Dedicated Web Hosting Explanation

Free and paid shared plans are one of the most extensively used website hosting solutions on the market. They are suitable for small websites that do not require plenty of resources and do not have that many web site visitors, but for heavy resource-requiring web portals with many thousands of visitors, a more advanced solution is required. If you desire a stable, no-holds-barred website hosting platform that can handle even millions of everyday hits, a dedicated web hosting is your best choice.

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

With the dedicated web server hosting solution, you lease a whole web server whose system resources will be utilized solely by your web sites. Just as any computer, each dedicated web hosting server has one or more microprocessors operating at a specific speed, some amount of RAM, one or more hard disks, and so on. A dedicated hosting server is actually a computer with hardware intended to handle high load and specific software installed on it, such as a web server, PHP and MySQL software platforms, and so on, which permits the websites stored on it to be available on the Internet.

Managed Dedicated Web Hosting Services

A dedicated web hosting server can be managed either by the web hosting company, or by the customer, depending on the specific dedicated web hosting plan. In either situation, the side administering the physical server has access to a software tool to restart it at any particular moment. Administration is carried out via a hosting Control Panel tool that permits you to supervise the tasks running on the dedicated server.

Operating Systems for Dedicated Web Hosting

There are various server Operating Systems such as Windows, FreeBSD, a number of Linux distributions, etc. Some hosting companies provide dedicated web hosting running one particular Operating System, whereas others offer clients an alternative. MSSQL databases and .NET web sites need a Windows web server, for instance, and will not run on a different Operating System, whereas PHP and HTML based sites utilizing MySQL databases will perform on any OS. Prior to leasing a dedicated web hosting server, learn what the hosting supplier provides and what the needs of your site are.

Software Applications for Dedicated Web Hosting

By default, each dedicated web hosting server includes all the software apps needed to run a web site - web server software, database software (MySQL, MSSQL, PostgreSQL, etc.), PHP software, an FTP server and so on, so as soon as you obtain the server, you can upload your web site files and take the website online. The majority of hosting suppliers give root-level access, in other words you can install any software applications on the dedicated web hosting server and revise any settings. Specific script-driven software platforms require server-side applications that should be pre-activated in order for them to perform. Various shopping cart scripts, for example, include such a requirement, and obtaining full server root access to the dedicated web hosting server is crucial for running a web store. Other web hosting providers do not offer root access, but help the client install the required software - this is the so-called managed hosting service, as compared with the unmanaged web hosting solution, which comes with full root access.
