What Indeed is Dedicated Web Hosting?

Free and paid shared packages are among the most widely used website hosting products on the marketplace. They are great for small sites that do not need a lot of resources and do not have that many website visitors, but for large sites with many thousands of visitors, a more powerful solution is needed. If you are searching for a robust, no-holds-barred website hosting platform that can handle even 1 000 000's of everyday visits, a dedicated web hosting is your most appropriate option.

Handle the High Load Caused by Your Sites with a Dedicated Web Hosting Server

With the dedicated web hosting solution, you lease a whole web server whose resources will be used solely by your web sites. Just as any personal computer, each dedicated web hosting server has one or more processors functioning at a specific speed, a certain amount of RAM memory, one or more disk drives, etc. A dedicated hosting server is indeed a computer with hardware meant to handle high load and given software installed on it, like web server software, PHP and MySQL software platforms, etc., which permits the websites stored on it to be visible on the web.

Managed Dedicated Web Hosting Solutions

A dedicated web hosting server can be administered either by the host, or by the client, on the basis of the specific dedicated web hosting package. In either situation, the side administering the machine has access to a software platform to reboot it at any specific moment. Management is done through a web hosting CP interface that enables you to supervise the processes running on the server.

OSs for Dedicated Web Hosting

There are different server OSs such as Windows, FreeBSD, different Linux distributions, and so on. Certain web hosting companies offer dedicated web hosting using one given OS, whereas others give customers an alternative. MSSQL databases and .NET web sites necessitate a Windows server, for instance, and will not work on another Operating System, whereas PHP and HTML based web sites utilizing MySQL databases will function on any Operating System. Before leasing a dedicated web hosting server, examine what the web hosting corporation offers and what the needs of your web site are.

Software Platforms for Dedicated Web Hosting

By default, each dedicated web hosting server offers all the software apps needed in order to run a site - web server software, database software (MySQL, MSSQL, PostgreSQL, and so on), PHP software, an FTP server and so on, so the moment you obtain the dedicated server, you can upload your web site files and get the web site online. Most web hosting companies provide full server root privileges, i.e. you can activate any software applications on the dedicated web hosting server and revise any settings. Given script-based platforms require server-side applications that should be pre-activated in order for them to perform. Many shopping cart software scripts, for example, include such a precondition, and gaining complete root access to the dedicated web hosting server is crucial for launching a web shop. Other web hosting companies do not grant full server root privileges, but help the client install the necessary software apps - this is the so-called managed hosting solution, as differentiated from the unmanaged web hosting solution, which offers full root-level access.
