Dedicated servers have a reputation for being both secure and reliable due the many characteristics they possess. Dedicated servers are called dedicated because one server is used per client. This is important for security reasons because no data on the server can be viewed, altered or stolen by another client. This characteristic is important for reliability reasons because each dedicated server is allotted a specified amount of bandwidth, RAM and storage space. No other client can use any of the allotments from any server but their own.
