Dedicated Servers Description

Free and paid shared plans are among the most popular web hosting products on the marketplace. They are applicable for small-size web pages that do not request lots of system resources and do not draw that many website visitors, but for resource-demanding sites with many 1000's of web site visitors, a more powerful solution is needed. If you demand a solid, top-class hosting solution that can tackle even 1 000 000's of daily visits, a dedicated server is your most suitable alternative.

Handle the Intense Load Caused by Your Web Sites with a Dedicated Server

With the dedicated service, you rent an entire physical server whose resources will be used only by your websites. Just as any PC, each dedicated server has one or more processors operating at a particular speed, a specific amount of RAM memory, one or more hard drives, etc. A dedicated hosting server is actually a computer with a hardware configuration intended to handle heavy load and some software installed on it, like a web server, PHP and MySQL software, and so on, which allows the websites accommodated on it to be available on the Internet.

Managed Dedicated Hosting Services

A dedicated server can be managed either by the web hosting supplier, or by the customer, based on the given dedicated server package. In either situation, the party administering the dedicated web hosting server has access to a software platform to reboot it at any given moment. Administration is carried out via a Control Panel graphical user interface that permits you to monitor the tasks running on the web hosting server.

OSs for Dedicated Servers

There are various hosting server Operating Systems like Windows, FreeBSD, various Linux distributions, etc. Specific hosting providers offer dedicated servers utilizing one given Operating System, whereas others offer clients an alternative. MSSQL databases and .NET sites necessitate a Windows server, for example, and will not operate on another Operating System, whereas PHP and HTML driven sites using MySQL databases will run on any Operating System. Prior to leasing a dedicated server, learn what the web hosting company offers and what the requirements of your web site are.

Software Apps for Dedicated Servers

By default, each dedicated server offers all the software applications needed to run a web site - a web server, database software (MySQL, MSSQL, PostgreSQL, etc.), PHP software, an FTP server and so on, so as soon as you get the web server, you can upload your web files and get the website online. The majority of web hosting companies provide root-level access, i.e. you can install any software platforms on the dedicated server and update any settings. Some script-driven software platforms need server-side applications that should be pre-installed in order for them to perform. Lots of shopping cart scripts, for instance, involve such a requirement, and obtaining full root-level access to the dedicated server is vital for building an online storefront. Other web hosts do not grant root access, but help the customer activate the necessary software - this is the so-called managed hosting solution, as compared to the unmanaged hosting solution, which offers full root-level access.
