Dedicated Servers Defined

Free and paid shared plans are among the most widespread website hosting solutions on the market. They are okay for small web portals that do not need a lot of system resources and do not get that many viewers, but for high resource-demanding online portals with many 1000's of website visitors, a more powerful platform is needed. If you want a rock solid, topflight hosting solution that can cope with even millions of everyday visits, a dedicated server is your most excellent choice.

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

With the dedicated web hosting service, you rent an entire server whose resources will be utilized only by your web sites. Just as any PC, each dedicated server has one or more central processing units operating at a given speed, a given amount of RAM memory, one or more hard disk drives, etc. A web hosting server is actually a computer with hardware meant to tackle intense load and given software installed on it, such as web server software, PHP and MySQL software platforms, etc., which allows the websites hosted on it to be available online.

Managed Dedicated Hosting Services

A dedicated server can be managed either by the web hosting company, or by the client, on the basis of the particular dedicated server package. In either situation, the party administering the web server has access to a software platform to reboot it at any specific time. Management is carried out via a Control Panel user interface that permits you to supervise the services running on the web server.

OSs for Dedicated Servers

There are different web hosting server Operating Systems such as Windows, FreeBSD, an array of Linux distributions, etc. Specific hosting firms offer dedicated servers running one specific Operating System, whereas others give clients an option. MSSQL databases and .NET sites necessitate a Windows web server, for example, and will not operate on a different OS, whereas PHP and HTML driven web sites utilizing MySQL databases will run on any OS. Before renting a dedicated server, check what the provider provides and what the needs of your site are.

Software Apps for Dedicated Servers

By default, each dedicated server comes with all the software apps needed in order to administer a website - a web server, database software (MySQL, MSSQL, PostgreSQL, etc.), PHP software, FTP server software and so on, so once you obtain the dedicated web hosting server, you can upload your website files and get the web site online. Most hosts provide complete root-level access, in other words you can activate any software platforms on the dedicated server and modify any settings. Particular script-driven platforms need server-side applications that should be pre-activated in order for them to work. A lot of shopping cart scripts, for instance, involve such a precondition, and being granted root access to the dedicated server is key for setting up an online store. Other hosting distributors do not offer complete server root access, but help the client activate the needed software apps - this is the so-called managed web hosting solution, as distinguished from the unmanaged web hosting solution, which includes root privileges.
