Dedicated Hosting Explanation

Free and paid shared packages are one of the most popular hosting solutions on the market. They are good for small-sized web portals that do not need a lot of system resources and do not attract that many web site visitors, but for heavy resource-consuming web portals with many 1000's of website visitors, a more advanced solution is needed. If you are looking for a dependable, top-quality shared hosting platform that can handle even millions of everyday hits, a dedicated hosting is your finest alternative.

Tackle the Intense Load Caused by Your Sites with a Dedicated Hosting Server

With the dedicated server hosting service, you rent an entire web server whose system resources will be utilized solely by your sites. Just as any personal computer, each dedicated hosting server has one or more processing units running at a certain speed, a specific amount of RAM memory, one or more hard disks, and so on. A dedicated web server is actually a computer with a hardware configuration designed to cope with high load and some software installed on it, such as a web server, PHP and MySQL software platforms, and so on, which permits the web sites accommodated on it to be reachable on the World Wide Web.

Managed Dedicated Hosting Solutions

A dedicated hosting server can be managed either by the web host, or by the customer, on the basis of the particular dedicated hosting package. In either instance, the party handling the dedicated server has access to a software tool to restart it at any given moment. Management is done via a hosting CP GUI that enables you to keep track of the services running on the physical server.

OSs for Dedicated Hosting

There are various hosting server OSs like Windows, FreeBSD, various Linux distributions, and so on. Certain web hosting providers offer dedicated hosting using one particular OS, while others give customers a choice. MSSQL databases and .NET sites require a Windows server, for instance, and will not perform on another Operating System, whereas PHP and HTML driven web sites utilizing MySQL databases will work on any Operating System. Before leasing a dedicated hosting server, find out what the hosting distributor provides and what the needs of your web site are.

Software Applications for Dedicated Hosting

By default, each dedicated hosting server offers all the software platforms needed to run a website - a web server, database software (MySQL, MSSQL, PostgreSQL, and so on), PHP software, an FTP server and so on, so the moment you get the dedicated hosting server, you can upload your web site files and bring the website online. Most hosting distributors grant full root privileges, in other words you can install any software platforms on the dedicated hosting server and update any settings. Particular script-driven platforms require server-side apps that should be pre-installed in order for them to function. Many shopping cart scripts, for example, include such a requirement, and being given full server root access to the dedicated hosting server is critical for managing a web store. Other web hosting corporations do not grant root privileges, but help the client activate the required software platforms - this is the so-called managed hosting service, as differentiated from the unmanaged web hosting service, which offers complete root access.
