What Do Dedicated Servers Denote?

Free and paid shared plans are one of the most popular website hosting products on the market. They are splendid for small-size websites that do not necessitate a lot of system resources and do not receive that many viewers, but for resource-demanding web portals with many thousands of web site visitors, a more powerful platform is demanded. If you are looking for a steady, top-quality shared hosting platform that can handle even 1 000 000's of daily visits, a dedicated server is your best alternative.

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

With the dedicated hosting service, you rent an entire web hosting server whose resources will be used only by your web sites. Just as any computer, each dedicated server has one or more CPUs operating at a given speed, a specific amount of memory, one or more disk drives, and so on. A web server is actually a computer with hardware intended to cope with intense load and certain software installed on it, like a web server, PHP and MySQL software, etc., which permits the websites hosted on it to be accessible on the Internet.

Managed Dedicated Servers Hosting Solutions

A dedicated server can be administered either by the hosting vendor, or by the customer, based on the given dedicated server plan. In either instance, the party administering the web server has access to a software platform to reboot it at any given moment. Administration is done through a CP GUI that allows you to keep an eye on the services running on the server.

Operating Systems for Dedicated Servers

There are different hosting server OSs like Windows, FreeBSD, a variety of Linux distributions, etc. Particular web hosting service providers offer dedicated servers running one given Operating System, whereas others give clients an alternative. MSSQL databases and .NET web sites necessitate a Windows server, for example, and will not function on another Operating System, whereas PHP and HTML driven sites using MySQL databases will work on any OS. Prior to leasing a dedicated server, learn what the web hosting provider provides and what the needs of your web site are.

Software Platforms for Dedicated Servers

By default, each dedicated server offers all the software applications needed in order to run a website - a web server, database software (MySQL, MSSQL, PostgreSQL, etc.), PHP software, FTP server software and so on, so the moment you get the dedicated machine, you can upload your website files and take the web site online. Most web hosting vendors give full root access, in other words you can install any software apps on the dedicated server and revise any settings. Specific script-powered platforms need server-side applications that should be pre-installed in order for them to perform. Various shopping cart scripts, for instance, have such a precondition, and getting full server root access to the dedicated server is vital for launching an online store. Other web hosts do not provide root access, but help the customer install the needed software apps - this is the so-called managed hosting solution, as differentiated from the unmanaged hosting solution, which offers root-level access.
