Dedicated Hosting Plans Explanation

Free and paid shared plans are one of the most popular web hosting products on the marketplace. They are splendid for small-size web sites that do not request plenty of resources and do not have that many viewers, but for big online portals with many thousands of visitors, a more advanced solution is required. If you are looking for a rock steady, top-notch web hosting solution that can cope with even millions of everyday visits, a dedicated hosting is your most appropriate choice.

Tackle the High Load Created by Your Websites with a Dedicated Hosting Server

With the dedicated web hosting solution, you lease an entire machine whose system resources will be used only by your sites. Just as any personal computer, each dedicated hosting server has one or more processors functioning at a specific speed, some amount of memory, one or more hard disk drives, and so on. A web hosting server is actually a computer with hardware meant to tackle heavy load and specific software installed on it, such as web server software, PHP and MySQL software, etc., which permits the sites accommodated on it to be reachable online.

Managed Dedicated Hosting Services

A dedicated hosting server can be managed either by the hosting provider, or by the client, based on the specific dedicated hosting package. In either situation, the side administering the dedicated hosting server has access to a software tool to reboot it at any particular time. Administration is done through a CP user interface that allows you to check the services running on the machine.

Operating Systems for Dedicated Hosting

There are different web server Operating Systems like Windows, FreeBSD, a variety of Linux distributions, etc. Certain web hosting vendors provide dedicated hosting utilizing one particular Operating System, while others give customers a choice. MSSQL databases and .NET web sites demand a Windows server, for example, and will not perform on another Operating System, while PHP and HTML driven sites using MySQL databases will run on any OS. Prior to renting a dedicated hosting server, check what the hosting vendor offers and what the requirements of your web site are.

Software Applications for Dedicated Hosting

By default, each dedicated hosting server includes all the software needed in order to manage a website - a web server, database software (MySQL, MSSQL, PostgreSQL, etc.), PHP software, an FTP server and so on, so as soon as you obtain the dedicated machine, you can upload your web site files and get the web site online. The majority of web hosting providers grant complete server root access, in other words you can activate any software applications on the dedicated hosting server and revise any settings. Given script-powered platforms require server-side apps that should be pre-activated in order for them to perform. Different shopping cart scripts, for instance, involve such a precondition, and having complete root access to the dedicated hosting server is key for having an online storefront. Other hosting companies do not grant root privileges, but help the customer activate the necessary software applications - this is the so-called managed web hosting solution, as differentiated from the unmanaged hosting solution, which comes with full server root privileges.
