Dedicated Hosting Description

Free and paid shared packages are among the most widely used hosting products on the marketplace. They are okay for small-sized online portals that do not request lots of system resources and do not get that many website visitors, but for heavy resource-requiring online portals with many 1000's of visitors, a more powerful solution is necessary. If you require a rock solid, avant-garde shared hosting solution that can handle even 1 000 000's of everyday hits, a dedicated hosting is your most appropriate alternative.

Handle the High Load Caused by Your Websites with a Dedicated Hosting Server

With the dedicated hosting solution, you lease an entire physical machine whose system resources will be used only by your sites. Just like any PC, each dedicated hosting server has one or more microprocessors operating at a particular speed, a specific amount of RAM, one or more hard disks, and so on. A hosting server is actually a computer with a hardware configuration meant to tackle heavy load and certain software activated on it, such as web server software, PHP and MySQL software, and so on, which allows the web sites hosted on it to be available online.

Managed Dedicated Hosting Solutions

A dedicated hosting server can be managed either by the web hosting vendor, or by the client, on the basis of the concrete dedicated hosting plan. In either situation, the side handling the physical machine has access to a software platform to restart it at any given time. Management is done through a web hosting Control Panel interface that permits you to keep track of the services running on the hosting server.

OSs for Dedicated Hosting

There are different web hosting server OSs such as Windows, FreeBSD, a variety of Linux distributions, etc. Certain providers provide dedicated hosting using one given OS, whereas others offer clients an option. MSSQL databases and .NET sites request a Windows server, for example, and will not perform on a different Operating System, while PHP and HTML driven sites using MySQL databases will function on any OS. Prior to renting a dedicated hosting server, discover what the hosting distributor offers and what the necessities of your web site are.

Software Applications for Dedicated Hosting

By default, each dedicated hosting server comes with all the software platforms required in order to manage a website - a web server, database software (MySQL, MSSQL, PostgreSQL, and so on), PHP software, an FTP server and so on, so once you get the web server, you can upload your web files and get the web site online. The majority of web hosting suppliers grant full server root privileges, in other words you can install any software applications on the dedicated hosting server and alter any settings. Particular script-based software platforms need server-side applications that should be pre-installed in order for them to perform. A lot of e-commerce software scripts, for example, include such a requirement, and gaining complete root-level access to the dedicated hosting server is crucial for launching an online storefront. Other web hosting corporations do not provide complete root-level access, but help the client install the required software - this is the so-called managed web hosting service, as compared with the unmanaged web hosting service, which comes with full root privileges.
