Dedicated Hosting Definition

Free and paid shared plans are one of the most widely used website hosting solutions on the marketplace. They are great for small online portals that do not request lots of resources and do not get that many viewers, but for high resource-requiring web pages with many thousands of website visitors, a more powerful solution is needed. If you need a powerful, top-drawer web hosting solution that can deal with even 1 000 000's of daily visits, a dedicated hosting is your most excellent choice.

Tackle the Heavy Load Caused by Your Web Sites with a Dedicated Hosting Server

With the dedicated hosting solution, you rent an entire machine whose resources will be used solely by your web sites. Just as any PC, each dedicated hosting server has one or more CPUs running at a specific speed, a specific amount of memory, one or more disk drives, etc. A web hosting server is actually a computer with hardware aimed to cope with intense load and some software activated on it, such as web server software, PHP and MySQL software, etc., which permits the web sites stored on it to be available on the World Wide Web.

Managed Dedicated Hosting Services

A dedicated hosting server can be administered either by the hosting corporation, or by the customer, depending on the specific dedicated hosting package. In either instance, the party handling the machine has access to a software tool to reboot it at any time. Administration is done through a CP GUI that allows you to keep track of the services running on the machine.

Operating Systems for Dedicated Hosting

There are various server Operating Systems such as Windows, FreeBSD, an array of Linux distributions, etc. Some hosting vendors provide dedicated hosting using one given Operating System, while others give customers a choice. MSSQL databases and .NET sites request a Windows server, for instance, and will not work on another Operating System, while PHP and HTML based sites using MySQL databases will run on any OS. Prior to leasing a dedicated hosting server, learn what the web hosting vendor offers and what the necessities of your website are.

Software Applications for Dedicated Hosting

By default, each dedicated hosting server comes with all the software apps required to administer a web site - web server software, database software (MySQL, MSSQL, PostgreSQL, etc.), PHP software, an FTP server and so on, so once you obtain the server, you can upload your web site files and take the website online. The majority of web hosting suppliers provide complete root access, i.e. you can install any software applications on the dedicated hosting server and alter any settings. Given script-based platforms need server-side applications that should be pre-activated in order for them to perform. Lots of shopping cart scripts, for instance, include such a requirement, and being granted full server root access to the dedicated hosting server is key for making a web storefront. Other web hosting firms do not offer root access, but help the customer activate the needed software applications - this is the so-called managed web hosting service, as compared with the unmanaged web hosting solution, which includes root-level access.
