Description of Dedicated Services

Free and paid shared plans are among the most widespread hosting products on the market. They are perfect for small sites that do not need plenty of resources and do not have that many website visitors, but for resource-swallowing web pages with many 1000's of web site visitors, a more powerful platform is demanded. If you are looking for a stable, avant-garde hosting solution that can handle even 1 000 000's of everyday hits, a dedicated server is your most appropriate choice.

Tackle the Load Created by Your Web Sites with a Dedicated Server

With the dedicated hosting solution, you rent a whole web server whose resources will be used only by your web sites. Just as any personal computer, each dedicated server has one or more processing units running at a particular speed, a specific amount of RAM, one or more hard drives, etc. A dedicated web server is actually a computer with a hardware configuration meant to handle intense load and given software activated on it, such as web server software, PHP and MySQL software, etc., which allows the websites hosted on it to be accessible on the web.

Managed Dedicated Hosting Services

A dedicated server can be managed either by the hosting firm, or by the client, depending on the given dedicated server plan. In either instance, the side handling the physical server has access to a software platform to reboot it at any moment. Administration is carried out through a Control Panel tool that allows you to supervise the tasks running on the machine.

Operating Systems for Dedicated Servers

There are various server OSs such as Windows, FreeBSD, different Linux distributions, etc. Particular hosting service providers offer dedicated servers utilizing one given Operating System, while others offer clients an alternative. MSSQL databases and .NET sites necessitate a Windows web server, for instance, and will not function on a different OS, while PHP and HTML driven websites utilizing MySQL databases will function on any Operating System. Before leasing a dedicated server, find out what the hosting distributor provides and what the requirements of your web site are.

Software Applications for Dedicated Servers

By default, each dedicated server includes all the software applications needed to run a website - 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 files and take the site online. The majority of hosting companies provide complete root-level access, in other words you can install any software platforms on the dedicated server and revise any settings. Some script-based platforms need server-side apps that should be pre-installed in order for them to function. Lots of e-commerce software scripts, for example, have such a requirement, and being provided with full root access to the dedicated server is crucial for kicking off a web store. Other hosting service providers do not offer full root privileges, but help the client install the required software - this is the so-called managed hosting service, as compared with the unmanaged web hosting service, which includes complete root-level access.
