The extra functionality and control does come at a higher monetary costs - dedicated hosting solutions are more expensive than the virtual options. But they are providing you with a lot more in terms of resources. Most dedicated hosting packages will involve some sort of a setup fee as it is more time consuming to setup a complete server than it is to create a hosting account in a shared environment. Most dedicated packages will also require that you as a user (or someone on your staff) have the needed computer knowledge to manage the server on a day to day basis. This would include the ability to do remote problem solving, having knowledge of the operating system, protocols and the software installed on the computer. The hosting companies will replace any hardware componets if they develop problems but might not be willing to meddle with the server setup or the software if you have problems. Or they might have an hourly charge to fix these problems. This aspect is important as it could add unforseen costs to your budget.
