What is Dedicated Hosting?

Free and paid shared packages are among the most extensively used website hosting products on the marketplace. They are OK for small-scale websites that do not need plenty of resources and do not have that many website visitors, but for huge sites with many 1000's of viewers, a more advanced platform is needed. If you are searching for a rock steady, top-notch hosting solution that can deal with even millions of daily visits, a dedicated package is your most suitable option.

Handle the High Load Generated by Your Sites with a Dedicated Server

With the dedicated hosting service, you rent an entire server whose system resources will be utilized only by your web sites. Just like any personal computer, each dedicated server has one or more processing units functioning at a given speed, a certain amount of RAM memory, one or more hard disks, and so on. A dedicated web server is in fact a computer with a hardware configuration designed to tackle intense load and given software installed on it, such as a web server, PHP and MySQL software, and so on, which permits the sites hosted on it to be visible on the web.

A dedicated server can be administered either by the web hosting provider, or by the customer, depending on the particular dedicated package package. In either situation, the side managing the physical server has access to a software platform to reboot it at any particular time. Administration is carried out through a Control Panel graphical user interface that permits you to supervise the tasks running on the machine.

OSs for Dedicated Packages

There are different hosting server Operating Systems like Windows, FreeBSD, a number of Linux distributions, etc. Specific web hosting corporations provide dedicated packages running one specific Operating System, whereas others offer clients a choice. MSSQL databases and .NET sites necessitate a Windows server, for instance, and will not work on a different Operating System, whereas PHP and HTML driven web sites using MySQL databases will function on any OS. Before leasing a dedicated server, examine what the hosting corporation provides and what the necessities of your website are.

Software Platforms for Dedicated Packages

By default, each dedicated server offers all the software needed in order to run a web site - web server software, database software (MySQL, MSSQL, PostgreSQL, etc.), PHP software, an FTP server and so on, so the moment you obtain the hosting server, you can upload your files and get the site online. Most providers give root-level access, in other words you can activate any software applications on the dedicated server and alter any settings. Given script-based software platforms require server-side apps that should be pre-activated in order for them to work. Lots of e-commerce scripts, for example, involve such a requirement, and being granted complete server root access to the dedicated server is decisive for establishing an online store. Other hosting service providers do not give full root privileges, but help the client install the required software - this is the so-called managed hosting service, as differentiated from the unmanaged web hosting service, which comes with complete root access.
