Dedicated Servers Explanation

Free and paid shared plans are among the most extensively used website hosting products on the marketplace. They are splendid for small-sized websites that do not need a lot of system resources and do not get that many web site visitors, but for huge sites with many thousands of website visitors, a more powerful solution is necessary. If you would like to have a solid, cutting-edge shared hosting solution that can deal with even 1 000 000's of daily visits, a dedicated server is your best alternative.

Tackle the High Load Generated by Your Web Sites with a Dedicated Server

With the dedicated hosting solution, you rent an entire web server whose resources will be used only by your web sites. Just as any PC, each dedicated server has one or more processing units operating at a certain speed, a particular amount of memory, one or more hard disks, etc. A dedicated hosting server is actually a computer with hardware intended to cope with high load and given software installed on it, like web server software, PHP and MySQL software platforms, etc., which allows the websites accommodated on it to be reachable on the Internet.

Managed Dedicated Hosting Solutions

A dedicated server can be managed either by the hosting firm, or by the client, depending on the concrete dedicated server package. In either instance, the party managing the physical machine has access to a software tool to reboot it at any specific time. Management is done through a web hosting CP GUI that permits you to keep track of the processes running on the dedicated server.

Operating Systems for Dedicated Servers

There are various server OSs such as Windows, FreeBSD, a number of Linux distributions, and so on. Certain web hosting suppliers provide dedicated servers running one particular OS, while others give clients an alternative. MSSQL databases and .NET web sites necessitate a Windows web server, for example, and will not work on a different OS, while PHP and HTML based web sites using MySQL databases will operate on any Operating System. Prior to leasing a dedicated server, examine what the web hosting corporation provides and what the requirements of your website are.

Software Applications for Dedicated Servers

By default, each dedicated server comes with all the software apps required to administer a website - web server software, database software (MySQL, MSSQL, PostgreSQL, and so on), PHP software, FTP server software and so on, so the moment you obtain the dedicated machine, you can upload your files and bring the web site online. The majority of hosting distributors give complete root access, in other words you can activate any software on the dedicated server and modify any settings. Given script-powered software platforms require server-side apps that should be pre-installed in order for them to work. Many e-commerce scripts, for instance, impose such a requirement, and getting complete root-level access to the dedicated server is vital for developing a web store. Other hosting providers do not offer full root-level access, but help the client install 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.
