What is Dedicated Hosting?

Free and paid shared packages are among the most widely used hosting solutions on the market. They are splendid for small sites that do not request lots of resources and do not get that many visitors, but for huge web portals with many 1000's of web site visitors, a more powerful solution is needed. If you are seeking an advanced, top-notch shared hosting solution that can cope with even millions of everyday hits, a dedicated hosting is your best choice.

Handle the High Load Created by Your Websites with a Dedicated Hosting Server

With the dedicated service, you lease a whole server whose system resources will be utilized only by your websites. Just as any PC, each dedicated hosting server has one or more CPUs operating at a particular speed, a given amount of RAM, one or more disk drives, etc. A dedicated web hosting server is actually a computer with hardware meant to handle intense load and given software installed on it, such as web server software, PHP and MySQL software platforms, and so on, which allows the sites accommodated on it to be visible on the World Wide Web.

Managed Dedicated Hosting Solutions

A dedicated hosting server can be managed either by the web hosting vendor, or by the customer, based on the given dedicated hosting plan. In either case, the side handling the hosting server has access to a software platform to restart it at any specific moment. Management is carried out through a hosting Control Panel interface that allows you to keep an eye on the processes running on the dedicated web hosting server.

OSs for Dedicated Hosting

There are various hosting server OSs such as Windows, FreeBSD, different Linux distributions, and so on. Certain web hosting distributors provide dedicated hosting using one given OS, whereas others offer clients an option. MSSQL databases and .NET websites demand a Windows web server, for instance, and will not run on another Operating System, while PHP and HTML based sites utilizing MySQL databases will function on any OS. Before renting a dedicated hosting server, examine what the hosting service provider provides and what the requirements of your website are.

Software Platforms for Dedicated Hosting

By default, each dedicated hosting server comes with all the software required to manage a site - web server software, database software (MySQL, MSSQL, PostgreSQL, and so on), PHP software, FTP server software and so on, so once you obtain the hosting server, you can upload your website files and take the website online. The majority of web hosting corporations give root access, i.e. you can activate any software on the dedicated hosting server and alter any settings. Given script-based platforms need server-side apps that should be pre-installed in order for them to work. Plenty of shopping cart scripts, for example, involve such a requirement, and being supplied with complete root access to the dedicated hosting server is crucial for having an online shop. Other web hosting corporations do not give full server root privileges, but help the customer activate the necessary software applications - this is the so-called managed hosting solution, as distinguished from the unmanaged web hosting solution, which includes full root privileges.
