Description of Dedicated Servers

Free and paid shared plans are among the most extensively used web hosting products on the marketplace. They are good for small-size sites that do not request plenty of system resources and do not receive that many visitors, but for heavy resource-demanding web sites with many thousands of visitors, a more advanced platform is demanded. If you want an advanced, cutting-edge shared hosting platform that can deal with even millions of daily visits, a dedicated server is your most appropriate option.

Handle the Intense Load Caused by Your Sites with a Dedicated Server

With the dedicated solution, you lease an entire web hosting server whose system resources will be utilized solely by your websites. Just like any personal computer, each dedicated server has one or more microprocessors running at a particular speed, a certain amount of RAM, one or more hard disk drives, etc. A dedicated hosting server is in fact a computer with a hardware configuration intended to handle intense load and certain software activated on it, such as a web server, PHP and MySQL software platforms, etc., which allows the web sites accommodated on it to be reachable online.

Managed Dedicated Hosting Solutions

A dedicated server can be managed either by the web hosting firm, or by the client, based on the concrete dedicated server plan. In either case, the side administering the dedicated server has access to a software platform to reboot it at any moment. Administration is carried out via a Control Panel graphical interface that allows you to keep track of the tasks running on the dedicated web server.

Operating Systems for Dedicated Servers

There are different web server Operating Systems like Windows, FreeBSD, a variety of Linux distributions, etc. Specific hosting companies provide dedicated servers utilizing one specific Operating System, while others offer customers an alternative. MSSQL databases and .NET sites request a Windows web server, for example, and will not run on a different OS, whereas PHP and HTML based web sites utilizing MySQL databases will work on any Operating System. Prior to leasing a dedicated server, check what the hosting corporation offers and what the necessities of your website are.

Software Applications for Dedicated Servers

By default, each dedicated server comes with all the software platforms needed to administer a site - a web server, database software (MySQL, MSSQL, PostgreSQL, etc.), PHP software, an FTP server and so on, so the moment you get the dedicated hosting server, you can upload your web site files and bring the website online. The majority of web hosting service providers offer complete server root access, in other words you can activate any software apps on the dedicated server and update any settings. Certain script-driven platforms require server-side libraries that should be pre-activated in order for them to run. Plenty of shopping cart software scripts, for example, include such a precondition, and being offered complete root-level access to the dedicated server is crucial for managing a web shop. Other hosting service providers do not give root access, but help the client activate the needed software applications - this is the so-called managed hosting service, as differentiated from the unmanaged hosting solution, which comes with full server root access.
