Dedicated Hosting Servers Explained

Free and paid shared packages are one of the most popular website hosting products on the marketplace. They are perfect for small-sized websites that do not need a lot of system resources and do not receive that many web site visitors, but for large-scale websites with many thousands of visitors, a more powerful platform is necessary. If you would like to have a dependable, top-class web hosting platform that can deal with even millions of daily visits, a dedicated hosting is your best choice.

Tackle the Intense Load Caused by Your Websites with a Dedicated Hosting Server

With the dedicated solution, you lease a whole web server whose system resources will be utilized only by your sites. Just like any personal computer, each dedicated hosting server has one or more central processing units operating at a particular speed, a certain amount of RAM memory, one or more hard drives, etc. A web hosting server is in fact a computer with hardware designed to tackle intense load and certain software installed on it, such as a web server, PHP and MySQL software platforms, and so on, which permits the sites stored on it to be accessible online.

Managed Dedicated Hosting Solutions

A dedicated hosting server can be administered either by the hosting service provider, or by the customer, on the basis of the specific dedicated hosting plan. In either instance, the side managing the web server has access to a software tool to restart it at any specific moment. Administration is done through a hosting CP user interface that allows you to keep track of the processes running on the dedicated server.

OSs for Dedicated Hosting

There are different web server Operating Systems like Windows, FreeBSD, different Linux distributions, etc. Certain hosts provide dedicated hosting using one specific OS, while others give clients an option. MSSQL databases and .NET web sites demand a Windows web server, for instance, and will not operate on a different Operating System, while PHP and HTML driven websites using MySQL databases will function on any Operating System. Before leasing a dedicated hosting server, check what the web hosting supplier provides and what the needs of your web site are.

Software Apps for Dedicated Hosting

By default, each dedicated hosting server offers all the software platforms needed to manage a web site - a web server, database software (MySQL, MSSQL, PostgreSQL, and so on), PHP software, FTP server software and so on, so the moment you obtain the web server, you can upload your web site files and bring the website online. The majority of hosting firms offer root-level access, i.e. you can activate any software platforms on the dedicated hosting server and change any settings. Particular script-based platforms require server-side applications that should be pre-installed in order for them to function. Many e-commerce scripts, for example, impose such a requirement, and being provided with complete root access to the dedicated hosting server is critical for building an online shop. Other web hosting firms do not provide root access, but help the customer activate the required software apps - this is the so-called managed hosting service, as compared to the unmanaged hosting solution, which offers full server root privileges.
