Dedicated Web Hosting Explanation

Free and paid shared plans are among the most popular hosting products on the market.

If you desire a reliable, top-drawer web hosting platform that can tackle even 1 000 000's of daily visits, a dedicated web hosting is your finest alternative.

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

With the dedicated hosting solution, you lease an entire web hosting server whose system resources will be used only by your sites. Just as any computer, each dedicated server has one or more central processing units functioning at a particular speed, a certain amount of memory, one or more hard disk drives, etc. A web hosting server is actually a computer with a hardware configuration designed to tackle heavy load and specific software activated on it, such as web server software, PHP and MySQL software, etc., which permits the websites stored on it to be visible on the World Wide Web.

Managed Dedicated Web Hosting Services

A dedicated server can be managed either by the hosting firm, or by the client, depending on the specific dedicated web hosting package. In either instance, the party managing the web hosting server has access to a software tool to reboot it at any particular moment. Management is carried out via a web hosting Control Panel user interface that allows you to check the services running on the server.

OSs for Dedicated Web Hosting

There are different hosting server Operating Systems such as Windows, FreeBSD, a variety of Linux distributions, etc. Certain hosting suppliers provide dedicated web hosting using one given Operating System, whereas others offer clients an alternative. MSSQL databases and .NET web sites necessitate a Windows web server, for instance, and will not work on another Operating System, while PHP and HTML driven websites utilizing MySQL databases will perform on any Operating System. Before leasing a dedicated server, discover what the hosting firm offers and what the requirements of your website are.

Software Apps for Dedicated Web Hosting

By default, each dedicated server offers all the software applications required to manage a site - a web server, database software (MySQL, MSSQL, PostgreSQL, etc.), PHP software, FTP server software and so on, so as soon as you get the server, you can upload your files and take the website online. The majority of hosting firms offer root privileges, in other words you can install any software applications on the dedicated server and alter any settings. Some script-based platforms require server-side libraries that should be pre-activated in order for them to perform. Many shopping cart scripts, for instance, include such a requirement, and being bestowed with full server root access to the dedicated server is critical for setting up a web storefront. Other web hosting corporations do not grant full server root access, but help the client install the needed software platforms - this is the so-called managed web hosting service, as distinguished from the unmanaged hosting solution, which comes with full server root privileges.
