Dedicated Hosting Explanation

Free and paid shared packages are among the most commonly used web hosting solutions on the marketplace. They are suitable for small-scale web sites that do not require lots of system resources and do not receive that many visitors, but for big web sites with many 1000's of visitors, a more advanced platform is demanded. If you want a robust, cutting-edge shared hosting solution that can handle even millions of daily visits, a dedicated hosting is your most suitable alternative.

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

With the dedicated server hosting solution, you lease an entire web hosting server whose system resources will be used solely by your sites. Just as any personal computer, each dedicated hosting server has one or more microprocessors running at a certain speed, a certain amount of RAM, one or more hard disk drives, etc. A hosting server is indeed a computer with a hardware configuration aimed to handle intense load and certain software activated on it, such as a web server, PHP and MySQL software platforms, and so on, which allows the websites accommodated on it to be available on the Internet.

Managed Dedicated Hosting Solutions

A dedicated hosting server can be administered either by the web hosting company, or by the customer, based on the given dedicated hosting plan. In either case, the side administering the web hosting server has access to a software tool to reboot it at any particular time. Administration is done through a hosting CP GUI that allows you to keep track of the tasks running on the machine.

Operating Systems for Dedicated Hosting

There are different web hosting server Operating Systems like Windows, FreeBSD, an array of Linux distributions, and so on. Given web hosting providers provide dedicated hosting using one particular OS, whereas others give customers a choice. MSSQL databases and .NET websites need a Windows server, for example, and will not work on another OS, while PHP and HTML driven sites utilizing MySQL databases will operate on any Operating System. Before renting a dedicated hosting server, check what the hosting service provider offers and what the necessities of your website are.

Software Platforms for Dedicated Hosting

By default, each dedicated hosting server comes with all the software apps needed to manage a website - web server software, database software (MySQL, MSSQL, PostgreSQL, etc.), PHP software, FTP server software and so on, so once you obtain the hosting server, you can upload your web site files and take the site online. Most hosting companies provide root-level access, in other words you can install any software on the dedicated hosting server and update any settings. Particular script-driven software platforms need server-side libraries that should be pre-installed in order for them to operate. A lot of e-commerce scripts, for example, have such a requirement, and gaining full server root access to the dedicated hosting server is key for setting up an online shop. Other providers do not offer root access, but help the customer install the necessary software applications - this is the so-called managed hosting solution, as compared to the unmanaged hosting service, which includes complete root access.
