Dedicated Hosting Plans Unveiled

Free and paid shared plans are among the most widely used website hosting solutions on the market. They are splendid for small-scale web pages that do not demand a lot of system resources and do not draw that many viewers, but for resource-requiring web sites with many thousands of web site visitors, a more advanced platform is needed. If you are looking for a steady, no-holds-barred web hosting solution that can handle even 1 000 000's of everyday visits, a dedicated hosting is your most suitable option.

Handle the Load Created by Your Websites with a Dedicated Hosting Server

With the dedicated web server hosting service, you rent an entire hosting server whose system resources will be used solely by your websites. Just as any PC, each dedicated hosting server has one or more CPUs operating at a specific speed, some amount of memory, one or more hard disk drives, and so on. A dedicated web hosting server is in fact a computer with a hardware configuration designed to cope with heavy load and specific software activated on it, like web server software, PHP and MySQL software, and so on, which allows the websites stored on it to be visible on the World Wide Web.

Managed Dedicated Hosting Solutions

A dedicated hosting server can be managed either by the web hosting vendor, or by the client, based on the given dedicated hosting package. In either instance, the side handling the dedicated web hosting server has access to a software tool to reboot it at any specific time. Administration is carried out via a hosting Control Panel user interface that allows you to monitor the tasks running on the web hosting server.

Operating Systems for Dedicated Hosting

There are various server Operating Systems such as Windows, FreeBSD, a variety of Linux distributions, etc. Some hosting service providers provide dedicated hosting running one specific OS, while others offer clients a choice. MSSQL databases and .NET web sites necessitate a Windows server, for example, and will not operate on another OS, while PHP and HTML based websites utilizing MySQL databases will run on any Operating System. Prior to renting a dedicated hosting server, examine what the web hosting vendor provides and what the needs of your web site are.

Software Applications for Dedicated Hosting

By default, each dedicated hosting server offers all the software needed to manage a web site - a web server, database software (MySQL, MSSQL, PostgreSQL, etc.), PHP software, FTP server software and so on, so as soon as you obtain the dedicated server, you can upload your files and take the web site online. Most web hosts grant complete root-level access, i.e. you can install any software on the dedicated hosting server and update any settings. Given script-based software platforms require server-side apps that should be pre-activated in order for them to work. Plenty of shopping cart scripts, for example, have such a precondition, and obtaining root-level access to the dedicated hosting server is critical for managing a web storefront. Other web hosting companies do not offer full server root access, but help the client activate the needed software applications - this is the so-called managed hosting solution, as compared with the unmanaged web hosting service, which includes root-level access.
