What Precisely is Dedicated Hosting?

Free and paid shared plans are one of the most popular website hosting products on the marketplace. They are OK for small web pages that do not request lots of system resources and do not attract that many web site visitors, but for resource-swallowing web sites with many thousands of visitors, a more advanced solution is required. If you need a dependable, top-quality web hosting platform that can handle even 1 000 000's of daily visits, a dedicated hosting is your most excellent option.

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

With the dedicated server web hosting service, you rent an entire physical machine whose resources will be used solely by your sites. Just as any PC, each dedicated hosting server has one or more processing units running at a given speed, a certain amount of RAM memory, one or more disk drives, and so on. A server is in fact a computer with hardware meant to cope with intense load and specific software activated on it, like web server software, PHP and MySQL software platforms, etc., which permits the sites hosted on it to be visible on the web.

Managed Dedicated Hosting Services

A dedicated hosting server can be administered either by the web hosting firm, or by the customer, on the basis of the concrete dedicated hosting package. In either case, the side handling the server has access to a software platform to reboot it at any specific moment. Management is carried out through a web hosting CP interface that permits you to keep an eye on the processes running on the dedicated machine.

Operating Systems for Dedicated Hosting

There are various server OSs like Windows, FreeBSD, various Linux distributions, and so on. Certain providers offer dedicated hosting utilizing one given OS, while others give clients an option. MSSQL databases and .NET sites necessitate a Windows web server, for instance, and will not work on another OS, whereas PHP and HTML driven web sites using MySQL databases will work on any Operating System. Prior to leasing a dedicated hosting server, check what the provider offers and what the necessities of your site are.

Software Platforms for Dedicated Hosting

By default, each dedicated hosting server offers all the software applications required to run a web site - a web server, database software (MySQL, MSSQL, PostgreSQL, and so on), PHP software, FTP server software and so on, so as soon as you get the dedicated hosting server, you can upload your web files and get the site online. The majority of web hosting distributors provide full server root access, in other words you can activate any software apps on the dedicated hosting server and alter any settings. Specific script-driven platforms need server-side libraries that should be pre-activated in order for them to run. A lot of e-commerce software scripts, for example, include such a precondition, and having complete root access to the dedicated hosting server is critical for establishing an online storefront. Other providers do not grant root access, but help the customer install the required software platforms - this is the so-called managed web hosting solution, as differentiated from the unmanaged web hosting solution, which comes with full root-level access.
