Explanation of Dedicated Servers

Free and paid shared plans are one of the most popular hosting solutions on the marketplace. They are OK for small-size websites that do not demand plenty of resources and do not receive that many viewers, but for heavy resource-consuming online portals with many thousands of visitors, a more powerful solution is necessary. If you want a rock steady, cutting-edge hosting platform that can cope with even millions of daily visits, a dedicated server is your most appropriate alternative.

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

With the dedicated server web hosting service, you rent a whole physical machine whose resources will be used only by your websites. Just as any PC, each dedicated server has one or more processors functioning at a particular speed, a specific amount of RAM, one or more hard disks, etc. A web server is in fact a computer with hardware aimed to handle intense load and given software activated on it, such as web server software, PHP and MySQL software platforms, and so on, which permits the websites stored on it to be available online.

Managed Dedicated Hosting Solutions

A dedicated server can be administered either by the web hosting supplier, or by the client, depending on the concrete dedicated server package. In either situation, the side managing the physical server has access to a software platform to reboot it at any moment. Administration is done through a Control Panel interface that enables you to supervise the processes running on the dedicated hosting server.

Operating Systems for Dedicated Servers

There are different web hosting server Operating Systems such as Windows, FreeBSD, an array of Linux distributions, etc. Given web hosting firms provide dedicated servers running one given Operating System, whereas others offer customers an option. MSSQL databases and .NET websites require a Windows web server, for instance, and will not work on another Operating System, whereas PHP and HTML driven web sites using MySQL databases will work on any OS. Prior to renting a dedicated server, examine what the web host provides and what the necessities of your web site are.

Software Apps for Dedicated Servers

By default, each dedicated server comes with all the software apps required in order to manage a web 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 web hosting server, you can upload your web files and take the website online. The majority of hosting providers provide full server root access, in other words you can install any software applications on the dedicated server and change any settings. Certain script-driven platforms require server-side apps that should be pre-installed in order for them to perform. Plenty of e-commerce software scripts, for instance, include such a precondition, and receiving root-level access to the dedicated server is vital for running an online store. Other hosting vendors do not grant full server root access, but help the client install the required software apps - this is the so-called managed hosting solution, as differentiated from the unmanaged web hosting service, which includes complete root-level access.
