting offers bare metal servers, a single-tenant physical server that is not shared between users, meaning there’s no virtualization technology built-in; the customer is the only one (i.e., “dedicated”) to that server. That allows the user deep-server access, complete control and state-of-the-art hardware/software and flexible server configurations — including SSD and HDD storage options for specific hosting needs.
What are the advantages of having dedicated server hosting?
Dedicated server hosting is used for applications that requires intensive workloads and large amounts of raw processing power, such as:
Big data
Machine learning
Live media streaming
Website and application hosting
Communication apps
Backups and storage
Infrastructure virtualization
Server clusters
Business applications (CRM, ERP, Data analytics software)
Online game hosting

What is PCI compliance?
The Payment Card Industry Data Security Standards (PCI-DSS or PCI for short) designates security standards to protect cardholders’ credit card data. That means, entities that store, process or transmit credit card information are expected to be compliant to the standards in the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standards.
How can I accept credit cards online?
Our hosting services are a great place to setup your online presence and product catalog. You can then work with a third-party provider to process payments on your behalf to keep credit cards off your server. If you would like to accept payments directly on your server, we offer PCI-certified products like our Managed WordPress Ecommerce Hosting and the GoDaddy Online Store. Whichever path you choose, make sure to be informed of additional requirements to keep your business PCI compliant.
What are the additional requirements I should know about?
We recommend you work with your payment provider (e.g., PayPal Checkout, Square Online Checkout and Stripe Checkout) to understand any additional requirements for which you are responsible. If you’re using one of our PCI-certified products, we have a simplified checklist for you here.
^ cPanel Fair Usage Policy: This policy is a guide to understand the intended uses of our Services, and to prevent exploitation and abuse of the unlimited features offered in our plans. VPS and dedicated hosting with cPanel offers unlimited number of accounts. Although we do not wish to set a specific limit, as a guideline, a threshold of 100 accounts will be considered normal, reasonable use. We evaluate your usage in comparison to typical levels of usage engaged in by other users. In the event that you exceed this threshold, GoDaddy may in its sole and absolute discretion, assess additional usage charges for accounts in excess of the threshold or restrict additional accounts from being created. Where possible, GoDaddy will provide a notice of your usage in excess of the normal use.
†† SSL certificate is free for one year with the purchase of any annual hosting plan. If you cancel the hosting product, you will lose the associated SSL certificate as well. After the initial year, SSL will automatically renew at the then-current price until canceled. You may cancel automatic renewal at any time in your GoDaddy account.

Let’s keep your website or app selling – and PCI-compliant.
The Payment Card Industry Security Standards Council (PCI-SSC) sets standards to protect credit card data. Namely, entities that transmit, process or store credit card information are expected to abide by the standards of the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standards. To accept credit card payments through your website, you’ll need to ensure your customer payment information is safe and that you’re following the PCI requirements. And to simplify this process, third-party products like PayPal Checkout, Square Online Checkout and Stripe Checkout can be added to your website to process payments on your behalf (and keep credit card data off your hosting server). Make sure you’re aware of any additional requirements to keep your business PCI compliant.
