Dedicated Hosting Revealed

Free and paid shared plans are among the most commonly used web hosting solutions on the market. They are okay for small-size web pages that do not request plenty of system resources and do not draw that many web site visitors, but for resource-demanding web pages with many 1000's of website visitors, a more advanced platform is needed. If you need a steady, first-class hosting solution that can deal with even 1 000 000's of everyday visits, a dedicated package is your perfect choice.

Tackle the Intense Load Generated by Your Sites with a Dedicated Server

With the dedicated hosting service, you rent a whole physical machine whose system resources will be utilized solely by your web sites. Just as any PC, each dedicated server has one or more CPUs running at a certain speed, a given amount of RAM memory, one or more hard drives, and so on. A dedicated web hosting server is actually a computer with a hardware configuration designed to handle heavy load and certain software activated on it, such as a web server, PHP and MySQL software, etc., which allows the sites hosted 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 client, depending on the particular dedicated package package. In either instance, the party handling the dedicated web server has access to a software tool to restart it at any particular moment. Management is carried out through a hosting Control Panel graphical interface that permits you to keep an eye on the tasks running on the web hosting server.

Operating Systems for Dedicated Packages

There are various web server OSs like Windows, FreeBSD, a variety of Linux distributions, etc. Some web hosting firms provide dedicated packages using one specific Operating System, while others give clients a choice. MSSQL databases and .NET sites demand a Windows web server, for instance, and will not work on a different Operating System, while PHP and HTML driven websites using MySQL databases will operate on any Operating System. Prior to leasing a dedicated server, check what the provider provides and what the requirements of your site are.

Software Apps for Dedicated Packages

By default, each dedicated server offers all the software apps needed in order to manage a web 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 server, you can upload your web site files and take the site online. Most web hosting providers offer full root-level access, i.e. you can install any software apps on the dedicated server and revise any settings. Specific script-based software platforms need server-side applications that should be pre-installed in order for them to operate. Various shopping cart scripts, for example, include such a precondition, and being granted full root access to the dedicated server is key for building a web shop. Other web hosting vendors do not offer full root privileges, but help the customer install the required software platforms - this is the so-called managed hosting service, as compared to the unmanaged web hosting service, which includes full server root privileges.
