Dedicated Web Hosting Description

Free and paid shared plans are among the most commonly used hosting products on the marketplace. They are applicable for small-size web portals that do not necessitate a lot of resources and do not attract that many visitors, but for heavy resource-requiring web pages with many thousands of website visitors, a more advanced solution is needed. If you want a powerful, hi-end web hosting solution that can deal with even 1 000 000's of everyday hits, a dedicated web hosting is your perfect alternative.

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

With the dedicated server web hosting service, you lease a whole physical machine whose resources will be utilized solely by your sites. Just as any personal computer, each dedicated server has one or more processing units operating at a specific speed, some amount of memory, one or more hard disk drives, and so on. A dedicated hosting server is indeed a computer with hardware designed to tackle heavy load and given software activated on it, like a web server, PHP and MySQL software, and so on, which allows the sites stored on it to be accessible on the World Wide Web.

Managed Dedicated Web Hosting Solutions

A dedicated server can be managed either by the web hosting company, or by the client, depending on the particular dedicated web hosting plan. In either case, the side managing the dedicated machine has access to a software tool to reboot it at any time. Administration is done through a web hosting Control Panel graphical user interface that permits you to keep an eye on the tasks running on the server.

Operating Systems for Dedicated Web Hosting

There are various server Operating Systems such as Windows, FreeBSD, different Linux distributions, and so on. Particular web hosting suppliers offer dedicated web hosting using one given Operating System, while others offer customers a choice. MSSQL databases and .NET websites require a Windows server, for example, and will not run on another OS, while PHP and HTML driven sites utilizing MySQL databases will function on any OS. Prior to leasing a dedicated server, discover what the host offers and what the requirements of your web site are.

Software Platforms for Dedicated Web Hosting

By default, each dedicated server offers all the software required in order to administer a site - a web server, database software (MySQL, MSSQL, PostgreSQL, and so on), PHP software, FTP server software and so on, so as soon as you obtain the dedicated server, you can upload your website files and take the website online. The majority of web hosting vendors offer full root access, i.e. you can install any software apps on the dedicated server and update any settings. Some script-driven platforms require server-side apps that should be pre-installed in order for them to perform. Plenty of e-commerce scripts, for instance, impose such a precondition, and gaining root-level access to the dedicated server is vital for having a web shop. Other hosting firms do not give complete server root access, but help the client install the necessary software platforms - this is the so-called managed hosting service, as distinguished from the unmanaged hosting solution, which includes complete root-level access.
