Dedicated Servers Definition

Free and paid shared packages are one of the most widespread website hosting solutions on the market. They are OK for small-sized web pages that do not necessitate lots of system resources and do not have that many web site visitors, but for popular web portals with many thousands of viewers, a more advanced solution is necessary. If you require a stable, hi-end shared hosting platform that can cope with even 1 000 000's of daily visits, a dedicated server is your best option.

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

With the dedicated web hosting solution, you rent a whole physical machine whose system resources will be utilized only by your sites. Just as any computer, each dedicated hosting server has one or more CPUs running at a specific speed, some amount of RAM, one or more hard drives, and so on. A dedicated web server is actually a computer with hardware aimed to handle high load and certain software installed on it, such as web server software, PHP and MySQL software platforms, etc., which allows the sites stored on it to be accessible online.

Managed Dedicated Servers Hosting Services

A dedicated hosting server can be managed either by the provider, or by the client, depending on the particular dedicated server package. In either instance, the side handling the dedicated web server has access to a software tool to reboot it at any given time. Administration is carried out through a web hosting CP tool that enables you to monitor the processes running on the server.

OSs for Dedicated Servers

There are various web hosting server OSs like Windows, FreeBSD, a number of Linux distributions, etc. Some web hosting companies provide dedicated servers using one given Operating System, while others give customers an alternative. MSSQL databases and .NET websites require a Windows web server, for instance, and will not function on a different Operating System, whereas PHP and HTML driven websites utilizing MySQL databases will run on any OS. Prior to leasing a dedicated hosting server, learn what the web hosting firm provides and what the needs of your website are.

Software Applications for Dedicated Servers

By default, each dedicated hosting server includes all the software platforms required to manage a site - a web server, database software (MySQL, MSSQL, PostgreSQL, and so on), PHP software, FTP server software and so on, so as soon as you get the dedicated hosting server, you can upload your web files and take the website online. Most hosting vendors grant full root privileges, in other words you can activate any software apps on the dedicated hosting server and change any settings. Particular script-based platforms need server-side apps that should be pre-activated in order for them to work. Plenty of shopping cart scripts, for example, impose such a precondition, and being offered root access to the dedicated hosting server is key for kicking off an online store. Other web hosting companies do not offer full root privileges, but help the customer activate the required software - this is the so-called managed web hosting solution, as compared with the unmanaged web hosting solution, which includes root access.
