A dedicated server is a physical machine leased to one user alone. Unlike a VPS, you get all CPU, RAM and disk resources of that server for yourself. For automated trading, a dedicated server offers the highest performance and customization: you can run many robots or complex strategies without sharing resources. Dedicated hosting also means full control of OS and hardware. These servers typically reside in data centers with redundant power and cooling, ensuring reliability. The trade-off is cost; dedicated servers are more expensive than VPS or shared options, but they eliminate the “noisy neighbor” problem and maximize execution speed.
