Explanation of Dedicated Servers

Free and paid shared packages are one of the most widely used web hosting products on the marketplace. They are perfect for small-scale sites that do not need a lot of resources and do not receive that many visitors, but for content-heavy web portals with many 1000's of web site visitors, a more advanced platform is needed. If you want a solid, cutting-edge shared hosting platform that can handle even 1 000 000's of daily visits, a dedicated server is your most appropriate choice.

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

With the dedicated hosting service, you lease a whole web server whose system resources will be used only by your websites. Just like any PC, each dedicated server has one or more microprocessors operating at a certain speed, some amount of RAM memory, one or more hard disk drives, and so on. A dedicated web hosting server is actually a computer with hardware intended to cope with intense load and some software installed on it, like a web server, PHP and MySQL software platforms, and so on, which permits the sites hosted on it to be visible online.

Managed Dedicated Servers Hosting Services

A dedicated server can be managed either by the web hosting supplier, or by the client, on the basis of the concrete dedicated server plan. In either instance, the party handling the dedicated hosting server has access to a software tool to reboot it at any specific moment. Administration is done through a Control Panel tool that allows you to monitor the services running on the dedicated server.

Operating Systems for Dedicated Servers

There are different web hosting server Operating Systems like Windows, FreeBSD, different Linux distributions, etc. Certain web hosting suppliers offer dedicated servers using one given OS, while others give customers an alternative. MSSQL databases and .NET sites necessitate a Windows web server, for example, and will not operate on another OS, while PHP and HTML driven sites utilizing MySQL databases will work on any Operating System. Prior to leasing a dedicated server, examine what the hosting distributor provides and what the necessities of your site are.

Software Platforms for Dedicated Servers

By default, each dedicated server offers all the software platforms required to administer a website - a web server, database software (MySQL, MSSQL, PostgreSQL, and so on), PHP software, an FTP server and so on, so the moment you obtain the dedicated web hosting server, you can upload your web site files and take the website online. Most hosting firms offer full server root privileges, i.e. you can activate any software platforms on the dedicated server and modify any settings. Given script-based software platforms need server-side applications that should be pre-activated in order for them to function. Many shopping cart software scripts, for example, impose such a requirement, and gaining full server root access to the dedicated server is crucial for setting up a web storefront. Other hosting companies do not grant full root privileges, but help the client install the necessary software applications - this is the so-called managed web hosting solution, as differentiated from the unmanaged web hosting solution, which offers root access.
