Dedicated Servers Hosting Unmasked

Free and paid shared plans are among the most widely used website hosting products on the marketplace. They are suitable for small-scale websites that do not demand plenty of resources and do not have that many web site visitors, but for resource-swallowing websites with many 1000's of website visitors, a more advanced solution is required. If you need a dependable, hi-end shared hosting solution that can handle even 1 000 000's of daily visits, a dedicated server is your most suitable option.

Handle the Heavy Load Created by Your Websites with a Dedicated Server

With the dedicated server web hosting solution, you lease a whole web hosting server whose system resources will be used only by your web sites. Just as any PC, each dedicated server has one or more CPUs operating at a certain speed, a certain amount of RAM memory, one or more hard disks, etc. A server is indeed a computer with hardware aimed to handle high load and given software installed on it, like web server software, PHP and MySQL software, etc., which allows the web sites accommodated on it to be available on the Internet.

Managed Dedicated Servers Hosting Services

A dedicated server can be managed either by the hosting vendor, or by the client, depending on the specific dedicated server plan. In either instance, the side handling the physical server has access to a software platform to restart it at any moment. Administration is done via a hosting Control Panel graphical user interface that permits you to monitor the processes running on the dedicated hosting server.

OSs for Dedicated Servers

There are various web server Operating Systems such as Windows, FreeBSD, different Linux distributions, etc. Some web hosting service providers offer dedicated servers using one particular Operating System, while others offer clients an alternative. MSSQL databases and .NET websites necessitate a Windows web server, for example, and will not run on another OS, whereas PHP and HTML driven web sites using MySQL databases will function on any OS. Prior to renting a dedicated server, find out what the web hosting service provider provides and what the needs of your site are.

Software Applications for Dedicated Servers

By default, each dedicated server includes all the software platforms needed 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 get the server, you can upload your files and take the web site online. The majority of hosting firms provide complete root access, in other words you can activate any software on the dedicated server and update any settings. Some script-based platforms require server-side apps that should be pre-installed in order for them to function. A lot of e-commerce scripts, for instance, impose such a requirement, and receiving complete root-level access to the dedicated server is essential for making an online storefront. Other web hosting providers do not offer complete root access, but help the customer activate the required software apps - this is the so-called managed web hosting service, as distinguished from the unmanaged hosting solution, which includes root-level access.
