Description of Dedicated Hosting

Free and paid shared packages are among the most widely used website hosting products on the marketplace. They are appropriate for small-sized online portals that do not demand lots of system resources and do not draw that many website visitors, but for large web sites with many thousands of viewers, a more advanced platform is needed. If you are looking for a robust, cutting-edge web hosting platform that can deal with even 1 000 000's of everyday visits, a dedicated hosting is your best choice.

Tackle the Intense Load Generated by Your Websites with a Dedicated Hosting Server

With the dedicated service, you rent an entire physical machine whose resources will be utilized only by your websites. Just like any personal computer, each dedicated hosting server has one or more microprocessors operating at a certain speed, a particular amount of memory, one or more hard disks, and so on. A dedicated web server is indeed a computer with a hardware configuration aimed to tackle heavy load and given software activated on it, like web server software, PHP and MySQL software, etc., which allows the sites stored on it to be available on the web.

Managed Dedicated Hosting Solutions

A dedicated hosting server can be administered either by the hosting corporation, or by the client, depending on the concrete dedicated hosting package. In either instance, the party administering the dedicated hosting server has access to a software platform to restart it at any particular time. Administration is carried out through a hosting CP graphical interface that enables you to check the services running on the hosting server.

OSs for Dedicated Hosting

There are different web server Operating Systems like Windows, FreeBSD, various Linux distributions, and so on. Given hosting corporations offer dedicated hosting utilizing one given OS, while others offer customers an option. MSSQL databases and .NET sites need a Windows server, for instance, and will not run on another OS, whereas PHP and HTML driven sites utilizing MySQL databases will operate on any Operating System. Before renting a dedicated hosting server, find out what the hosting vendor offers and what the requirements of your web site are.

Software Applications for Dedicated Hosting

By default, each dedicated hosting server includes all the software applications needed in order to run a site - 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 web server, you can upload your web site files and get the website online. Most web hosting distributors offer root-level access, in other words you can install any software applications on the dedicated hosting server and change any settings. Given script-driven platforms need server-side libraries that should be pre-activated in order for them to operate. Lots of shopping cart software scripts, for example, have such a precondition, and being granted complete root-level access to the dedicated hosting server is key for building a web store. Other web hosting suppliers do not provide full server root access, but help the client install the required software applications - this is the so-called managed hosting solution, as compared with the unmanaged web hosting solution, which offers complete server root access.
