Dedicated Plans Defined

Free and paid shared packages are one of the most famous website hosting products on the marketplace. They are great for small-size web pages that do not need plenty of resources and do not draw that many web site visitors, but for resource-absorbing web sites with many thousands of website visitors, a more powerful solution is required. If you are looking for a robust, leading-edge hosting platform that can tackle even millions of everyday hits, a dedicated server is your perfect alternative.

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

With the dedicated web hosting solution, you rent a whole physical server whose system resources will be used solely by your web sites. Just as any personal computer, each dedicated server has one or more central processing units running at a given speed, a certain amount of memory, one or more hard disks, etc. A dedicated web hosting server is actually a computer with a hardware configuration aimed to handle heavy load and certain software installed on it, such as a web server, PHP and MySQL software, etc., which permits the web sites hosted on it to be visible on the web.

Managed Dedicated Hosting Solutions

A dedicated server can be managed either by the hosting corporation, or by the client, on the basis of the given dedicated server package. In either case, the side handling the machine has access to a software tool to reboot it at any given time. Administration is done via a hosting Control Panel GUI that allows you to keep an eye on the processes running on the machine.

Operating Systems for Dedicated Servers

There are different web server Operating Systems like Windows, FreeBSD, an array of Linux distributions, etc. Specific web hosting providers offer dedicated servers running one given OS, while others offer clients an option. MSSQL databases and .NET sites demand a Windows server, for instance, and will not function on a different Operating System, whereas PHP and HTML based websites using MySQL databases will work on any Operating System. Prior to leasing a dedicated server, examine what the hosting vendor offers and what the needs of your website are.

Software Applications for Dedicated Servers

By default, each dedicated server offers all the software platforms required in order to administer a website - a web server, database software (MySQL, MSSQL, PostgreSQL, etc.), PHP software, an FTP server and so on, so the moment you obtain the dedicated web hosting server, you can upload your web files and bring the site online. Most web hosts provide full server root privileges, i.e. you can install any software on the dedicated server and modify any settings. Particular script-powered software platforms require server-side applications that should be pre-installed in order for them to function. Different shopping cart software scripts, for example, involve such a requirement, and getting full root-level access to the dedicated server is vital for developing a web shop. Other hosting vendors do not offer full root access, but help the customer install the necessary software apps - this is the so-called managed hosting service, as compared with the unmanaged web hosting solution, which comes with full root-level access.
