Definition of Dedicated Web Hosting

Free and paid shared packages are one of the most extensively used website hosting solutions on the market. They are good for small web sites that do not demand plenty of system resources and do not have that many visitors, but for huge websites with many thousands of website visitors, a more advanced platform is required. If you are looking for a dependable, leading-edge website hosting platform that can deal with even 1 000 000's of daily hits, a dedicated web hosting is your perfect option.

Handle the High Load Generated by Your Websites with a Dedicated Web Hosting Server

With the dedicated hosting service, you lease an entire machine whose resources will be utilized only by your websites. Just like any PC, each dedicated web hosting server has one or more CPUs running at a particular speed, some amount of memory, one or more hard disks, and so on. A dedicated server is in fact a computer with a hardware configuration designed to handle heavy load and certain software activated on it, such as web server software, PHP and MySQL software, and so on, which allows the sites accommodated on it to be reachable online.

Managed Dedicated Web Hosting Solutions

A dedicated web hosting server can be administered either by the web hosting firm, or by the customer, based on the given dedicated web hosting plan. In either instance, the party administering the physical machine has access to a software tool to reboot it at any specific moment. Management is carried out through a Control Panel graphical interface that allows you to keep an eye on the tasks running on the physical machine.

Operating Systems for Dedicated Web Hosting

There are different web hosting server OSs such as Windows, FreeBSD, an array of Linux distributions, etc. Specific web hosting distributors provide dedicated web hosting using one specific OS, whereas others give clients an option. MSSQL databases and .NET web sites necessitate a Windows web server, for instance, and will not work on a different Operating System, while PHP and HTML based web sites utilizing MySQL databases will function on any Operating System. Prior to leasing a dedicated web hosting server, find out what the web hosting distributor provides and what the requirements of your website are.

Software Apps for Dedicated Web Hosting

By default, each dedicated web hosting server offers all the software required to manage a website - web server software, database software (MySQL, MSSQL, PostgreSQL, and so on), PHP software, an FTP server and so on, so once you get the dedicated hosting server, you can upload your web site files and get the site online. Most hosting providers offer complete root-level access, i.e. you can activate any software platforms on the dedicated web hosting server and modify any settings. Some script-powered software platforms require server-side apps that should be pre-installed in order for them to perform. A lot of shopping cart software scripts, for example, impose such a requirement, and being granted complete root-level access to the dedicated web hosting server is critical for kicking off a web store. Other web hosting vendors do not give root access, but help the customer activate the necessary software applications - this is the so-called managed hosting solution, as compared with the unmanaged web hosting service, which comes with complete root access.
