Dedicated Hosting Explanation

Free and paid shared packages are one of the most famous hosting products on the market. They are splendid for small-sized web sites that do not necessitate lots of resources and do not draw that many visitors, but for high resource-devouring web sites with many 1000's of web site visitors, a more advanced solution is demanded. If you need a powerful, top-class shared hosting solution that can handle even millions of daily hits, a dedicated server is your best option.

Tackle the Heavy Load Created by Your Sites with a Dedicated Server

With the dedicated server hosting solution, you lease a whole web hosting server whose resources will be used only by your sites. Just as any personal computer, each dedicated server has one or more processing units functioning at a specific speed, a particular amount of RAM memory, one or more hard drives, and so on. A dedicated hosting server is indeed a computer with a hardware configuration designed to handle high load and certain software activated on it, like a web server, PHP and MySQL software platforms, etc., which permits the sites hosted on it to be visible on the Internet.

Managed Dedicated Hosting Services

A dedicated server can be managed either by the web host, or by the customer, based on the specific dedicated server package. In either case, the party managing the dedicated web server has access to a software tool to restart it at any specific time. Administration is carried out through a Control Panel tool that enables you to keep track of the tasks running on the dedicated server.

OSs for Dedicated Servers

There are different web server OSs such as Windows, FreeBSD, an array of Linux distributions, etc. Particular web hosts provide dedicated servers using one particular OS, while others offer clients an option. MSSQL databases and .NET sites necessitate a Windows server, for instance, and will not function on another Operating System, whereas PHP and HTML driven web sites utilizing MySQL databases will function on any Operating System. Before renting a dedicated server, find out what the hosting corporation offers and what the needs of your site are.

Software Applications for Dedicated Servers

By default, each dedicated server offers all the software platforms required in order to manage a web site - web server software, database software (MySQL, MSSQL, PostgreSQL, and so on), PHP software, an FTP server and so on, so once you obtain the dedicated machine, you can upload your website files and get the website online. Most hosting vendors give root-level access, i.e. you can activate any software applications on the dedicated server and update any settings. Given script-powered software platforms require server-side applications that should be pre-activated in order for them to operate. Plenty of shopping cart software scripts, for example, have such a requirement, and gaining full server root access to the dedicated server is crucial for running an online shop. Other providers do not grant root privileges, but help the customer activate the required software apps - this is the so-called managed hosting solution, as compared to the unmanaged web hosting solution, which includes full server root privileges.
