Description of Dedicated Hosting

Free and paid shared plans are one of the most commonly used hosting solutions on the market. They are okay for small-size online portals that do not demand a lot of system resources and do not get that many visitors, but for resource-swallowing sites with many thousands of web site visitors, a more powerful platform is required. If you desire a solid, leading-edge web hosting platform that can cope with even millions of everyday hits, a dedicated hosting is your most suitable choice.

Tackle the Load Caused by Your Sites with a Dedicated Hosting Server

With the dedicated web hosting service, you lease a whole physical machine whose resources will be utilized solely by your web sites. Just as any PC, each dedicated hosting server has one or more microprocessors functioning at a given speed, a particular amount of RAM memory, one or more hard drives, etc. A dedicated web server is indeed a computer with hardware intended to handle high load and certain software activated on it, like web server software, PHP and MySQL software platforms, etc., which permits the sites hosted on it to be visible on the Internet.

Managed Dedicated Hosting Solutions

A dedicated hosting server can be administered either by the web hosting provider, or by the client, on the basis of the concrete dedicated hosting plan. In either situation, the party managing the dedicated machine has access to a software platform to restart it at any given moment. Administration is done through a hosting CP tool that permits you to monitor the tasks running on the web server.

Operating Systems for Dedicated Hosting

There are different web server OSs such as Windows, FreeBSD, a variety of Linux distributions, and so on. Specific web hosting providers provide dedicated hosting utilizing one particular Operating System, while others give clients an option. MSSQL databases and .NET sites necessitate a Windows server, for instance, and will not function on a different Operating System, while PHP and HTML based websites using MySQL databases will operate on any Operating System. Before leasing a dedicated hosting server, examine what the web host offers and what the necessities of your site are.

Software Platforms for Dedicated Hosting

By default, each dedicated hosting server comes with all the software apps needed to run a web site - web server software, database software (MySQL, MSSQL, PostgreSQL, etc.), PHP software, FTP server software and so on, so the moment you obtain the dedicated machine, you can upload your web site files and bring the website online. Most web hosting service providers give complete root access, i.e. you can activate any software applications on the dedicated hosting server and revise any settings. Particular script-powered platforms require server-side apps that should be pre-activated in order for them to perform. Plenty of shopping cart scripts, for instance, have such a requirement, and obtaining full server root access to the dedicated hosting server is critical for launching a web storefront. Other web hosting corporations do not grant complete root access, but help the client install the required software applications - this is the so-called managed hosting service, as differentiated from the unmanaged web hosting service, which comes with full root privileges.
