Dedicated Hosting Revealed

Free and paid shared plans are among the most popular hosting solutions on the marketplace. They are OK for small-scale sites that do not need a lot of resources and do not have that many visitors, but for high resource-absorbing web portals with many 1000's of web site visitors, a more powerful platform is necessary. If you need a robust, no-holds-barred hosting solution that can handle even 1 000 000's of daily visits, a dedicated package is your best alternative.

Tackle the Intense Load Caused by Your Websites with a Dedicated Server

With the dedicated service, you lease an entire web hosting server whose system resources will be utilized only by your sites. Just like any personal computer, each dedicated server has one or more processing units running at a given speed, some amount of RAM memory, one or more hard disks, and so on. A hosting server is in fact a computer with a hardware configuration meant to cope with intense load and certain software activated on it, like web server software, PHP and MySQL software platforms, etc., which allows the sites hosted on it to be accessible on the Internet.

Managed Dedicated Hosting Solutions

A dedicated server can be managed either by the web hosting vendor, or by the client, depending on the concrete dedicated package package. In either situation, the party administering the dedicated hosting server has access to a software tool to reboot it at any specific moment. Management is done via a web hosting CP tool that enables you to check the processes running on the dedicated hosting server.

OSs for Dedicated Packages

There are different server Operating Systems like Windows, FreeBSD, a number of Linux distributions, and so on. Given hosts provide dedicated packages using one given OS, whereas others offer clients an option. MSSQL databases and .NET sites need a Windows server, for example, and will not run on a different Operating System, whereas PHP and HTML based websites using MySQL databases will perform on any OS. Prior to leasing a dedicated server, discover what the hosting company provides and what the requirements of your site are.

Software Applications for Dedicated Packages

By default, each dedicated server offers all the software apps needed to manage a web site - web server software, database software (MySQL, MSSQL, PostgreSQL, etc.), PHP software, FTP server software and so on, so the moment you obtain the dedicated server, you can upload your website files and bring the site online. The majority of web hosting vendors give complete server root access, i.e. you can activate any software applications on the dedicated server and revise any settings. Given script-powered platforms need server-side apps that should be pre-installed in order for them to work. Various e-commerce scripts, for example, impose such a requirement, and getting complete server root access to the dedicated server is decisive for establishing a web store. Other web hosting firms do not grant root-level access, but help the customer activate the needed software platforms - this is the so-called managed hosting solution, as compared to the unmanaged hosting solution, which includes complete root access.
