What are Dedicated Hosting Servers?

Free and paid shared plans are one of the most extensively used website hosting solutions on the marketplace. They are splendid for small web sites that do not need lots of resources and do not receive that many visitors, but for heavy resource-absorbing websites with many 1000's of viewers, a more advanced solution is demanded. If you need a powerful, no-holds-barred shared hosting platform that can handle even 1 000 000's of everyday hits, a dedicated server is your most suitable choice.

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

With the dedicated web server hosting service, you rent an entire web hosting server whose resources will be used solely by your websites. Just like any personal computer, each dedicated hosting server has one or more central processing units running at a given speed, a specific amount of RAM, one or more disk drives, etc. A hosting server is in fact a computer with hardware intended to cope with intense load and given software activated on it, like web server software, PHP and MySQL software platforms, etc., which permits the web sites hosted on it to be reachable on the Internet.

Managed Dedicated Servers Hosting Services

A dedicated hosting server can be managed either by the web hosting company, or by the client, on the basis of the given dedicated server plan. In either case, the side handling the physical server has access to a software tool to restart it at any specific time. Management is carried out via a CP graphical interface that enables you to check the processes running on the dedicated machine.

Operating Systems for Dedicated Servers

There are various hosting server Operating Systems such as Windows, FreeBSD, a variety of Linux distributions, and so on. Particular hosting providers provide dedicated servers running one specific OS, while others give clients an alternative. MSSQL databases and .NET web sites need a Windows server, for instance, and will not run on a different OS, whereas PHP and HTML driven websites using MySQL databases will perform on any OS. Before leasing a dedicated hosting server, check what the hosting provider provides and what the needs of your site are.

Software Apps for Dedicated Servers

By default, each dedicated hosting server offers all the software apps needed to manage a website - web server software, database software (MySQL, MSSQL, PostgreSQL, and so on), PHP software, an FTP server and so on, so once you get the dedicated web hosting server, you can upload your web files and bring the web site online. The majority of hosting vendors grant root access, in other words you can activate any software apps on the dedicated hosting server and revise any settings. Specific script-driven software platforms require server-side applications that should be pre-installed in order for them to work. Different e-commerce software scripts, for instance, have such a precondition, and being granted full root-level access to the dedicated hosting server is essential for having a web store. Other hosting providers do not grant complete server root access, but help the customer activate the needed software - this is the so-called managed web hosting service, as differentiated from the unmanaged hosting solution, which offers full root-level access.
