Dedicated Server Plans Explanation

Free and paid shared plans are one of the most commonly used website hosting solutions on the marketplace. They are great for small websites that do not need a lot of system resources and do not have that many website visitors, but for popular websites with many 1000's of viewers, a more advanced solution is needed. If you demand a reliable, first-class shared hosting solution that can deal with even millions of everyday hits, a dedicated server is your most suitable choice.

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

With the dedicated server web hosting solution, you rent a whole server whose resources will be used solely by your web sites. Just as any personal computer, each dedicated server has one or more processing units running at a specific speed, a given amount of RAM memory, one or more hard disks, etc. A web server is actually a computer with hardware meant to cope with high load and some software installed on it, such as a web server, PHP and MySQL software platforms, etc., which permits the sites hosted on it to be accessible on the Internet.

Managed Dedicated Servers Hosting Solutions

A dedicated server can be managed either by the hosting firm, or by the customer, on the basis of the particular dedicated server package. In either instance, the side handling the dedicated server has access to a software platform to restart it at any given moment. Administration is carried out via a web hosting Control Panel graphical user interface that allows you to keep track of the services running on the dedicated machine.

OSs for Dedicated Servers

There are different web server Operating Systems such as Windows, FreeBSD, various Linux distributions, and so on. Specific hosting suppliers offer dedicated servers utilizing one particular OS, whereas others offer clients an option. MSSQL databases and .NET websites need a Windows web server, for example, and will not run on another OS, while PHP and HTML based web sites utilizing MySQL databases will work on any OS. Before leasing a dedicated server, examine what the hosting corporation offers and what the necessities of your web site are.

Software Applications for Dedicated Servers

By default, each dedicated server offers all the software required to manage a web site - web server software, database software (MySQL, MSSQL, PostgreSQL, etc.), PHP software, FTP server software and so on, so as soon as you obtain the server, you can upload your web files and take the website online. The majority of hosting vendors give complete server root access, i.e. you can activate any software platforms on the dedicated server and alter any settings. Specific script-driven platforms require server-side apps that should be pre-activated in order for them to run. Plenty of shopping cart software scripts, for example, have such a precondition, and being granted full root-level access to the dedicated server is critical for launching an online store. Other web hosting service providers do not provide complete root-level access, but help the client install the needed software platforms - this is the so-called managed web hosting solution, as differentiated from the unmanaged hosting service, which includes full server root privileges.
