How Does Dedicated Hosting Function?

Free and paid shared plans are among the most famous website hosting solutions on the marketplace. They are okay for small-size web pages that do not need plenty of system resources and do not attract that many website visitors, but for high resource-consuming sites with many 1000's of visitors, a more advanced platform is necessary. If you are looking for a solid, cutting-edge shared hosting solution that can deal with even millions of everyday hits, a dedicated hosting is your best choice.

Tackle the Intense Load Caused by Your Web Sites with a Dedicated Hosting Server

With the dedicated web hosting service, you lease an entire machine whose system resources will be used only by your web sites. Just like any personal computer, each dedicated hosting server has one or more processing units running at a specific speed, a particular amount of memory, one or more disk drives, and so on. A server is actually a computer with hardware aimed to cope with high load and certain software activated on it, like web server software, PHP and MySQL software platforms, and so on, which allows the web sites accommodated on it to be accessible on the World Wide Web.

Managed Dedicated Hosting Services

A dedicated hosting server can be administered either by the web hosting company, or by the customer, on the basis of the specific dedicated hosting package. In either instance, the party handling the dedicated server has access to a software tool to reboot it at any specific moment. Management is done via a hosting CP graphical interface that enables you to supervise the services running on the web server.

Operating Systems for Dedicated Hosting

There are various web server OSs like Windows, FreeBSD, a variety of Linux distributions, etc. Certain web hosting distributors provide dedicated hosting running one particular Operating System, while others give clients an alternative. MSSQL databases and .NET web sites need a Windows web server, for instance, and will not perform on a different Operating System, whereas PHP and HTML driven websites utilizing MySQL databases will function on any Operating System. Prior to renting a dedicated hosting server, examine what the hosting corporation offers and what the requirements of your web site are.

Software Platforms for Dedicated Hosting

By default, each dedicated hosting server offers all the software needed in order to manage a site - a web server, database software (MySQL, MSSQL, PostgreSQL, etc.), PHP software, an FTP server and so on, so once you get the dedicated machine, you can upload your files and bring the web site online. Most hosting distributors give root-level access, in other words you can install any software apps on the dedicated hosting server and alter any settings. Specific script-powered software platforms require server-side apps that should be pre-activated in order for them to function. Lots of e-commerce scripts, for instance, impose such a precondition, and obtaining full root-level access to the dedicated hosting server is vital for kicking off a web store. Other hosts do not provide full root privileges, but help the customer activate the necessary software platforms - this is the so-called managed hosting solution, as differentiated from the unmanaged hosting solution, which comes with complete server root access.
