Explanation of Dedicated Servers

Free and paid shared packages are one of the most famous website hosting solutions on the marketplace. They are okay for small-sized websites that do not request a lot of system resources and do not receive that many web site visitors, but for heavy resource-demanding web portals with many 1000's of visitors, a more advanced platform is needed. If you want a rock steady, first-rate hosting platform that can tackle even millions of everyday visits, a dedicated server is your most excellent alternative.

Tackle the Intense Load Created by Your Websites with a Dedicated Server

With the dedicated hosting solution, you rent a whole machine whose resources will be utilized only by your sites. Just as any computer, each dedicated server has one or more CPUs running at a particular speed, some amount of RAM memory, one or more hard disks, etc. A server is indeed a computer with a hardware configuration meant to handle high load and specific software installed on it, such as a web server, PHP and MySQL software, etc., which permits the sites stored on it to be available on the web.

Managed Dedicated Hosting Services

A dedicated server can be managed either by the web hosting supplier, or by the client, based on the given dedicated server package. In either instance, the side managing the physical machine has access to a software tool to reboot it at any specific moment. Management is done through a Control Panel tool that allows you to check the tasks running on the web hosting server.

OSs for Dedicated Servers

There are different server Operating Systems such as Windows, FreeBSD, different Linux distributions, and so on. Given hosts offer dedicated servers running one specific Operating System, while others give clients an alternative. MSSQL databases and .NET websites request a Windows web server, for example, and will not operate on a different OS, whereas PHP and HTML driven sites using MySQL databases will perform on any OS. Prior to renting a dedicated server, find out what the web hosting vendor provides and what the requirements of your site are.

Software Platforms for Dedicated Servers

By default, each dedicated server offers all the software required to manage 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 web hosting server, you can upload your files and get the website online. The majority of hosting distributors give root privileges, in other words you can activate any software on the dedicated server and revise any settings. Specific script-powered platforms require server-side libraries that should be pre-activated in order for them to operate. Lots of shopping cart scripts, for instance, include such a requirement, and being offered full root access to the dedicated server is critical for launching a web storefront. Other providers do not grant full server root privileges, but help the customer install the required software apps - this is the so-called managed hosting solution, as compared with the unmanaged hosting solution, which includes full server root access.
