What Indeed is Dedicated Hosting?

Free and paid shared packages are among the most commonly used website hosting products on the marketplace. They are splendid for small web pages that do not necessitate plenty of resources and do not get that many website visitors, but for high resource-absorbing web portals with many 1000's of visitors, a more powerful platform is needed. If you are looking for a rock solid, hi-end hosting platform that can deal with even millions of daily hits, a dedicated server is your most suitable option.

Tackle the Heavy Load Created by Your Sites with a Dedicated Server

With the dedicated web hosting solution, you lease an entire hosting server whose resources will be used solely by your web sites. Just as any personal computer, each dedicated server has one or more central processing units operating at a certain speed, a given amount of RAM, one or more disk drives, and so on. A hosting server is actually a computer with a hardware configuration aimed to handle heavy load and specific software activated on it, like web server software, PHP and MySQL software platforms, and so on, which allows the websites accommodated on it to be accessible on the web.

Managed Dedicated Hosting Services

A dedicated server can be administered either by the hosting provider, or by the client, depending on the concrete dedicated server plan. In either situation, the party handling the server has access to a software tool to reboot it at any particular time. Management is done via a CP interface that enables you to keep track of the tasks running on the web hosting server.

OSs for Dedicated Servers

There are different web server Operating Systems such as Windows, FreeBSD, an array of Linux distributions, etc. Specific hosting companies provide dedicated servers using one particular Operating System, whereas others offer customers an alternative. MSSQL databases and .NET websites need a Windows server, for example, and will not function on a different OS, whereas PHP and HTML driven web sites utilizing MySQL databases will operate on any Operating System. Before renting a dedicated server, discover what the provider offers and what the necessities of your website are.

Software Applications for Dedicated Servers

By default, each dedicated server comes with all the software apps needed in order to manage a website - a web server, database software (MySQL, MSSQL, PostgreSQL, etc.), PHP software, FTP server software and so on, so the moment you obtain the server, you can upload your files and bring the website online. The majority of web hosting distributors provide full server root access, i.e. you can install any software on the dedicated server and alter any settings. Particular script-driven platforms need server-side libraries that should be pre-activated in order for them to work. Different e-commerce software scripts, for example, impose such a requirement, and being bestowed with root access to the dedicated server is essential for building a web store. Other hosting service providers do not offer complete server root access, but help the customer install the necessary software applications - this is the so-called managed hosting solution, as compared with the unmanaged hosting solution, which offers complete root-level access.
