What Indeed are Dedicated Hosting Servers?

Free and paid shared packages are among the most popular hosting products on the marketplace. They are suitable for small-size sites that do not require a lot of resources and do not receive that many visitors, but for heavy resource-swallowing web pages with many 1000's of website visitors, a more advanced platform is required. If you need an advanced, first-class web hosting platform that can handle even 1 000 000's of daily visits, a dedicated hosting is your best choice.

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

With the dedicated hosting solution, you lease an entire web hosting server whose resources will be utilized only by your websites. Just as any computer, each dedicated hosting server has one or more processing units running at a particular speed, a given amount of RAM, one or more hard disk drives, and so on. A web server is in fact a computer with a hardware configuration intended to handle high load and specific software installed on it, like web server software, PHP and MySQL software platforms, and so on, which allows the sites hosted on it to be accessible on the web.

Managed Dedicated Hosting Solutions

A dedicated hosting server can be administered either by the hosting provider, or by the client, depending on the specific dedicated hosting plan. In either case, the party handling the dedicated hosting server has access to a software tool to restart it at any particular time. Administration is done via a Control Panel user interface that enables you to monitor the tasks running on the web server.

Operating Systems for Dedicated Hosting

There are various server Operating Systems like Windows, FreeBSD, different Linux distributions, and so on. Given hosting companies provide dedicated hosting using one specific Operating System, while others offer clients a choice. MSSQL databases and .NET websites demand a Windows server, for instance, and will not function on a different OS, whereas PHP and HTML based web sites utilizing MySQL databases will function on any OS. Before leasing a dedicated hosting server, learn what the hosting firm offers and what the necessities of your site are.

Software Apps for Dedicated Hosting

By default, each dedicated hosting server comes with all the software applications required in order to run a web site - a web server, database software (MySQL, MSSQL, PostgreSQL, and so on), PHP software, an FTP server and so on, so the moment you get the web server, you can upload your web files and get the site online. The majority of web hosting suppliers give complete root access, i.e. you can activate any software applications on the dedicated hosting server and update any settings. Given script-powered platforms require server-side applications that should be pre-installed in order for them to run. Various e-commerce software scripts, for instance, involve such a precondition, and having root-level access to the dedicated hosting server is essential for having an online storefront. Other providers do not provide root-level access, but help the client install the required software - this is the so-called managed web hosting service, as differentiated from the unmanaged web hosting solution, which includes root privileges.
