What Does Dedicated Hosting Signify?

Free and paid shared plans are one of the most widespread website hosting solutions on the market. They are appropriate for small-scale web sites that do not require a lot of resources and do not draw that many web site visitors, but for high resource-demanding sites with many thousands of visitors, a more advanced solution is required. If you demand an advanced, first-class shared hosting solution that can handle even 1 000 000's of daily hits, a dedicated server is your most excellent option.

Handle the High Load Generated by Your Web Sites with a Dedicated Server

With the dedicated server web hosting service, you lease an entire hosting server whose resources will be used solely by your websites. Just like any personal computer, each dedicated server has one or more central processing units running at a given speed, a given amount of RAM, one or more hard drives, and so on. A web server is indeed a computer with a hardware configuration designed to cope with high load and specific software installed on it, like a web server, PHP and MySQL software, and so on, which permits the websites accommodated on it to be reachable on the Internet.

Managed Dedicated Hosting Services

A dedicated server can be administered either by the hosting supplier, or by the customer, depending on the given dedicated server package. In either case, the side administering the machine has access to a software tool to reboot it at any specific moment. Management is done through a web hosting CP tool that permits you to monitor the tasks running on the web server.

Operating Systems for Dedicated Servers

There are various web server OSs such as Windows, FreeBSD, a variety of Linux distributions, and so on. Specific hosting firms provide dedicated servers running one particular Operating System, while others offer clients an alternative. MSSQL databases and .NET websites request a Windows web server, for example, and will not run on a different OS, while PHP and HTML driven websites using MySQL databases will work on any OS. Prior to renting a dedicated server, discover what the hosting service provider provides and what the necessities of your web site are.

Software Apps for Dedicated Servers

By default, each dedicated server offers all the software apps required in order to administer a site - a web server, database software (MySQL, MSSQL, PostgreSQL, and so on), PHP software, an FTP server and so on, so as soon as you obtain the dedicated web hosting server, you can upload your web files and get the site online. Most web hosting providers give root access, i.e. you can install any software apps on the dedicated server and alter any settings. Given script-driven platforms need server-side applications that should be pre-activated in order for them to run. Plenty of shopping cart scripts, for instance, have such a requirement, and receiving root access to the dedicated server is critical for kicking off an online store. Other web hosting providers do not grant full server root privileges, but help the customer activate the required software apps - this is the so-called managed web hosting solution, as differentiated from the unmanaged web hosting service, which comes with full server root privileges.
