Dedicated Hosting Unveiled

Free and paid shared plans are among the most widespread website hosting products on the market.

If you demand an advanced, hi-end web hosting platform that can handle even millions of everyday hits, a dedicated hosting is your perfect alternative.

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

With the dedicated service, you rent an entire server whose system resources will be used only by your web sites. Just as any computer, each dedicated hosting server has one or more microprocessors operating at a given speed, some amount of RAM memory, one or more hard drives, and so on. A server is actually a computer with hardware aimed to cope with heavy load and given software installed on it, like a web server, PHP and MySQL software platforms, etc., which permits the websites stored on it to be accessible online.

Managed Dedicated Hosting Solutions

A dedicated hosting server can be managed either by the web hosting service provider, or by the customer, based on the specific dedicated hosting plan. In either case, the party handling the hosting server has access to a software platform to restart it at any time. Management is done through a Control Panel interface that enables you to supervise the processes running on the hosting server.

OSs for Dedicated Hosting

There are various web server Operating Systems such as Windows, FreeBSD, different Linux distributions, etc. Given hosting corporations provide dedicated hosting running one particular Operating System, while others give customers an alternative. MSSQL databases and .NET sites necessitate a Windows server, for example, and will not run on a different OS, whereas PHP and HTML driven web sites using MySQL databases will operate on any Operating System. Before leasing a dedicated hosting server, find out what the hosting corporation provides and what the needs of your site are.

Software Platforms for Dedicated Hosting

By default, each dedicated hosting server offers all the software required to run a website - a web server, database software (MySQL, MSSQL, PostgreSQL, etc.), PHP software, FTP server software and so on, so the moment you get the dedicated web server, you can upload your web files and take the site online. The majority of hosting vendors offer complete root access, in other words you can install any software on the dedicated hosting server and change any settings. Some script-based software platforms require server-side apps that should be pre-activated in order for them to perform. A lot of shopping cart software scripts, for example, include such a requirement, and being provided with complete root access to the dedicated hosting server is crucial for kicking off a web storefront. Other hosting providers do not provide root access, but help the customer install the required software platforms - this is the so-called managed web hosting service, as compared to the unmanaged web hosting service, which comes with full root-level access.
