What Actually are Dedicated Web Hosting Servers?

Free and paid shared packages are one of the most widespread website hosting solutions on the market. They are applicable for small-sized web sites that do not request plenty of resources and do not attract that many website visitors, but for heavy resource-consuming sites with many 1000's of web site visitors, a more advanced solution is needed. If you desire a steady, top-quality website hosting platform that can deal with even 1 000 000's of everyday hits, a dedicated web hosting is your finest choice.

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

With the dedicated web server hosting service, you lease an entire web hosting server whose system resources will be used only by your web sites. Just like any computer, each dedicated web hosting server has one or more microprocessors running at a particular speed, a specific amount of memory, one or more disk drives, etc. A dedicated server is in fact a computer with a hardware configuration aimed to tackle high load and given software installed on it, such as a web server, PHP and MySQL software, etc., which allows the websites hosted on it to be accessible on the Internet.

Managed Dedicated Web Hosting Solutions

A dedicated web hosting server can be managed either by the hosting provider, or by the client, depending on the particular dedicated web hosting plan. In either instance, the side handling the dedicated hosting server has access to a software platform to restart it at any given moment. Management is carried out via a Control Panel interface that permits you to keep track of the processes running on the dedicated web server.

Operating Systems for Dedicated Web Hosting

There are different server Operating Systems like Windows, FreeBSD, different Linux distributions, etc. Some web hosting distributors provide dedicated web hosting utilizing one particular Operating System, while others offer customers a choice. MSSQL databases and .NET web sites need a Windows web server, for example, and will not run on another Operating System, whereas PHP and HTML based sites using MySQL databases will function on any Operating System. Before renting a dedicated web hosting server, check what the web hosting service provider offers and what the needs of your website are.

Software Applications for Dedicated Web Hosting

By default, each dedicated web hosting server comes with all the software platforms needed to run a site - a web server, database software (MySQL, MSSQL, PostgreSQL, etc.), PHP software, an FTP server and so on, so as soon as you obtain the hosting server, you can upload your web files and get the web site online. The majority of hosts provide full root-level access, in other words you can activate any software applications on the dedicated web hosting server and revise any settings. Certain script-driven software platforms require server-side libraries that should be pre-activated in order for them to operate. Many shopping cart scripts, for example, have such a precondition, and having full root-level access to the dedicated web hosting server is vital for having a web store. Other web hosting corporations do not give complete root-level access, but help the client install the necessary software applications - this is the so-called managed web hosting service, as distinguished from the unmanaged web hosting solution, which includes full root privileges.
