Dedicated Plans Explanation

Free and paid shared plans are one of the most commonly used website hosting products on the marketplace. They are okay for small-size web portals that do not necessitate plenty of system resources and do not get that many visitors, but for resource-consuming web portals with many thousands of web site visitors, a more advanced platform is necessary. If you are looking for a steady, leading-edge hosting solution that can tackle even millions of everyday hits, a dedicated server is your most appropriate alternative.

Handle the Intense Load Created by Your Sites with a Dedicated Server

With the dedicated web hosting service, you lease an entire physical machine whose system resources will be utilized solely by your web sites. Just like any personal computer, each dedicated server has one or more microprocessors running at a certain speed, a particular amount of RAM, one or more hard disks, and so on. A dedicated hosting server is in fact a computer with a hardware configuration aimed to handle heavy load and specific software activated on it, such as a web server, PHP and MySQL software platforms, etc., which permits the sites accommodated on it to be accessible on the World Wide Web.

Managed Dedicated Hosting Solutions

A dedicated server can be administered either by the hosting distributor, or by the client, on the basis of the given dedicated server package. In either case, the side administering the dedicated web hosting server has access to a software tool to reboot it at any time. Management is carried out via a Control Panel GUI that enables you to keep track of the processes running on the web server.

Operating Systems for Dedicated Servers

There are different web hosting server Operating Systems like Windows, FreeBSD, a variety of Linux distributions, and so on. Certain hosts provide dedicated servers using one given Operating System, while others offer clients a choice. MSSQL databases and .NET websites necessitate a Windows server, for example, and will not run on a different Operating System, whereas PHP and HTML based web sites using MySQL databases will work on any OS. Prior to leasing a dedicated server, check what the provider offers and what the requirements of your web site are.

Software Apps for Dedicated Servers

By default, each dedicated server offers all the software needed to run a website - a web server, database software (MySQL, MSSQL, PostgreSQL, and so on), PHP software, FTP server software and so on, so once you get the dedicated hosting server, you can upload your website files and get the website online. The majority of web hosting suppliers grant root-level access, in other words you can install any software applications on the dedicated server and update any settings. Some script-based software platforms need server-side apps that should be pre-installed in order for them to operate. Plenty of shopping cart software scripts, for example, have such a precondition, and obtaining complete server root access to the dedicated server is key for managing an online storefront. Other hosting firms do not provide root access, but help the customer activate the needed software applications - this is the so-called managed hosting solution, as compared with the unmanaged hosting solution, which includes root-level access.
