What Precisely are Dedicated Servers?

Free and paid shared packages are among the most popular web hosting products on the marketplace. They are appropriate for small web portals that do not need lots of system resources and do not have that many website visitors, but for resource-swallowing websites with many thousands of visitors, a more powerful solution is demanded. If you require a stable, first-rate web hosting solution that can cope with even 1 000 000's of daily visits, a dedicated web hosting is your most suitable alternative.

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

With the dedicated server hosting solution, you lease a whole machine whose system resources will be used only by your websites. Just as any PC, each dedicated server has one or more CPUs functioning at a particular speed, a specific amount of memory, one or more hard drives, and so on. A web hosting server is actually a computer with hardware aimed to handle heavy load and some software activated on it, such as a web server, PHP and MySQL software platforms, and so on, which permits the websites stored on it to be reachable online.

Managed Dedicated Web Hosting Solutions

A dedicated server can be managed either by the web hosting provider, or by the customer, depending on the specific dedicated web hosting package. In either case, the side administering the machine has access to a software platform to reboot it at any particular time. Administration is carried out via a CP user interface that enables you to monitor the services running on the dedicated hosting server.

OSs for Dedicated Web Hosting

There are various web hosting server OSs such as Windows, FreeBSD, an array of Linux distributions, etc. Specific web hosts offer dedicated web hosting using one specific OS, while others offer customers a choice. MSSQL databases and .NET web sites need a Windows server, for instance, and will not perform on another Operating System, whereas PHP and HTML based web sites using MySQL databases will work on any Operating System. Before leasing a dedicated server, discover what the web hosting vendor provides and what the requirements of your website are.

Software Apps for Dedicated Web Hosting

By default, each dedicated server includes all the software applications needed in order to administer a site - a web server, database software (MySQL, MSSQL, PostgreSQL, etc.), PHP software, an FTP server and so on, so as soon as you get the hosting server, you can upload your files and get the web site online. Most web hosting suppliers provide full root privileges, i.e. you can activate any software on the dedicated server and revise any settings. Given script-based software platforms require server-side apps that should be pre-installed in order for them to perform. Different shopping cart software scripts, for instance, include such a precondition, and receiving full root access to the dedicated server is critical for making an online shop. Other hosting companies do not provide root-level access, but help the customer activate the required software - this is the so-called managed hosting solution, as compared to the unmanaged web hosting service, which includes full root access.
