Dedicated Server Hosting Description

Free and paid shared plans are one of the most widely used hosting products on the market. They are good for small-size web portals that do not demand lots of system resources and do not receive that many web site visitors, but for high resource-demanding web sites with many thousands of website visitors, a more powerful solution is necessary. If you want a dependable, avant-garde shared hosting platform that can tackle even millions of everyday hits, a dedicated server is your perfect alternative.

Tackle the Heavy Load Generated by Your Sites with a Dedicated Hosting Server

With the dedicated web server hosting service, you lease an entire web hosting server whose resources will be used only by your sites. Just like any PC, each dedicated hosting server has one or more central processing units functioning at a certain speed, a given amount of RAM memory, one or more hard drives, etc. A dedicated hosting server is indeed a computer with a hardware configuration intended to handle high load and specific software activated on it, such as a web server, PHP and MySQL software, etc., which allows the sites hosted on it to be visible online.

Managed Dedicated Servers Hosting Services

A dedicated hosting server can be managed either by the hosting vendor, or by the client, based on the concrete dedicated server plan. In either instance, the side handling the physical machine has access to a software platform to restart it at any particular time. Administration is carried out through a hosting CP tool that enables you to supervise the services running on the dedicated web hosting server.

Operating Systems for Dedicated Servers

There are various web hosting server OSs like Windows, FreeBSD, various Linux distributions, and so on. Specific hosting suppliers offer dedicated servers using one particular Operating System, whereas others give customers a choice. MSSQL databases and .NET sites need a Windows web server, for example, and will not function on another OS, whereas PHP and HTML based web sites utilizing MySQL databases will perform on any Operating System. Before leasing a dedicated hosting server, find out what the web hosting corporation offers and what the necessities of your site are.

Software Applications for Dedicated Servers

By default, each dedicated hosting server includes all the software applications required to administer a site - a web server, database software (MySQL, MSSQL, PostgreSQL, and so on), PHP software, FTP server software and so on, so the moment you get the dedicated web server, you can upload your website files and take the site online. Most hosting companies give full server root access, i.e. you can activate any software apps on the dedicated hosting server and update any settings. Some script-driven platforms require server-side libraries that should be pre-activated in order for them to operate. Many shopping cart software scripts, for instance, include such a requirement, and being bestowed with full root-level access to the dedicated hosting server is essential for kicking off an online store. Other hosting suppliers do not provide full server root privileges, but help the customer activate the needed software platforms - this is the so-called managed web hosting service, as differentiated from the unmanaged web hosting solution, which includes root access.
