How Dedicated Hosting Servers Function

Free and paid shared plans are among the most commonly used hosting solutions on the marketplace. They are suitable for small-sized web sites that do not need a lot of resources and do not get that many visitors, but for busy web pages with many 1000's of web site visitors, a more advanced platform is required. If you want a solid, top-notch web hosting solution that can deal with even millions of everyday visits, a dedicated hosting is your most excellent option.

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

With the dedicated server web hosting solution, you rent a whole physical server whose resources will be used solely by your websites. Just as any computer, each dedicated hosting server has one or more processors running at a given speed, a specific amount of RAM, one or more hard drives, etc. A dedicated hosting server is actually a computer with hardware designed to tackle heavy load and given software activated on it, like web server software, PHP and MySQL software, and so on, which allows the sites accommodated on it to be visible on the web.

Managed Dedicated Hosting Solutions

A dedicated hosting server can be managed either by the web hosting distributor, or by the customer, based on the specific dedicated hosting plan. In either instance, the party managing the dedicated hosting server has access to a software tool to reboot it at any given moment. Management is carried out through a web hosting CP GUI that enables you to keep an eye on the processes running on the web server.

Operating Systems for Dedicated Hosting

There are various hosting server Operating Systems like Windows, FreeBSD, different Linux distributions, etc. Particular hosting companies provide dedicated hosting utilizing one particular Operating System, while others give customers an alternative. MSSQL databases and .NET web sites demand a Windows server, for example, and will not run on another OS, whereas PHP and HTML driven sites using MySQL databases will work on any Operating System. Prior to leasing a dedicated hosting server, discover what the hosting company provides and what the needs of your website are.

Software Applications for Dedicated Hosting

By default, each dedicated hosting server offers all the software applications needed to run a web site - web server software, database software (MySQL, MSSQL, PostgreSQL, and so on), PHP software, FTP server software and so on, so the moment you obtain the dedicated server, you can upload your website files and take the website online. The majority of hosting providers provide full server root privileges, in other words you can activate any software on the dedicated hosting server and alter any settings. Given script-powered platforms require server-side applications that should be pre-activated in order for them to operate. A lot of e-commerce scripts, for instance, impose such a requirement, and receiving root access to the dedicated hosting server is vital for building an online store. Other web hosting suppliers do not give full root access, but help the customer activate the required software apps - this is the so-called managed hosting solution, as distinguished from the unmanaged hosting solution, which offers root access.
