The most disconcerting factor of the Dedicated Server Hosting is the cost but alas, there are other disadvantages such as:

* Must depend on Web Host Provider
* If Data Transfer Allowance is exceeded, a financial Penalty is assessed.
* The Web Hosting Provider charges hefty monthly fees as you're 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 much more expensive. - The server is the property of the service provider,
which means all you own is the data you put on the server. Unlike co-location, you can not simply pick up your server and walk away if you're unhappy with the service.
