How Dedicated Web Hosting Servers Work

Free and paid shared packages are one of the most widely used hosting solutions on the marketplace. They are okay for small web portals that do not demand plenty of resources and do not attract that many web site visitors, but for high resource-devouring sites with many 1000's of website visitors, a more powerful solution is required. If you need an advanced, leading-edge website hosting solution that can handle even 1 000 000's of everyday visits, a dedicated web hosting is your most suitable choice.

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

With the dedicated service, you rent a whole machine whose system resources will be utilized only by your sites. Just as any computer, each dedicated web hosting server has one or more processing units operating at a specific speed, some amount of memory, one or more hard disk drives, etc. A dedicated web server is in fact a computer with a hardware configuration intended to tackle intense load and certain software activated on it, like web server software, PHP and MySQL software platforms, and so on, which allows the sites hosted on it to be reachable online.

Managed Dedicated Web Hosting Services

A dedicated web hosting server can be administered either by the host, or by the customer, based on the concrete dedicated web hosting package. In either instance, the side managing the dedicated hosting server has access to a software tool to reboot it at any particular moment. Management is carried out through a web hosting CP graphical interface that allows you to keep track of the services running on the dedicated hosting server.

OSs for Dedicated Web Hosting

There are various server Operating Systems such as Windows, FreeBSD, different Linux distributions, and so on. Particular hosting providers offer dedicated web hosting utilizing one particular Operating System, whereas others give clients an alternative. MSSQL databases and .NET sites request a Windows server, for example, and will not function on another Operating System, whereas PHP and HTML driven web sites using MySQL databases will operate on any OS. Prior to leasing a dedicated web hosting server, discover what the web host provides and what the necessities of your site are.

Software Applications for Dedicated Web Hosting

By default, each dedicated web hosting server includes all the software platforms required in order to run a web site - a web server, database software (MySQL, MSSQL, PostgreSQL, and so on), PHP software, FTP server software and so on, so the moment you obtain the web hosting server, you can upload your web files and get the web site online. The majority of hosting companies grant full root access, in other words you can activate any software on the dedicated web hosting server and revise any settings. Some script-based software platforms require server-side libraries that should be pre-installed in order for them to perform. A lot of shopping cart scripts, for example, involve such a precondition, and being provided with complete root-level access to the dedicated web hosting server is critical for having a web store. Other web hosting distributors do not give full server root access, but help the client install the necessary software apps - this is the so-called managed hosting solution, as compared with the unmanaged hosting service, which offers root access.
