Dedicated Web Hosting Defined

Free and paid shared packages are among the most famous web hosting solutions on the market. They are great for small-scale online portals that do not necessitate lots of system resources and do not get that many visitors, but for content-heavy web pages with many 1000's of website visitors, a more advanced platform is demanded. If you need a dependable, top-notch web hosting platform that can cope with even 1 000 000's of everyday visits, a dedicated web hosting is your most appropriate choice.

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

With the dedicated web server hosting service, you lease a whole web hosting server whose system resources will be used solely by your websites. Just as any personal computer, each dedicated server has one or more central processing units functioning at a certain speed, some amount of memory, one or more disk drives, etc. A dedicated server is in fact a computer with a hardware configuration meant to handle intense load and specific software installed on it, such as a web server, PHP and MySQL software, etc., which permits the sites stored on it to be available on the Internet.

Managed Dedicated Web Hosting Solutions

A dedicated server can be administered either by the hosting firm, or by the client, on the basis of the specific dedicated web hosting package. In either case, the side managing the physical machine has access to a software platform to restart it at any specific moment. Management is carried out via a CP GUI that enables you to check the tasks running on the physical machine.

Operating Systems for Dedicated Web Hosting

There are various web server OSs like Windows, FreeBSD, a variety of Linux distributions, etc. Some hosting firms provide dedicated web hosting utilizing one particular OS, while others give customers an alternative. MSSQL databases and .NET websites necessitate a Windows server, for example, and will not perform on another Operating System, whereas PHP and HTML based web sites using MySQL databases will run on any Operating System. Before renting a dedicated server, learn what the web hosting vendor offers and what the necessities of your website are.

Software Platforms for Dedicated Web Hosting

By default, each dedicated server comes with all the software applications needed to run a website - 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 web site files and take the website online. The majority of web hosting suppliers offer complete root-level access, i.e. you can install any software applications on the dedicated server and modify any settings. Particular script-powered software platforms require server-side apps that should be pre-installed in order for them to work. Many shopping cart scripts, for instance, involve such a requirement, and having complete root-level access to the dedicated server is essential for setting up a web shop. Other web hosting companies do not provide full server root access, but help the client activate the necessary software platforms - this is the so-called managed web hosting solution, as compared with the unmanaged hosting service, which comes with root access.
