What Do Dedicated Hosting Servers Represent?

Free and paid shared packages are among the most famous website hosting solutions on the marketplace. They are okay for small-sized web pages that do not necessitate lots of resources and do not have that many visitors, but for heavy resource-swallowing sites with many 1000's of viewers, a more powerful solution is needed. If you are seeking a solid, first-class web hosting solution that can deal with even millions of daily hits, a dedicated hosting is your most appropriate alternative.

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

With the dedicated web server hosting solution, you lease a whole server whose system resources will be utilized solely by your sites. Just like any PC, each dedicated hosting server has one or more CPUs functioning at a specific speed, a particular amount of memory, one or more hard disks, etc. A dedicated web hosting server is indeed a computer with hardware aimed to handle heavy load and specific software installed on it, such as web server software, PHP and MySQL software, and so on, which allows the web sites stored on it to be available online.

Managed Dedicated Hosting Services

A dedicated hosting server can be managed either by the web hosting supplier, or by the customer, on the basis of the specific dedicated hosting package. In either instance, the side handling the dedicated machine has access to a software tool to reboot it at any particular time. Administration is done via a hosting Control Panel GUI that permits you to monitor the processes running on the dedicated hosting server.

OSs for Dedicated Hosting

There are different server Operating Systems such as Windows, FreeBSD, an array of Linux distributions, etc. Certain hosting suppliers provide dedicated hosting running one particular OS, whereas others give clients an alternative. MSSQL databases and .NET web sites require a Windows server, for example, and will not run on a different Operating System, while PHP and HTML based web sites using MySQL databases will run on any OS. Before leasing a dedicated hosting server, check what the web hosting service provider provides and what the requirements of your web site are.

Software Apps for Dedicated Hosting

By default, each dedicated hosting server offers all the software apps required to manage a website - web server software, database software (MySQL, MSSQL, PostgreSQL, and so on), PHP software, FTP server software and so on, so the moment you obtain the server, you can upload your files and take the website online. Most web hosting suppliers grant full server root privileges, i.e. you can install any software on the dedicated hosting server and alter any settings. Some script-based software platforms require server-side applications that should be pre-activated in order for them to function. Lots of shopping cart scripts, for instance, have such a requirement, and being offered full root access to the dedicated hosting server is decisive for making an online shop. Other web hosting vendors do not offer root access, but help the customer install the required software apps - this is the so-called managed web hosting service, as differentiated from the unmanaged web hosting solution, which includes full root access.
