Dedicated Hosting Plans Explanation

Free and paid shared plans are among the most widely used web hosting products on the market. They are good for small sites that do not necessitate plenty of resources and do not have that many web site visitors, but for resource-requiring websites with many 1000's of web site visitors, a more powerful platform is necessary. If you are searching for a rock solid, top-quality web hosting platform that can cope with even millions of everyday visits, a dedicated hosting is your most excellent option.

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

With the dedicated solution, you lease a whole machine whose system resources will be used only by your websites. Just like any computer, each dedicated hosting server has one or more processors functioning at a certain speed, a specific amount of memory, one or more hard drives, and so on. A hosting server is in fact a computer with hardware designed to handle high load and specific software installed on it, like a web server, PHP and MySQL software, etc., which permits the web sites accommodated on it to be available on the World Wide Web.

Managed Dedicated Hosting Services

A dedicated hosting server can be managed either by the provider, or by the client, based on the concrete dedicated hosting plan. In either situation, the side administering the dedicated web server has access to a software platform to reboot it at any given moment. Administration is carried out via a hosting Control Panel interface that enables you to monitor the services running on the dedicated server.

Operating Systems for Dedicated Hosting

There are various web server Operating Systems such as Windows, FreeBSD, different Linux distributions, and so on. Some web hosting providers provide dedicated hosting using one particular OS, whereas others offer customers a choice. MSSQL databases and .NET websites need a Windows server, for instance, and will not function on another OS, while PHP and HTML driven web sites using MySQL databases will operate on any Operating System. Prior to renting a dedicated hosting server, discover what the hosting corporation provides and what the requirements of your site are.

Software Apps for Dedicated Hosting

By default, each dedicated hosting server offers all the software needed in order to administer a website - web server software, database software (MySQL, MSSQL, PostgreSQL, etc.), PHP software, an FTP server and so on, so the moment you obtain the dedicated web server, you can upload your website files and take the web site online. The majority of hosting providers provide complete server root access, i.e. you can activate any software on the dedicated hosting server and update any settings. Some script-based software platforms need server-side libraries that should be pre-activated in order for them to work. Lots of shopping cart software scripts, for example, involve such a requirement, and being supplied with full root access to the dedicated hosting server is key for launching a web store. Other web hosting companies do not offer complete root access, but help the client install the needed software apps - this is the so-called managed web hosting service, as compared to the unmanaged web hosting solution, which comes with full server root privileges.
