What is Dedicated Servers Web Hosting?

Free and paid shared plans are among the most extensively used hosting products on the market. They are excellent for small web portals that do not necessitate lots of resources and do not draw that many web site visitors, but for heavy resource-demanding web portals with many 1000's of website visitors, a more powerful platform is demanded. If you would like to have a rock steady, top-class shared web hosting platform that can cope with even 1 000 000's of everyday hits, a dedicated server web hosting is your best alternative.

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

With the dedicated web hosting solution, you rent a whole web server whose resources will be utilized solely by your websites. Just like any personal computer, each dedicated web hosting server has one or more processing units functioning at a certain speed, some amount of RAM, one or more hard disk drives, etc. A dedicated web server is in fact a computer with hardware aimed to handle heavy load and given software installed on it, such as web server software, PHP and MySQL software platforms, etc., which permits the websites hosted on it to be visible on the World Wide Web.

Managed Dedicated Servers Web Hosting Solutions

A dedicated web hosting server can be administered either by the hosting vendor, or by the customer, on the basis of the specific dedicated server web hosting package. In either case, the side handling the dedicated server has access to a software tool to restart it at any particular time. Administration is carried out via a hosting Control Panel user interface that allows you to supervise the services running on the dedicated web server.

Operating Systems for Dedicated Server Web Hosting

There are various server Operating Systems like Windows, FreeBSD, a number of Linux distributions, and so on. Given web hosting providers offer dedicated server web hosting running one particular OS, while others give clients an option. MSSQL databases and .NET web sites necessitate a Windows web server, for example, and will not operate on another Operating System, whereas PHP and HTML driven websites utilizing MySQL databases will work on any Operating System. Prior to renting a dedicated web hosting server, check what the hosting firm offers and what the necessities of your website are.

Software Apps for Dedicated Server Web Hosting

By default, each dedicated web hosting server includes all the software needed to administer a website - web server software, database software (MySQL, MSSQL, PostgreSQL, etc.), PHP software, an FTP server and so on, so once you obtain the dedicated server, you can upload your web site files and get the site online. Most web hosting vendors give root-level access, i.e. you can install any software applications on the dedicated web hosting server and update any settings. Specific script-based software platforms require server-side libraries that should be pre-activated in order for them to run. Different e-commerce software scripts, for instance, involve such a requirement, and receiving full server root access to the dedicated web hosting server is vital for having a web storefront. Other web hosting distributors do not give full root privileges, but help the customer activate the required software apps - this is the so-called managed hosting solution, as compared with the unmanaged web hosting solution, which comes with complete server root access.
