Dedicated Hosting Definition

Free and paid shared plans are one of the most commonly used web hosting products on the marketplace. They are appropriate for small-size websites that do not need lots of resources and do not receive that many visitors, but for large-scale websites with many thousands of viewers, a more advanced platform is demanded. If you are searching for an advanced, top-notch web hosting platform that can cope with even millions of everyday hits, a dedicated hosting is your most appropriate option.

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

With the dedicated web hosting service, you lease a whole web server whose resources will be used only by your sites. Just like any personal computer, each dedicated hosting server has one or more CPUs operating at a given speed, a specific amount of RAM memory, one or more hard disk drives, and so on. A server is in fact a computer with hardware designed to handle high load and specific 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 accessible on the web.

Managed Dedicated Hosting Services

A dedicated hosting server can be managed either by the hosting company, or by the customer, on the basis of the particular dedicated hosting plan. In either instance, the side managing the server has access to a software platform to restart it at any given time. Administration is done through a hosting Control Panel user interface that enables you to keep an eye on the processes running on the hosting server.

Operating Systems for Dedicated Hosting

There are various web server Operating Systems such as Windows, FreeBSD, a number of Linux distributions, and so on. Particular hosting service providers provide dedicated hosting using one specific OS, whereas others offer clients an alternative. MSSQL databases and .NET web sites demand a Windows server, for instance, and will not run on another OS, whereas PHP and HTML based web sites using MySQL databases will operate on any Operating System. Before renting a dedicated hosting server, check what the hosting service provider provides and what the requirements of your site are.

Software Applications for Dedicated Hosting

By default, each dedicated hosting server offers all the software platforms needed to administer a website - web server software, database software (MySQL, MSSQL, PostgreSQL, and so on), PHP software, FTP server software and so on, so the moment you get the web hosting server, you can upload your files and get the website online. Most hosting suppliers provide root-level access, in other words you can activate any software apps on the dedicated hosting server and alter any settings. Given script-driven software platforms require server-side libraries that should be pre-installed in order for them to operate. Many e-commerce scripts, for instance, include such a requirement, and receiving root access to the dedicated hosting server is critical for having an online shop. Other web hosting firms do not give full root access, but help the client install the needed software apps - this is the so-called managed web hosting service, as compared to the unmanaged hosting service, which comes with root access.
