Explanation of Dedicated Hosting

Free and paid shared packages are among the most widely used website hosting products on the market. They are appropriate for small-size sites that do not require lots of system resources and do not draw that many web site visitors, but for resource-consuming online portals with many thousands of viewers, a more advanced solution is required. If you demand an advanced, top-quality shared hosting platform that can handle even millions of daily visits, a dedicated hosting is your perfect option.

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

With the dedicated solution, you rent an entire hosting server whose system resources will be used only by your sites. Just as any computer, each dedicated hosting server has one or more processing units running at a given speed, a certain amount of RAM, one or more hard disk drives, and so on. A hosting server is actually a computer with hardware aimed to tackle high load and certain software activated on it, like a web server, PHP and MySQL software platforms, etc., which allows the web sites accommodated on it to be reachable on the web.

Managed Dedicated Hosting Solutions

A dedicated hosting server can be administered either by the web hosting provider, or by the client, depending on the concrete dedicated hosting plan. In either situation, the party handling the dedicated web server has access to a software tool to restart it at any time. Management is carried out via a hosting Control Panel tool that enables you to check the processes running on the web server.

Operating Systems for Dedicated Hosting

There are different web server OSs like Windows, FreeBSD, various Linux distributions, and so on. Given hosting companies offer dedicated hosting running one given Operating System, while others offer customers an option. MSSQL databases and .NET websites require a Windows web server, for instance, and will not operate on a different OS, whereas PHP and HTML based websites using MySQL databases will perform on any OS. Before leasing a dedicated hosting server, find out what the hosting provider offers and what the requirements of your website are.

Software Apps for Dedicated Hosting

By default, each dedicated hosting server includes all the software needed to run a web site - web server software, database software (MySQL, MSSQL, PostgreSQL, and so on), PHP software, an FTP server and so on, so once you obtain the dedicated machine, you can upload your web site files and take the website online. The majority of hosting corporations grant full root privileges, in other words you can activate any software applications on the dedicated hosting server and revise any settings. Some script-powered platforms require server-side apps that should be pre-installed in order for them to function. Many e-commerce software scripts, for instance, have such a precondition, and being offered complete root access to the dedicated hosting server is vital for launching an online store. Other web hosts do not offer complete root access, but help the client install the required software platforms - this is the so-called managed hosting solution, as compared to the unmanaged hosting service, which comes with complete server root access.
