Dedicated Servers Defined

Free and paid shared plans are among the most famous hosting solutions on the market. They are appropriate for small-scale web pages that do not need plenty of resources and do not draw that many web site visitors, but for heavy resource-swallowing web sites with many thousands of website visitors, a more powerful platform is demanded. If you require a rock steady, topflight hosting solution that can cope with even millions of daily visits, a dedicated server is your most appropriate option.

Handle the Intense Load Caused by Your Web Sites with a Dedicated Server

With the dedicated web server hosting solution, you rent a whole physical server whose system resources will be utilized only by your web sites. Just like any personal computer, each dedicated server has one or more processing units operating at a given speed, a given amount of RAM memory, one or more hard drives, etc. A dedicated web server is actually a computer with hardware designed to tackle intense load and specific software activated on it, like web server software, PHP and MySQL software platforms, and so on, which permits the web sites stored on it to be available online.

Managed Dedicated Hosting Services

A dedicated server can be managed either by the web hosting supplier, or by the customer, on the basis of the given dedicated server package. In either situation, the party administering the dedicated web hosting server has access to a software tool to restart it at any specific moment. Administration is carried out via a hosting CP user interface that permits you to keep an eye on the services running on the dedicated server.

OSs for Dedicated Servers

There are different hosting server Operating Systems like Windows, FreeBSD, an array of Linux distributions, etc. Specific web hosts offer dedicated servers using one given Operating System, while others offer clients an alternative. MSSQL databases and .NET websites demand a Windows web server, for instance, and will not work on another OS, whereas PHP and HTML driven sites utilizing MySQL databases will run on any Operating System. Before renting a dedicated server, find out what the web hosting service provider provides and what the needs of your web site are.

Software Apps for Dedicated Servers

By default, each dedicated server comes with all the software platforms required in order to manage a site - web server software, database software (MySQL, MSSQL, PostgreSQL, etc.), PHP software, FTP server software and so on, so as soon as you get the server, you can upload your files and bring the site online. Most hosting service providers grant root-level access, i.e. you can activate any software platforms on the dedicated server and change any settings. Certain script-based software platforms require server-side applications that should be pre-activated in order for them to function. Many e-commerce software scripts, for instance, impose such a precondition, and having root-level access to the dedicated server is key for having an online storefront. Other web hosting corporations do not grant root-level access, but help the customer install the needed software platforms - this is the so-called managed hosting service, as distinguished from the unmanaged hosting solution, which comes with complete root-level access.
