What is Dedicated Hosting?

Free and paid shared plans are one of the most widely used web hosting products on the marketplace. They are good for small-size web sites that do not request a lot of resources and do not draw that many visitors, but for heavy resource-consuming online portals with many thousands of viewers, a more advanced platform is demanded. If you are looking for a steady, hi-end hosting solution that can cope with even 1 000 000's of daily hits, a dedicated server is your most excellent choice.

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

With the dedicated service, you rent a whole server whose system resources will be used solely by your websites. Just like any computer, each dedicated server has one or more processors operating at a certain speed, some amount of RAM, one or more hard drives, etc. A dedicated server is actually a computer with hardware designed to handle high load and some software installed on it, such as web server software, PHP and MySQL software platforms, and so on, which allows the websites stored on it to be available on the World Wide Web.

Managed Dedicated Hosting Services

A dedicated server can be administered either by the web hosting corporation, or by the customer, based on the concrete dedicated server package. In either situation, the party managing the dedicated hosting server has access to a software platform to restart it at any given time. Administration is carried out through a web hosting CP interface that allows you to keep an eye on the services running on the physical machine.

OSs for Dedicated Servers

There are different hosting server Operating Systems like Windows, FreeBSD, a number of Linux distributions, and so on. Particular hosting vendors offer dedicated servers running one particular OS, whereas others give clients a choice. MSSQL databases and .NET websites require a Windows web server, for instance, and will not run on a different Operating System, while PHP and HTML based websites utilizing MySQL databases will perform on any OS. Before leasing a dedicated server, examine what the hosting corporation offers and what the necessities of your site are.

Software Apps for Dedicated Servers

By default, each dedicated server offers all the software platforms required to administer a site - a web server, database software (MySQL, MSSQL, PostgreSQL, etc.), PHP software, FTP server software and so on, so as soon as you get the hosting server, you can upload your website files and take the web site online. The majority of web hosting companies grant complete root access, i.e. you can activate any software on the dedicated server and alter any settings. Certain script-powered platforms need server-side libraries that should be pre-installed in order for them to work. Lots of shopping cart scripts, for example, involve such a requirement, and obtaining complete root-level access to the dedicated server is crucial for building a web store. Other web hosting corporations do not give root-level access, but help the client activate the required software applications - this is the so-called managed hosting service, as differentiated from the unmanaged hosting solution, which offers full root-level access.
