What Precisely are Dedicated Hosting Servers?

Free and paid shared packages are one of the most popular hosting products on the market. They are okay for small-size web pages that do not request lots of resources and do not have that many viewers, but for resource-absorbing web pages with many 1000's of visitors, a more powerful solution is demanded. If you are searching for an advanced, top-notch web hosting platform that can tackle even millions of everyday visits, a dedicated hosting is your finest alternative.

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

With the dedicated server web hosting service, you lease a whole hosting server whose resources will be utilized solely by your sites. Just as any personal computer, each dedicated hosting server has one or more CPUs operating at a particular speed, a specific amount of memory, one or more hard disks, etc. A dedicated web hosting server is actually a computer with hardware designed to cope with heavy load and some software activated on it, such as a web server, PHP and MySQL software platforms, etc., which allows the websites hosted on it to be visible on the Internet.

Managed Dedicated Hosting Services

A dedicated hosting server can be managed either by the web hosting corporation, or by the client, based on the specific dedicated hosting package. In either situation, the party managing the server has access to a software platform to restart it at any specific time. Management is carried out via a CP graphical user interface that allows you to check the processes running on the dedicated web hosting server.

OSs for Dedicated Hosting

There are different web server OSs like Windows, FreeBSD, a number of Linux distributions, and so on. Certain web hosts provide dedicated hosting utilizing one given Operating System, whereas others offer clients a choice. MSSQL databases and .NET web sites need a Windows web server, for example, and will not work on another OS, while PHP and HTML based web sites utilizing MySQL databases will function on any Operating System. Before leasing a dedicated hosting server, check what the web hosting company offers and what the needs of your web site are.

Software Platforms for Dedicated Hosting

By default, each dedicated hosting server comes with all the software applications needed in order 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 get the web hosting server, you can upload your files and bring the site online. The majority of web hosting corporations provide complete root access, in other words you can install any software applications on the dedicated hosting server and update any settings. Some script-based software platforms need server-side apps that should be pre-installed in order for them to perform. Different e-commerce software scripts, for example, have such a precondition, and obtaining complete root access to the dedicated hosting server is decisive for kicking off an online storefront. Other web hosting providers do not grant full root privileges, but help the customer activate the required software applications - this is the so-called managed web hosting service, as distinguished from the unmanaged web hosting service, which includes root-level access.
