Dedicated Hosting Unmasked

Free and paid shared packages are among the most widespread hosting solutions on the marketplace. They are OK for small-size web portals that do not need lots of resources and do not receive that many web site visitors, but for large-scale web sites with many thousands of visitors, a more powerful solution is required. If you desire a rock solid, no-holds-barred shared hosting solution that can deal with even millions of everyday hits, a dedicated hosting is your perfect choice.

Handle the Heavy Load Generated by Your Sites with a Dedicated Hosting Server

With the dedicated server web hosting solution, you rent an entire physical machine whose system resources will be utilized solely by your web sites. Just as any computer, each dedicated hosting server has one or more processors running at a given speed, a certain amount of memory, one or more hard disks, and so on. A dedicated hosting server is actually a computer with a hardware configuration aimed to cope with intense load and some software installed on it, such as web server software, PHP and MySQL software platforms, and so on, which allows the websites accommodated on it to be visible on the web.

Managed Dedicated Hosting Solutions

A dedicated hosting server can be administered either by the hosting provider, or by the customer, on the basis of the particular dedicated hosting plan. In either case, the party handling the physical machine has access to a software tool to reboot it at any particular time. Administration is done through a web hosting Control Panel tool that permits you to supervise the processes running on the dedicated web server.

OSs for Dedicated Hosting

There are different web hosting server OSs like Windows, FreeBSD, various Linux distributions, and so on. Some hosting vendors offer dedicated hosting utilizing one specific Operating System, while others give customers a choice. MSSQL databases and .NET web sites request a Windows server, for instance, and will not operate on another OS, while PHP and HTML driven web sites utilizing MySQL databases will work on any Operating System. Prior to renting a dedicated hosting server, learn what the web hosting firm offers and what the needs of your site are.

Software Platforms for Dedicated Hosting

By default, each dedicated hosting server comes with all the software apps required to manage a web site - web server software, database software (MySQL, MSSQL, PostgreSQL, etc.), PHP software, an FTP server and so on, so the moment you get the dedicated web hosting server, you can upload your web site files and take the site online. Most web hosting firms give root access, in other words you can install any software platforms on the dedicated hosting server and change any settings. Specific script-powered software platforms need server-side applications that should be pre-installed in order for them to function. Different e-commerce software scripts, for example, have such a requirement, and getting complete server root access to the dedicated hosting server is key for making a web store. Other hosting suppliers do not provide full server root privileges, but help the client activate the required software apps - this is the so-called managed hosting service, as compared with the unmanaged web hosting service, which comes with full root access.
