Dedicated Web Hosting Definition

Free and paid shared plans are one of the most widespread web hosting products on the market. They are appropriate for small-sized online portals that do not request a lot of system resources and do not have that many visitors, but for resource-devouring websites with many 1000's of visitors, a more powerful platform is required. If you are seeking a robust, top-notch website hosting platform that can handle even millions of daily visits, a dedicated web hosting is your best choice.

Handle the Load Generated by Your Sites with a Dedicated Web Hosting Server

With the dedicated server hosting service, you lease an entire web hosting server whose resources will be used only by your sites. Just like any PC, each dedicated web hosting server has one or more processing units functioning at a given speed, a given amount of memory, one or more disk drives, and so on. A server is actually a computer with hardware aimed to cope with heavy load and given software installed on it, like web server software, PHP and MySQL software, and so on, which allows the sites accommodated on it to be visible on the World Wide Web.

Managed Dedicated Web Hosting Solutions

A dedicated web hosting server can be administered either by the hosting firm, or by the client, based on the given dedicated web hosting package. In either case, the side handling the dedicated server has access to a software tool to reboot it at any moment. Management is carried out via a CP graphical interface that permits you to supervise the services running on the dedicated hosting server.

OSs for Dedicated Web Hosting

There are different web server Operating Systems such as Windows, FreeBSD, various Linux distributions, etc. Certain web hosting providers provide dedicated web hosting running one given Operating System, whereas others offer clients an alternative. MSSQL databases and .NET web sites require a Windows server, for instance, and will not run on another OS, whereas PHP and HTML based websites using MySQL databases will run on any Operating System. Before renting a dedicated web hosting server, discover what the web hosting provider offers and what the needs of your website are.

Software Apps for Dedicated Web Hosting

By default, each dedicated web hosting server includes all the software platforms needed in order to manage a site - a web server, database software (MySQL, MSSQL, PostgreSQL, and so on), PHP software, an FTP server and so on, so the moment you get the web hosting server, you can upload your web site files and take the website online. The majority of hosts grant full root privileges, in other words you can install any software apps on the dedicated web hosting server and alter any settings. Specific script-based platforms need server-side applications that should be pre-activated in order for them to perform. Various shopping cart scripts, for example, impose such a precondition, and being offered root access to the dedicated web hosting server is decisive for developing a web store. Other hosting companies do not grant full server root privileges, but help the client activate the required software applications - this is the so-called managed hosting service, as differentiated from the unmanaged hosting solution, which comes with full server root access.
