What Indeed is Dedicated Web Hosting?

Free and paid shared packages are one of the most widespread hosting products on the marketplace. They are okay for small-size online portals that do not require a lot of resources and do not attract that many web site visitors, but for heavy resource-consuming websites with many thousands of website visitors, a more powerful platform is required. If you are searching for a robust, first-rate web hosting platform that can cope with even millions of everyday hits, a dedicated web hosting is your best alternative.

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

With the dedicated server web hosting solution, you rent an entire hosting server whose system resources will be used solely by your web sites. Just like any computer, each dedicated server has one or more processing units functioning at a specific speed, a given amount of memory, one or more disk drives, etc. A dedicated hosting server is actually a computer with a hardware configuration intended to cope with intense load and certain software installed on it, like a web server, PHP and MySQL software, and so on, which allows the sites hosted on it to be reachable on the World Wide Web.

Managed Dedicated Web Hosting Solutions

A dedicated server can be administered either by the hosting provider, or by the client, depending on the given dedicated web hosting package. In either case, the party administering the web server has access to a software tool to restart it at any given moment. Management is carried out via a hosting Control Panel graphical user interface that allows you to keep an eye on the tasks running on the web hosting server.

OSs for Dedicated Web Hosting

There are various web hosting server OSs such as Windows, FreeBSD, various Linux distributions, etc. Some hosting distributors offer dedicated web hosting running one particular Operating System, whereas others give clients a choice. MSSQL databases and .NET web sites require a Windows server, for example, and will not function on another OS, whereas PHP and HTML driven web sites utilizing MySQL databases will work on any Operating System. Prior to renting a dedicated server, discover what the hosting distributor provides and what the requirements of your web site are.

Software Platforms for Dedicated Web Hosting

By default, each dedicated server includes all the software platforms needed to manage 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 get the web server, you can upload your web site files and bring the site online. Most hosting service providers give root-level access, in other words you can install any software on the dedicated server and update any settings. Some script-driven platforms need server-side apps that should be pre-activated in order for them to operate. Various shopping cart software scripts, for instance, involve such a precondition, and receiving full root-level access to the dedicated server is decisive for developing an online shop. Other web hosting service providers do not grant complete server root access, but help the client activate the needed software applications - this is the so-called managed hosting service, as compared with the unmanaged hosting service, which includes full root privileges.
