Description of Dedicated Servers

Free and paid shared packages are one of the most extensively used web hosting solutions on the marketplace.

If you are seeking a rock steady, top-class shared hosting solution that can handle even millions of daily hits, a dedicated server is your most suitable choice.

Handle the Load Created by Your Websites with a Dedicated Server

With the dedicated service, you lease an entire web hosting server whose system resources will be utilized only by your web sites. Just like any PC, each dedicated server has one or more processors operating at a certain speed, a certain amount of RAM memory, one or more disk drives, etc. A hosting server is in fact a computer with hardware intended to tackle heavy load and certain software installed on it, such as web server software, PHP and MySQL software platforms, etc., which permits the web sites stored on it to be available on the web.

Managed Dedicated Servers Hosting Services

A dedicated server can be managed either by the web hosting provider, or by the client, depending on the given dedicated server package. In either case, the party administering the physical server has access to a software tool to restart it at any specific time. Management is done through a hosting CP user interface that enables you to keep track of the services running on the physical server.

Operating Systems for Dedicated Servers

There are various web server Operating Systems like Windows, FreeBSD, an array of Linux distributions, etc. Some hosts offer dedicated servers running one specific Operating System, while others give clients a choice. MSSQL databases and .NET web sites necessitate a Windows server, for example, and will not operate on a different Operating System, while PHP and HTML based sites utilizing MySQL databases will work on any Operating System. Before leasing a dedicated server, learn what the web hosting service provider provides and what the requirements of your website are.

Software Apps for Dedicated Servers

By default, each dedicated server includes all the software platforms needed in order to administer a web site - a web server, database software (MySQL, MSSQL, PostgreSQL, and so on), PHP software, an FTP server and so on, so the moment you obtain the web server, you can upload your website files and get the website online. The majority of web hosting service providers provide complete root access, in other words you can activate any software on the dedicated server and revise any settings. Given script-powered platforms need server-side libraries that should be pre-activated in order for them to operate. Lots of shopping cart scripts, for example, impose such a precondition, and receiving complete root access to the dedicated server is decisive for building an online storefront. Other web hosting service providers do not grant full root-level access, but help the customer install the necessary software apps - this is the so-called managed hosting service, as compared to the unmanaged hosting solution, which includes full server root privileges.
