Free and paid shared plans are one of the most widespread web hosting products on the market. They are perfect for small-sized web portals that do not demand plenty of system resources and do not have that many viewers, but for resource-absorbing web portals with many thousands of viewers, a more advanced solution is needed. If you are looking for a dependable, first-rate hosting solution that can handle even millions of daily hits, a dedicated server is your perfect choice.

Tackle the Heavy Load Generated by Your Websites with a Dedicated Server

With the dedicated server web hosting service, you rent a whole web server whose resources will be used solely by your websites. Just as any PC, each dedicated server has one or more central processing units functioning at a given speed, a given amount of RAM memory, one or more hard disks, etc. A dedicated hosting server is indeed a computer with a hardware configuration designed to tackle high load and some software installed on it, such as a web server, PHP and MySQL software, etc., which permits the websites stored on it to be visible on the World Wide Web.

Managed Dedicated Hosting Solutions

A dedicated server can be administered either by the hosting firm, or by the client, based on the specific dedicated server plan. In either situation, the party managing the machine has access to a software platform to reboot it at any specific moment. Management is carried out through a hosting CP graphical user interface that enables you to keep an eye on the processes running on the dedicated machine.

Operating Systems for Dedicated Servers

There are different hosting server OSs such as Windows, FreeBSD, an array of Linux distributions, and so on. Certain web hosting firms provide dedicated servers utilizing one given Operating System, while others offer customers a choice. MSSQL databases and .NET web sites request a Windows web server, for example, and will not function on another Operating System, while PHP and HTML driven websites using MySQL databases will perform on any Operating System. Before leasing a dedicated server, find out what the web hosting firm offers and what the needs of your site are.

Software Apps for Dedicated Servers

By default, each dedicated server comes with all the software apps required to administer a web site - a web server, database software (MySQL, MSSQL, PostgreSQL, etc.), PHP software, an FTP server and so on, so the moment you get the hosting server, you can upload your website files and take the site online. The majority of web hosting vendors give full root access, i.e. you can activate any software apps on the dedicated server and change any settings. Particular script-powered platforms need server-side libraries that should be pre-activated in order for them to work. Different e-commerce software scripts, for instance, impose such a requirement, and being given complete server root access to the dedicated server is critical for setting up an online shop. Other hosting providers do not grant full server root access, but help the customer install the required software - this is the so-called managed hosting service, as distinguished from the unmanaged hosting service, which comes with root-level access.
