Dedicated Web Hosting Defined

Free and paid shared packages are one of the most widespread website hosting products on the marketplace. They are OK for small online portals that do not request a lot of resources and do not get that many website visitors, but for high resource-swallowing sites with many thousands of visitors, a more powerful solution is demanded. If you require a solid, top-quality web hosting platform that can deal with even 1 000 000's of everyday visits, a dedicated web hosting is your finest option.

Handle the Heavy Load Generated by Your Sites with a Dedicated Server

With the dedicated server hosting service, you rent a whole web hosting server whose resources will be used solely by your sites. Just like any computer, each dedicated server has one or more processors running at a certain speed, a given amount of memory, one or more hard disk drives, etc. A dedicated server is in fact a computer with a hardware configuration meant to tackle high load and specific software activated on it, such as a web server, PHP and MySQL software platforms, and so on, which allows the sites accommodated on it to be reachable on the Internet.

Managed Dedicated Web Hosting Services

A dedicated server can be administered either by the web hosting distributor, or by the client, based on the given dedicated web hosting plan. In either case, the side administering the machine has access to a software platform to reboot it at any time. Administration is done via a hosting CP graphical interface that allows you to keep an eye on the tasks running on the machine.

Operating Systems for Dedicated Web Hosting

There are different web hosting server Operating Systems such as Windows, FreeBSD, various Linux distributions, and so on. Given web hosting service providers offer dedicated web hosting running one given OS, while others give customers an option. MSSQL databases and .NET websites request a Windows web server, for example, and will not run on a different Operating System, while PHP and HTML driven web sites utilizing MySQL databases will perform on any Operating System. Before leasing a dedicated server, check what the web hosting firm offers and what the necessities of your site are.

Software Applications for Dedicated Web Hosting

By default, each dedicated server comes with all the software applications required to run a website - a web server, database software (MySQL, MSSQL, PostgreSQL, etc.), PHP software, an FTP server and so on, so as soon as you obtain the web server, you can upload your web site files and get the site online. The majority of hosts offer complete root-level access, i.e. you can activate any software platforms on the dedicated server and update any settings. Particular script-powered software platforms need server-side applications that should be pre-activated in order for them to work. A lot of e-commerce scripts, for example, have such a requirement, and getting complete root access to the dedicated server is decisive for setting up an online storefront. Other hosts do not offer full root privileges, but help the customer activate the required software - this is the so-called managed hosting solution, as differentiated from the unmanaged hosting solution, which offers complete server root access.
