Explanation of Dedicated Hosting Packages

Free and paid shared packages are one of the most famous hosting solutions on the market. They are splendid for small-sized sites that do not demand plenty of resources and do not receive that many web site visitors, but for heavy resource-consuming sites with many thousands of website visitors, a more powerful solution is needed. If you require a reliable, top-drawer web hosting solution that can tackle even 1 000 000's of daily visits, a dedicated hosting is your finest option.

Handle the Intense Load Caused by Your Websites with a Dedicated Hosting Server

With the dedicated web hosting service, you rent a whole machine whose system resources will be utilized only by your websites. Just as any PC, each dedicated hosting server has one or more central processing units functioning at a certain speed, a particular amount of RAM memory, one or more disk drives, etc. A web hosting server is actually a computer with a hardware configuration aimed to cope with heavy load and certain software installed on it, like web server software, PHP and MySQL software platforms, and so on, which allows the web sites hosted on it to be reachable on the web.

Managed Dedicated Hosting Services

A dedicated hosting server can be administered either by the hosting corporation, or by the client, on the basis of the concrete dedicated hosting plan. In either situation, the party managing the web hosting server has access to a software platform to restart it at any given moment. Administration is done via a hosting Control Panel GUI that allows you to supervise the services running on the machine.

OSs for Dedicated Hosting

There are different hosting server OSs such as Windows, FreeBSD, an array of Linux distributions, etc. Some hosting companies offer dedicated hosting using one specific OS, whereas others offer customers an alternative. MSSQL databases and .NET sites need a Windows web server, for example, and will not perform on another OS, whereas PHP and HTML based web sites using MySQL databases will function on any Operating System. Prior to leasing a dedicated hosting server, check what the web hosting company offers and what the necessities of your site are.

Software Applications for Dedicated Hosting

By default, each dedicated hosting server includes all the software platforms required to manage a web site - a web server, database software (MySQL, MSSQL, PostgreSQL, etc.), PHP software, an FTP server and so on, so once you obtain the dedicated web hosting server, you can upload your website files and bring the site online. Most web hosting firms offer root access, in other words you can activate any software applications on the dedicated hosting server and revise any settings. Given script-driven platforms need server-side apps that should be pre-activated in order for them to perform. Plenty of e-commerce scripts, for example, impose such a precondition, and gaining full server root access to the dedicated hosting server is key for kicking off a web shop. Other web hosting vendors do not offer full server root privileges, but help the client activate the required software platforms - this is the so-called managed web hosting service, as compared to the unmanaged web hosting solution, which includes full root-level access.
