Dedicated Servers Clarified

Free and paid shared packages are among the most popular website hosting solutions on the marketplace.

Tackle the Intense Load Generated by Your Sites with a Dedicated Server

Just like any personal computer, each dedicated server has one or more central processing units operating at a specific speed, a particular amount of RAM memory, one or more hard disk drives, and so on. A hosting server is actually a computer with hardware meant to cope with heavy load and specific software installed on it, like a web server, PHP and MySQL software, and so on, which allows the websites accommodated on it to be accessible on the web.

Managed Dedicated Servers Hosting Solutions

A dedicated server can be managed either by the provider, or by the customer, on the basis of the particular dedicated server plan. In either situation, the side handling the web hosting server has access to a software platform to reboot it at any moment. Administration is carried out via a hosting CP graphical interface that permits you to keep track of the processes running on the web hosting server.

OSs for Dedicated Servers

There are various web hosting server Operating Systems like Windows, FreeBSD, different Linux distributions, and so on. Given providers offer dedicated servers utilizing one particular OS, whereas others offer clients an option. MSSQL databases and .NET sites demand a Windows web server, for instance, and will not operate on another OS, while PHP and HTML based sites using MySQL databases will operate on any Operating System. Before renting a dedicated server, check what the web hosting service provider provides and what the needs of your web site are.

Software Applications for Dedicated Servers

By default, each dedicated server includes all the software platforms required to administer a site - a web server, database software (MySQL, MSSQL, PostgreSQL, and so on), PHP software, an FTP server and so on, so once you get the dedicated server, you can upload your files and bring the website online. Most web hosting service providers grant full root access, in other words you can activate any software on the dedicated server and update any settings. Specific script-powered platforms require server-side apps that should be pre-installed in order for them to run. Lots of e-commerce software scripts, for instance, have such a requirement, and being given full root access to the dedicated server is vital for setting up an online shop. Other hosting distributors do not provide root privileges, but help the customer activate the required software applications - this is the so-called managed hosting solution, as differentiated from the unmanaged hosting solution, which comes with complete root-level access.
