Dedicated Hosting Revealed

Free and paid shared packages are one of the most extensively used website hosting solutions on the market. They are good for small online portals that do not require lots of system resources and do not get that many viewers, but for resource-swallowing web pages with many thousands of visitors, a more advanced platform is demanded. If you require a solid, topflight shared hosting solution that can handle even millions of everyday hits, a dedicated hosting is your most excellent option.

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

With the dedicated server hosting solution, you rent an entire hosting server whose resources will be used solely by your web sites. Just like any PC, each dedicated hosting server has one or more microprocessors operating at a certain speed, a particular amount of RAM, one or more hard disks, and so on. A dedicated hosting server is in fact a computer with a hardware configuration meant to tackle heavy load and certain software installed on it, such as a web server, PHP and MySQL software, and so on, which allows the sites stored on it to be reachable on the World Wide Web.

Managed Dedicated Hosting Services

A dedicated hosting server can be administered either by the host, or by the client, based on the concrete dedicated hosting plan. In either case, the side managing the hosting server has access to a software platform to restart it at any time. Administration is carried out via a Control Panel graphical user interface that allows you to monitor the services running on the dedicated web hosting server.

Operating Systems for Dedicated Hosting

There are different web hosting server OSs like Windows, FreeBSD, a number of Linux distributions, etc. Given web hosting corporations provide dedicated hosting using one given OS, while others offer clients an option. MSSQL databases and .NET websites necessitate a Windows server, for instance, and will not work on a different OS, whereas PHP and HTML driven sites using MySQL databases will perform on any Operating System. Prior to leasing a dedicated hosting server, check what the web hosting vendor provides and what the needs of your web site are.

Software Platforms for Dedicated Hosting

By default, each dedicated hosting server comes with all the software platforms required to administer a web site - web server software, database software (MySQL, MSSQL, PostgreSQL, etc.), PHP software, FTP server software and so on, so once you obtain the dedicated hosting server, you can upload your web files and bring the website online. The majority of web hosting service providers grant root-level access, i.e. you can install any software platforms on the dedicated hosting server and revise any settings. Particular script-powered software platforms need server-side libraries that should be pre-installed in order for them to perform. Plenty of e-commerce software scripts, for instance, have such a requirement, and being bestowed with full root access to the dedicated hosting server is vital for administering an online store. Other web hosting distributors do not grant full server root privileges, but help the client activate the required software applications - this is the so-called managed web hosting service, as compared to the unmanaged web hosting service, which offers full root access.
