Dedicated Hosting Servers Explanation

Free and paid shared packages are among the most popular web hosting solutions on the market. They are great for small-size online portals that do not need lots of resources and do not receive that many website visitors, but for high resource-demanding web portals with many thousands of viewers, a more advanced solution is needed. If you would like to have a dependable, first-rate shared hosting solution that can deal with even 1 000 000's of everyday hits, a dedicated hosting is your finest alternative.

Tackle the Heavy Load Generated by Your Sites with a Dedicated Hosting Server

With the dedicated server hosting service, you rent a whole web server whose resources will be used solely by your websites. Just as any computer, each dedicated hosting server has one or more processors functioning at a particular speed, a particular amount of RAM, one or more hard drives, and so on. A server is indeed a computer with a hardware configuration designed to cope with intense load and specific software installed on it, such as web server software, PHP and MySQL software, and so on, which allows the sites hosted on it to be available on the World Wide Web.

Managed Dedicated Hosting Services

A dedicated hosting server can be managed either by the web hosting company, or by the customer, depending on the given dedicated hosting package. In either situation, the party administering the dedicated web hosting server has access to a software platform to restart it at any particular time. Administration is done via a web hosting Control Panel interface that allows you to keep an eye on the tasks running on the dedicated web server.

OSs for Dedicated Hosting

There are various hosting server OSs like Windows, FreeBSD, various Linux distributions, etc. Particular web hosting companies offer dedicated hosting using one particular Operating System, while others give customers an alternative. MSSQL databases and .NET web sites necessitate a Windows web server, for example, and will not perform on another Operating System, while PHP and HTML driven web sites utilizing MySQL databases will perform on any Operating System. Before leasing a dedicated hosting server, examine what the hosting supplier provides and what the needs of your site are.

Software Platforms for Dedicated Hosting

By default, each dedicated hosting server comes with all the software platforms needed to manage a site - web server software, database software (MySQL, MSSQL, PostgreSQL, etc.), PHP software, FTP server software and so on, so once you get the dedicated machine, you can upload your web site files and get the web site online. Most hosting companies give complete root-level access, in other words you can install any software platforms on the dedicated hosting server and alter any settings. Particular script-powered software platforms need server-side apps that should be pre-activated in order for them to work. Lots of e-commerce software scripts, for instance, have such a requirement, and being provided with root access to the dedicated hosting server is decisive for having a web shop. Other hosting providers do not grant complete server root access, but help the client install the necessary software - this is the so-called managed web hosting service, as differentiated from the unmanaged web hosting service, which offers full server root privileges.
