Dedicated Servers Explanation

Free and paid shared packages are among the most popular web hosting products on the market. They are okay for small online portals that do not need a lot of system resources and do not receive that many viewers, but for heavy resource-demanding web sites with many thousands of website visitors, a more advanced platform is necessary. If you desire a rock steady, first-class shared hosting solution that can cope with even 1 000 000's of everyday hits, a dedicated server is your most suitable option.

Tackle the Load Created by Your Sites with a Dedicated Server

With the dedicated web server hosting service, you lease an entire web server whose system resources will be utilized solely by your web sites. Just like any computer, each dedicated server has one or more microprocessors running at a specific speed, a given amount of memory, one or more disk drives, and so on. A server is actually a computer with a hardware configuration intended to handle intense load and given software activated on it, like web server software, PHP and MySQL software platforms, and so on, which permits the websites stored on it to be accessible on the World Wide Web.

Managed Dedicated Servers Hosting Solutions

A dedicated server can be managed either by the hosting vendor, or by the customer, based on the concrete dedicated server package. In either situation, the side handling the dedicated web hosting server has access to a software tool to reboot it at any time. Administration is done via a hosting Control Panel user interface that permits you to keep track of the services running on the hosting server.

OSs for Dedicated Servers

There are various web hosting server Operating Systems such as Windows, FreeBSD, different Linux distributions, and so on. Certain web hosting distributors offer dedicated servers utilizing one given OS, while others give clients an alternative. MSSQL databases and .NET websites necessitate a Windows server, for instance, and will not run on another Operating System, whereas PHP and HTML based web sites utilizing MySQL databases will operate on any OS. Before leasing a dedicated server, discover what the hosting distributor provides and what the needs of your website are.

Software Apps for Dedicated Servers

By default, each dedicated server offers all the software applications required in order to administer a website - web server software, database software (MySQL, MSSQL, PostgreSQL, and so on), PHP software, an FTP server and so on, so as soon as you obtain the web hosting server, you can upload your web site files and bring the website online. Most hosting vendors give root-level access, in other words you can activate any software apps on the dedicated server and revise any settings. Certain script-driven software platforms need server-side libraries that should be pre-installed in order for them to work. A lot of e-commerce scripts, for example, impose such a requirement, and getting full server root access to the dedicated server is decisive for building an online shop. Other hosting service providers do not provide complete server root access, but help the customer install the required software platforms - this is the so-called managed hosting service, as compared with the unmanaged hosting solution, which offers root access.
