Dedicated Server Hosting Explanation

Free and paid shared plans are one of the most commonly used website hosting solutions on the market. They are suitable for small-sized web pages that do not necessitate lots of resources and do not get that many website visitors, but for large-scale web pages with many 1000's of viewers, a more advanced solution is demanded. If you are searching for an advanced, avant-garde shared hosting solution that can handle even 1 000 000's of daily visits, a dedicated server is your most appropriate alternative.

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

With the dedicated server web hosting service, you rent a whole physical server whose resources will be utilized solely by your web sites. Just as any computer, each dedicated hosting server has one or more processors operating at a specific speed, some amount of memory, one or more hard disk drives, etc. A dedicated hosting server is actually a computer with hardware intended to handle heavy load and some software activated on it, like web server software, PHP and MySQL software platforms, and so on, which allows the websites accommodated on it to be available on the Internet.

Managed Dedicated Servers Hosting Solutions

A dedicated hosting server can be managed either by the hosting corporation, or by the client, depending on the given dedicated server plan. In either situation, the side administering the web hosting server has access to a software platform to restart it at any particular time. Administration is carried out via a web hosting Control Panel tool that allows you to keep an eye on the tasks running on the web hosting server.

OSs for Dedicated Servers

There are various hosting server OSs such as Windows, FreeBSD, a variety of Linux distributions, etc. Some web hosting firms offer dedicated servers utilizing one given OS, while others give customers an option. MSSQL databases and .NET sites require a Windows web server, for example, and will not function on a different Operating System, while PHP and HTML driven web sites using MySQL databases will operate on any Operating System. Before renting a dedicated hosting server, examine what the hosting distributor offers and what the requirements of your web site are.

Software Applications for Dedicated Servers

By default, each dedicated hosting server comes with all the software platforms required to run a website - web server software, database software (MySQL, MSSQL, PostgreSQL, and so on), PHP software, FTP server software and so on, so the moment you get the web hosting server, you can upload your web files and bring the web site online. The majority of web hosting companies provide full root privileges, in other words you can activate any software apps on the dedicated hosting server and alter any settings. Certain script-powered software platforms require server-side libraries that should be pre-installed in order for them to operate. Different shopping cart scripts, for example, have such a precondition, and getting full server root access to the dedicated hosting server is critical for kicking off an online shop. Other web hosting firms do not provide full server root privileges, but help the client install the required software apps - this is the so-called managed hosting solution, as compared with the unmanaged web hosting solution, which comes with root-level access.
