What Exactly are Dedicated Hosting Servers?

Free and paid shared packages are one of the most famous website hosting solutions on the market. They are splendid for small-sized web pages that do not demand a lot of system resources and do not draw that many website visitors, but for heavy resource-requiring sites with many 1000's of website visitors, a more advanced solution is required. If you desire a powerful, hi-end web hosting platform that can deal with even millions of everyday hits, a dedicated hosting is your most excellent alternative.

Tackle the High Load Generated by Your Websites with a Dedicated Hosting Server

With the dedicated web hosting service, you rent an entire server whose system resources will be used only by your websites. Just like any computer, each dedicated hosting server has one or more processors running at a particular speed, a given amount of memory, one or more disk drives, and so on. A web server is actually a computer with a hardware configuration intended to handle high load and given software activated on it, such as a web server, PHP and MySQL software platforms, etc., which permits the web sites hosted on it to be available on the World Wide Web.

Managed Dedicated Hosting Solutions

A dedicated hosting server can be managed either by the web hosting firm, or by the client, based on the particular dedicated hosting package. In either case, the side administering the dedicated web hosting server has access to a software tool to reboot it at any specific moment. Management is done via a web hosting CP tool that permits you to supervise the services running on the web hosting server.

Operating Systems for Dedicated Hosting

There are various hosting server Operating Systems such as Windows, FreeBSD, a variety of Linux distributions, etc. Specific web hosts offer dedicated hosting using one particular OS, whereas others offer customers a choice. MSSQL databases and .NET sites need a Windows web server, for instance, and will not perform on another Operating System, whereas PHP and HTML based web sites utilizing MySQL databases will function on any Operating System. Prior to renting a dedicated hosting server, find out what the provider offers and what the requirements of your site are.

Software Platforms for Dedicated Hosting

By default, each dedicated hosting server offers all the software applications required in order to run a web site - web server software, database software (MySQL, MSSQL, PostgreSQL, etc.), PHP software, an FTP server and so on, so the moment you get the dedicated web server, you can upload your website files and take the site online. The majority of providers offer full server root privileges, i.e. you can install any software apps on the dedicated hosting server and change any settings. Some script-driven platforms require server-side apps that should be pre-installed in order for them to perform. Many e-commerce scripts, for example, have such a requirement, and being provided with full root-level access to the dedicated hosting server is essential for launching a web store. Other providers do not provide complete root access, but help the customer activate the needed software - this is the so-called managed hosting service, as differentiated from the unmanaged hosting service, which includes root-level access.
