Description of Dedicated Server Plans

Free and paid shared packages are among the most popular website hosting products on the marketplace. They are suitable for small-sized web portals that do not request lots of resources and do not have that many visitors, but for high resource-consuming websites with many 1000's of viewers, a more advanced platform is required. If you desire a solid, cutting-edge shared hosting solution that can cope with even 1 000 000's of daily hits, a dedicated server is your most suitable choice.

Tackle the Load Generated by Your Websites with a Dedicated Server

With the dedicated server web hosting service, you rent a whole machine whose system resources will be used only by your web sites. Just as any personal computer, each dedicated server has one or more CPUs operating at a particular speed, a given amount of RAM, one or more disk drives, etc. A dedicated web server is actually a computer with hardware meant to tackle heavy load and given software activated on it, such as web server software, PHP and MySQL software platforms, and so on, which allows the sites stored on it to be visible on the Internet.

Managed Dedicated Servers Hosting Solutions

A dedicated server can be managed either by the hosting company, or by the customer, on the basis of the particular dedicated server plan. In either case, the party administering the physical server has access to a software platform to restart it at any given time. Administration is done via a hosting CP graphical interface that permits you to monitor the processes running on the server.

Operating Systems for Dedicated Servers

There are different server OSs such as Windows, FreeBSD, a number of Linux distributions, and so on. Given web hosting distributors provide dedicated servers using one given OS, while others give customers a choice. MSSQL databases and .NET websites require a Windows server, for example, and will not function on another Operating System, whereas PHP and HTML based websites using MySQL databases will work on any Operating System. Prior to leasing a dedicated server, learn what the web hosting firm provides and what the needs of your web site are.

Software Applications for Dedicated Servers

By default, each dedicated server includes all the software apps needed in order to administer a web site - web server software, database software (MySQL, MSSQL, PostgreSQL, etc.), PHP software, FTP server software and so on, so as soon as you obtain the dedicated web hosting server, you can upload your web files and get the website online. Most web hosting firms give full root privileges, i.e. you can install any software apps on the dedicated server and change any settings. Given script-driven software platforms require server-side apps that should be pre-installed in order for them to run. Different e-commerce scripts, for example, include such a requirement, and being offered complete root-level access to the dedicated server is vital for running a web storefront. Other hosting firms do not provide full root-level access, but help the customer activate the required software applications - this is the so-called managed hosting solution, as compared with the unmanaged hosting service, which includes full root-level access.
