What Do Dedicated Hosting Servers Stand for?

Free and paid shared plans are one of the most popular web hosting products on the marketplace. They are appropriate for small-scale web sites that do not require a lot of resources and do not get that many website visitors, but for heavy resource-absorbing online portals with many thousands of visitors, a more advanced solution is needed. If you are searching for a dependable, top-drawer shared hosting solution that can deal with even 1 000 000's of daily hits, a dedicated hosting is your most excellent choice.

Handle the Intense Load Generated by Your Websites with a Dedicated Hosting Server

With the dedicated solution, you rent a whole server whose system resources will be used only by your sites. Just as any computer, each dedicated hosting server has one or more microprocessors operating at a particular speed, a particular amount of RAM, one or more hard disks, etc. A dedicated web server is in fact a computer with hardware intended to tackle heavy load and given software installed on it, such as a web server, PHP and MySQL software platforms, etc., which permits the sites hosted on it to be reachable on the World Wide Web.

Managed Dedicated Hosting Solutions

A dedicated hosting server can be administered either by the hosting service provider, or by the client, on the basis of the specific dedicated hosting plan. In either instance, the side handling the physical machine has access to a software platform to restart it at any given moment. Management is carried out via a web hosting CP tool that enables you to keep an eye on the services running on the dedicated machine.

OSs for Dedicated Hosting

There are different web hosting server OSs such as Windows, FreeBSD, different Linux distributions, etc. Specific hosts provide dedicated hosting using one given OS, while others offer clients an alternative. MSSQL databases and .NET sites require a Windows web server, for instance, and will not work on a different Operating System, while PHP and HTML driven sites utilizing MySQL databases will function on any OS. Before leasing a dedicated hosting server, examine what the hosting firm provides and what the needs of your web site are.

Software Applications for Dedicated Hosting

By default, each dedicated hosting server comes with all the software apps required in order to administer a site - web server software, database software (MySQL, MSSQL, PostgreSQL, and so on), PHP software, FTP server software and so on, so once you obtain the server, you can upload your web site files and bring the site online. The majority of web hosting service providers give full server root access, in other words you can install any software platforms on the dedicated hosting server and alter any settings. Given script-based platforms need server-side applications that should be pre-activated in order for them to run. Lots of e-commerce software scripts, for example, involve such a precondition, and obtaining full root-level access to the dedicated hosting server is essential for managing a web store. Other web hosting corporations do not give complete root access, but help the client install the required software apps - this is the so-called managed hosting solution, as compared to the unmanaged hosting service, which includes full root privileges.
