Dedicated Hosting Revealed

Free and paid shared plans are one of the most widespread website hosting solutions on the marketplace. They are great for small-size web pages that do not necessitate a lot of resources and do not have that many visitors, but for heavy resource-consuming web sites with many 1000's of viewers, a more advanced platform is necessary. If you would like to have a robust, top-class hosting platform that can cope with even millions of daily hits, a dedicated server is your most excellent alternative.

Handle the Intense Load Created by Your Sites with a Dedicated Server

With the dedicated web hosting solution, you rent a whole machine whose resources will be used solely by your sites. Just like any computer, each dedicated server has one or more processing units running at a particular speed, a particular amount of RAM, one or more disk drives, etc. A dedicated server is indeed a computer with a hardware configuration designed to cope with heavy load and some software installed on it, like a web server, PHP and MySQL software platforms, and so on, which permits the websites hosted on it to be available on the Internet.

Managed Dedicated Hosting Solutions

A dedicated server can be administered either by the hosting supplier, or by the client, depending on the specific dedicated server plan. In either case, the party handling the dedicated web hosting server has access to a software tool to reboot it at any particular time. Management is carried out via a hosting CP graphical user interface that allows you to check the services running on the machine.

OSs for Dedicated Servers

There are various web server Operating Systems such as Windows, FreeBSD, a variety of Linux distributions, etc. Some hosting suppliers provide dedicated servers running one specific Operating System, whereas others give clients a choice. MSSQL databases and .NET sites need a Windows server, for instance, and will not run on a different Operating System, whereas PHP and HTML driven web sites using MySQL databases will perform on any Operating System. Before leasing a dedicated server, learn what the web hosting supplier provides and what the requirements of your website are.

Software Apps for Dedicated Servers

By default, each dedicated server offers all the software required to run a website - web server software, database software (MySQL, MSSQL, PostgreSQL, and so on), PHP software, FTP server software and so on, so once you obtain the server, you can upload your web files and take the site online. Most hosts grant full server root access, i.e. you can activate any software on the dedicated server and change any settings. Particular script-powered platforms need server-side applications that should be pre-activated in order for them to run. Lots of shopping cart scripts, for instance, have such a requirement, and being granted full root-level access to the dedicated server is vital for administering a web storefront. Other web hosting vendors do not offer root-level access, but help the client install the required software applications - this is the so-called managed hosting service, as differentiated from the unmanaged web hosting solution, which includes root privileges.
