What Precisely is Dedicated Hosting?

Free and paid shared plans are among the most famous hosting products on the marketplace. They are OK for small websites that do not necessitate plenty of system resources and do not draw that many visitors, but for busy web sites with many 1000's of visitors, a more powerful platform is necessary. If you want a dependable, cutting-edge web hosting solution that can tackle even millions of daily visits, a dedicated hosting is your best alternative.

Handle the Intense Load Created by Your Sites with a Dedicated Hosting Server

With the dedicated web server hosting solution, you rent an entire machine whose resources will be used solely by your web sites. Just as any computer, each dedicated hosting server has one or more processing units operating at a given speed, a given amount of RAM, one or more hard disks, etc. A web hosting server is indeed a computer with hardware meant to handle high load and certain software installed on it, such as web server software, PHP and MySQL software platforms, and so on, which permits the sites stored on it to be reachable on the web.

Managed Dedicated Hosting Solutions

A dedicated hosting server can be administered either by the hosting provider, or by the client, on the basis of the given dedicated hosting package. In either case, the party administering the dedicated web hosting server has access to a software platform to restart it at any given time. Administration is carried out via a web hosting Control Panel interface that allows you to supervise the processes running on the physical machine.

Operating Systems for Dedicated Hosting

There are different hosting server Operating Systems like Windows, FreeBSD, various Linux distributions, etc. Given web hosting providers provide dedicated hosting utilizing one specific OS, whereas others give customers a choice. MSSQL databases and .NET websites necessitate a Windows server, for example, and will not operate on a different OS, while PHP and HTML driven web sites utilizing MySQL databases will perform on any Operating System. Before renting a dedicated hosting server, check what the web hosting corporation provides and what the needs of your website are.

Software Applications for Dedicated Hosting

By default, each dedicated hosting server comes with all the software platforms needed in order to manage a web site - a web server, database software (MySQL, MSSQL, PostgreSQL, and so on), PHP software, an FTP server and so on, so once you obtain the web server, you can upload your website files and get the website online. The majority of web hosting providers give complete server root access, in other words you can activate any software applications on the dedicated hosting server and change any settings. Specific script-based platforms require server-side libraries that should be pre-installed in order for them to perform. Different e-commerce software scripts, for instance, impose such a precondition, and gaining full server root access to the dedicated hosting server is crucial for kicking off an online store. Other hosting service providers do not grant complete server root access, but help the customer activate the necessary software - this is the so-called managed web hosting solution, as distinguished from the unmanaged hosting solution, which includes complete root-level access.
