Dedicated Hosting Uncovered
Free and paid shared packages are one of the most famous hosting solutions on the market. They are OK for small-sized sites that do not require a lot of system resources and do not get that many viewers, but for high resource-absorbing web portals with many 1000's of visitors, a more powerful platform is required. If you desire a steady, avant-garde web hosting solution that can cope with even 1 000 000's of daily hits, a dedicated hosting is your finest choice.
Tackle the Heavy Load Generated by Your Websites with a Dedicated Hosting Server
With the dedicated web hosting service, you rent a whole physical server whose resources will be used only by your sites. Just as any PC, each dedicated hosting server has one or more microprocessors operating at a given speed, a specific amount of RAM memory, one or more disk drives, and so on. A dedicated web server is indeed a computer with hardware aimed to tackle heavy load and specific software activated on it, like a web server, PHP and MySQL software platforms, etc., which permits the web sites hosted on it to be reachable on the World Wide Web.
Managed Dedicated Hosting Solutions
A dedicated hosting server can be managed either by the hosting distributor, or by the client, based on the specific dedicated hosting plan. In either instance, the side administering the server has access to a software platform to reboot it at any specific moment. Administration is done through a Control Panel user interface that allows you to supervise the tasks running on the dedicated web server.
OSs for Dedicated Hosting
There are various hosting server OSs like Windows, FreeBSD, an array of Linux distributions, and so on. Particular hosting firms offer dedicated hosting using one specific Operating System, whereas others give customers an alternative. MSSQL databases and .NET web sites need a Windows server, for instance, and will not perform on another OS, while PHP and HTML based web sites using MySQL databases will function on any Operating System. Before leasing a dedicated hosting server, find out what the web hosting company provides and what the needs of your website are.
Software Apps for Dedicated Hosting
By default, each dedicated hosting server comes with all the software platforms needed in order to administer a site - a web server, database software (MySQL, MSSQL, PostgreSQL, and so on), PHP software, an FTP server and so on, so as soon as you get the dedicated hosting server, you can upload your web files and bring the site online. The majority of web hosts offer complete server root access, i.e. you can install any software apps on the dedicated hosting server and revise any settings. Some script-based platforms need server-side applications that should be pre-activated in order for them to work. Different shopping cart scripts, for instance, involve such a requirement, and being provided with full root-level access to the dedicated hosting server is decisive for having an online storefront. Other web hosts do not provide full server root access, but help the customer activate the necessary software - this is the so-called managed hosting service, as distinguished from the unmanaged web hosting solution, which comes with root-level access.
