What Exactly is Dedicated Hosting?

Free and paid shared plans are among the most widely used website hosting solutions on the marketplace. They are splendid for small sites that do not necessitate a lot of resources and do not attract that many viewers, but for popular websites with many 1000's of website visitors, a more advanced platform is required. If you want a steady, topflight shared hosting solution that can cope with even millions of everyday visits, a dedicated hosting is your best alternative.

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

With the dedicated server hosting service, you lease a whole server whose system resources will be used solely by your web sites. Just like any PC, each dedicated hosting server has one or more microprocessors functioning at a certain speed, a specific amount of memory, one or more hard disks, and so on. A dedicated hosting server is in fact a computer with hardware intended to tackle intense load and given software installed on it, such as web server software, PHP and MySQL software platforms, and so on, which allows the sites hosted on it to be available on the web.

Managed Dedicated Hosting Solutions

A dedicated hosting server can be administered either by the hosting provider, or by the customer, depending on the concrete dedicated hosting plan. In either instance, the side administering the physical machine has access to a software tool to reboot it at any particular moment. Management is done through a Control Panel graphical user interface that enables you to check the tasks running on the dedicated web hosting server.

OSs for Dedicated Hosting

There are different server Operating Systems such as Windows, FreeBSD, various Linux distributions, and so on. Certain hosting corporations offer dedicated hosting using one specific OS, while others offer customers an option. MSSQL databases and .NET sites need a Windows server, for example, and will not work on a different OS, whereas PHP and HTML driven websites using MySQL databases will function on any OS. Prior to leasing a dedicated hosting server, check what the hosting corporation provides and what the requirements of your website are.

Software Apps for Dedicated Hosting

By default, each dedicated hosting server includes all the software apps required to administer a website - web server software, database software (MySQL, MSSQL, PostgreSQL, and so on), PHP software, an FTP server and so on, so once you obtain the server, you can upload your web site files and get the website online. The majority of hosting vendors offer full root privileges, i.e. you can install any software on the dedicated hosting server and modify any settings. Certain script-based platforms require server-side libraries that should be pre-installed in order for them to run. Many shopping cart scripts, for instance, include such a requirement, and being offered full server root access to the dedicated hosting server is vital for launching an online store. Other web hosting providers do not grant root privileges, but help the customer install the required software applications - this is the so-called managed web hosting service, as compared to the unmanaged hosting solution, which comes with root privileges.
