What Indeed are Dedicated Web Hosting Servers?

Free and paid shared packages are one of the most commonly used hosting solutions on the marketplace. They are excellent for small-sized sites that do not demand plenty of resources and do not receive that many visitors, but for resource-consuming web sites with many thousands of website visitors, a more powerful platform is necessary. If you require a reliable, top-quality website hosting platform that can handle even millions of daily visits, a dedicated web hosting is your most suitable alternative.

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

With the dedicated web server hosting service, you rent a whole physical server whose system resources will be utilized solely by your websites. Just as any computer, each dedicated web hosting server has one or more processors operating at a specific speed, a given amount of memory, one or more hard drives, etc. A dedicated hosting server is actually a computer with hardware designed to tackle heavy load and specific software installed on it, like a web server, PHP and MySQL software platforms, and so on, which allows the web sites stored on it to be accessible online.

Managed Dedicated Web Hosting Services

A dedicated web hosting server can be administered either by the host, or by the client, on the basis of the concrete dedicated web hosting package. In either instance, the side administering the dedicated web server has access to a software tool to restart it at any specific moment. Management is done via a web hosting CP tool that permits you to supervise the services running on the hosting server.

OSs for Dedicated Web Hosting

There are various web hosting server Operating Systems like Windows, FreeBSD, a variety of Linux distributions, and so on. Given web hosting corporations offer dedicated web hosting using one specific Operating System, whereas others offer clients an alternative. MSSQL databases and .NET websites necessitate a Windows web server, for example, and will not function on a different OS, whereas PHP and HTML driven sites utilizing MySQL databases will perform on any OS. Before renting a dedicated web hosting server, discover what the web hosting provider offers and what the necessities of your website are.

Software Apps for Dedicated Web Hosting

By default, each dedicated web hosting server offers all the software applications required to manage a site - web server software, database software (MySQL, MSSQL, PostgreSQL, and so on), PHP software, FTP server software and so on, so once you get the hosting server, you can upload your website files and bring the website online. The majority of web hosting vendors provide full server root access, i.e. you can activate any software applications on the dedicated web hosting server and change any settings. Certain script-based software platforms require server-side applications that should be pre-activated in order for them to operate. Plenty of e-commerce scripts, for example, impose such a requirement, and having root-level access to the dedicated web hosting server is critical for developing a web storefront. Other web hosting corporations do not give full server root privileges, but help the customer activate the needed software applications - this is the so-called managed web hosting solution, as differentiated from the unmanaged hosting service, which offers full root privileges.
