How Dedicated Hosting Servers Operate

Free and paid shared packages are one of the most widely used hosting solutions on the market. They are good for small-scale web sites that do not demand lots of resources and do not draw that many website visitors, but for resource-requiring sites with many 1000's of website visitors, a more advanced solution is needed. If you need a steady, no-holds-barred shared hosting solution that can handle even millions of everyday hits, a dedicated server is your most appropriate option.

Tackle the Intense Load Caused by Your Web Sites with a Dedicated Hosting Server

With the dedicated service, you rent a whole machine whose resources will be utilized solely by your web sites. Just like any computer, each dedicated hosting server has one or more CPUs functioning at a specific speed, a given amount of RAM memory, one or more hard disk drives, and so on. A dedicated hosting server is actually a computer with a hardware configuration aimed to handle heavy load and some software installed on it, such as a web server, PHP and MySQL software platforms, etc., which allows the sites hosted on it to be accessible on the web.

Managed Dedicated Servers Hosting Solutions

A dedicated hosting server can be managed either by the web hosting corporation, or by the customer, on the basis of the given dedicated server package. In either case, the party managing the server has access to a software platform to restart it at any specific time. Management is done via a hosting CP tool that allows you to supervise the services running on the dedicated web server.

OSs for Dedicated Servers

There are different web hosting server Operating Systems like Windows, FreeBSD, a variety of Linux distributions, and so on. Specific hosting companies provide dedicated servers running one particular OS, while others offer customers an alternative. MSSQL databases and .NET sites need a Windows web server, for instance, and will not work on another Operating System, while PHP and HTML driven sites utilizing MySQL databases will function on any OS. Prior to renting a dedicated hosting server, check what the hosting corporation provides and what the needs of your website are.

Software Apps for Dedicated Servers

By default, each dedicated hosting server offers all the software apps needed in order to manage a website - a web server, database software (MySQL, MSSQL, PostgreSQL, and so on), PHP software, an FTP server and so on, so once you obtain the dedicated web server, you can upload your web files and bring the site online. Most hosting companies give complete root-level access, i.e. you can install any software on the dedicated hosting server and update any settings. Certain script-driven software platforms require server-side libraries that should be pre-activated in order for them to run. Lots of e-commerce software scripts, for instance, have such a precondition, and being provided with full server root access to the dedicated hosting server is vital for building a web shop. Other hosting vendors do not give full root-level access, but help the customer install the necessary software platforms - this is the so-called managed hosting service, as compared to the unmanaged web hosting solution, which includes full server root access.
