Explanation of Dedicated Servers

Free and paid shared plans are among the most widespread website hosting solutions on the market. They are perfect for small-scale web portals that do not necessitate lots of resources and do not have that many website visitors, but for resource-swallowing web sites with many thousands of visitors, a more powerful solution is needed. If you are seeking a dependable, hi-end shared hosting solution that can handle even 1 000 000's of daily hits, a dedicated server is your best option.

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

With the dedicated service, you lease an entire hosting server whose system resources will be used solely by your websites. Just like any personal computer, each dedicated server has one or more CPUs operating at a certain speed, a specific amount of RAM, one or more hard drives, and so on. A hosting server is actually a computer with a hardware configuration aimed to cope with intense load and specific software installed on it, such as web server software, PHP and MySQL software platforms, etc., which allows the websites stored on it to be visible on the World Wide Web.

Managed Dedicated Servers Hosting Solutions

A dedicated server can be administered either by the provider, or by the client, on the basis of the specific dedicated server package. In either case, the party handling the dedicated hosting server has access to a software tool to restart it at any time. Management is done via a CP graphical interface that permits you to monitor the services running on the machine.

OSs for Dedicated Servers

There are various web server OSs like Windows, FreeBSD, a variety of Linux distributions, and so on. Certain web hosting distributors offer dedicated servers using one given OS, while others give customers an alternative. MSSQL databases and .NET websites require a Windows server, for example, and will not operate on a different Operating System, while PHP and HTML driven websites using MySQL databases will perform on any OS. Before renting a dedicated server, discover what the hosting firm provides and what the requirements of your site are.

Software Platforms for Dedicated Servers

By default, each dedicated server offers all the software apps required to manage a web site - web server software, database software (MySQL, MSSQL, PostgreSQL, etc.), PHP software, an FTP server and so on, so as soon as you obtain the dedicated machine, you can upload your website files and get the site online. Most web hosting distributors offer root-level access, i.e. you can activate any software applications on the dedicated server and alter any settings. Given script-based software platforms need server-side apps that should be pre-installed in order for them to function. Many shopping cart scripts, for instance, have such a requirement, and being given root-level access to the dedicated server is key for having a web shop. Other web hosting service providers do not offer full server root access, but help the client activate the required software - this is the so-called managed web hosting solution, as compared to the unmanaged hosting service, which includes full server root access.
