Explanation of Dedicated Hosting

Free and paid shared packages are one of the most commonly used website hosting products on the market. They are perfect for small-size websites that do not need lots of resources and do not have that many visitors, but for resource-requiring web portals with many thousands of viewers, a more advanced platform is required. If you are seeking a stable, top-quality shared hosting solution that can cope with even 1 000 000's of daily visits, a dedicated server is your most suitable option.

Tackle the Intense Load Generated by Your Websites with a Dedicated Server

With the dedicated solution, you rent a whole server whose system resources will be utilized only by your sites. Just as any computer, each dedicated server has one or more microprocessors operating at a certain speed, a certain amount of memory, one or more hard disks, and so on. A hosting server is in fact a computer with a hardware configuration designed to tackle intense load and certain software activated on it, such as web server software, PHP and MySQL software, etc., which permits the web sites hosted on it to be available online.

Managed Dedicated Hosting Services

A dedicated server can be administered either by the web host, or by the customer, depending on the given dedicated server package. In either instance, the party managing the dedicated web server has access to a software tool to restart it at any given moment. Management is carried out through a hosting CP tool that allows you to supervise the processes running on the dedicated machine.

OSs for Dedicated Servers

There are various server OSs such as Windows, FreeBSD, a number of Linux distributions, etc. Specific hosting suppliers offer dedicated servers running one given Operating System, while others offer clients an option. MSSQL databases and .NET web sites require a Windows server, for instance, and will not perform on a different OS, whereas PHP and HTML driven websites utilizing MySQL databases will operate on any OS. Before leasing a dedicated server, learn what the hosting distributor offers and what the requirements of your website are.

Software Applications for Dedicated Servers

By default, each dedicated server comes with all the software needed in order to administer a site - a web server, database software (MySQL, MSSQL, PostgreSQL, and so on), PHP software, an FTP server and so on, so the moment you obtain the dedicated machine, you can upload your web files and get the website online. Most hosting suppliers provide full server root access, in other words you can activate any software on the dedicated server and alter any settings. Specific script-based software platforms need server-side applications that should be pre-installed in order for them to perform. Different shopping cart software scripts, for instance, include such a precondition, and being given full root access to the dedicated server is crucial for kicking off an online shop. Other web hosting firms do not provide complete root-level access, but help the client activate the necessary software applications - this is the so-called managed hosting solution, as compared to the unmanaged hosting service, which includes complete server root access.
