What Exactly are Dedicated Servers?

Free and paid shared plans are among the most widespread web hosting products on the marketplace. They are okay for small-size sites that do not demand lots of resources and do not attract that many web site visitors, but for high resource-devouring web sites with many 1000's of web site visitors, a more advanced platform is demanded. If you are searching for a steady, hi-end hosting solution that can deal with even 1 000 000's of daily visits, a dedicated package is your best option.

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

With the dedicated solution, you lease a whole machine whose resources will be utilized solely by your web sites. Just like any computer, each dedicated server has one or more central processing units functioning at a particular speed, a particular amount of RAM, one or more hard disk drives, etc. A web hosting server is indeed a computer with hardware designed to handle heavy load and specific software installed on it, like a web server, PHP and MySQL software, and so on, which permits the websites stored on it to be reachable online.

Managed Dedicated Hosting Services

A dedicated server can be managed either by the hosting vendor, or by the customer, on the basis of the concrete dedicated package package. In either situation, the party managing the web server has access to a software tool to reboot it at any particular moment. Administration is done through a CP graphical interface that allows you to monitor the processes running on the dedicated machine.

Operating Systems for Dedicated Packages

There are different web hosting server OSs such as Windows, FreeBSD, a variety of Linux distributions, etc. Specific web hosting companies provide dedicated packages using one particular Operating System, while others offer customers an option. MSSQL databases and .NET web sites demand a Windows web server, for instance, and will not work on a different Operating System, whereas PHP and HTML based websites using MySQL databases will function on any Operating System. Prior to renting a dedicated server, learn what the hosting supplier offers and what the requirements of your web site are.

Software Applications for Dedicated Packages

By default, each dedicated server comes with all the software applications needed in order to administer a site - a web server, database software (MySQL, MSSQL, PostgreSQL, etc.), PHP software, an FTP server and so on, so once you obtain the dedicated hosting server, you can upload your website files and bring the website online. Most web hosting vendors grant full server root privileges, i.e. you can install any software apps on the dedicated server and revise any settings. Given script-powered software platforms need server-side libraries that should be pre-installed in order for them to function. Various e-commerce scripts, for example, have such a precondition, and being supplied with full root-level access to the dedicated server is essential for setting up an online storefront. Other web hosting vendors do not provide full server root access, but help the customer activate the necessary software - this is the so-called managed hosting service, as compared with the unmanaged hosting service, which comes with full root access.
