Definition of Dedicated Web Hosting

Free and paid shared plans are one of the most widespread website hosting solutions on the marketplace. They are great for small-sized web sites that do not request a lot of system resources and do not get that many visitors, but for high resource-demanding websites with many 1000's of web site visitors, a more powerful platform is needed. If you desire a dependable, top-drawer website hosting platform that can handle even 1 000 000's of everyday visits, a dedicated web hosting is your most excellent option.

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

With the dedicated web hosting solution, you lease a whole server whose system resources will be used solely by your sites. Just as any PC, each dedicated web hosting server has one or more central processing units running at a certain speed, a certain amount of memory, one or more hard disks, and so on. A dedicated web server is indeed a computer with a hardware configuration intended to cope with intense load and specific software activated on it, like a web server, PHP and MySQL software, etc., which permits the sites stored on it to be available on the Internet.

Managed Dedicated Web Hosting Services

A dedicated web hosting server can be administered either by the hosting firm, or by the customer, depending on the particular dedicated web hosting plan. In either case, the side managing the web hosting server has access to a software tool to restart it at any given moment. Management is done through a web hosting Control Panel graphical interface that enables you to keep track of the services running on the dedicated machine.

Operating Systems for Dedicated Web Hosting

There are various web hosting server OSs such as Windows, FreeBSD, a number of Linux distributions, and so on. Some hosting service providers offer dedicated web hosting using one particular OS, whereas others give customers an option. MSSQL databases and .NET sites request a Windows web server, for example, and will not function on a different OS, whereas PHP and HTML driven websites using MySQL databases will work on any OS. Before leasing a dedicated web hosting server, learn what the hosting supplier offers and what the needs of your site are.

Software Platforms for Dedicated Web Hosting

By default, each dedicated web hosting server includes all the software platforms needed to run a site - web server software, database software (MySQL, MSSQL, PostgreSQL, and so on), PHP software, an FTP server and so on, so the moment you obtain the dedicated server, you can upload your web site files and take the site online. The majority of web hosting suppliers provide full root privileges, in other words you can install any software on the dedicated web hosting server and change any settings. Specific script-based software platforms need server-side applications that should be pre-installed in order for them to work. Many shopping cart software scripts, for instance, include such a requirement, and being provided with complete server root access to the dedicated web hosting server is critical for running an online storefront. Other web hosting providers do not offer full root privileges, but help the client install the required software applications - this is the so-called managed hosting solution, as differentiated from the unmanaged web hosting service, which includes complete root access.
