Definition of Dedicated Web Hosting

Free and paid shared plans are among the most widely used website hosting solutions on the market. They are suitable for small-sized online portals that do not request a lot of resources and do not receive that many web site visitors, but for heavy resource-devouring websites with many 1000's of visitors, a more powerful solution is needed. If you demand a solid, no-holds-barred website hosting platform that can deal with even millions of daily visits, a dedicated web hosting is your most appropriate alternative.

Handle the Heavy Load Caused by Your Web Sites with a Dedicated Web Hosting Server

With the dedicated server web hosting service, you lease an entire physical server whose resources will be utilized only by your websites. Just like any personal computer, each dedicated web hosting server has one or more processing units operating at a specific speed, a particular amount of RAM memory, one or more hard disk drives, and so on. A web server is indeed a computer with a hardware configuration meant to tackle high load and given software activated on it, such as web server software, PHP and MySQL software platforms, etc., which allows the websites accommodated on it to be accessible on the web.

Managed Dedicated Web Hosting Services

A dedicated web hosting server can be managed either by the host, or by the client, depending on the specific dedicated web hosting plan. In either instance, the side managing the dedicated hosting server has access to a software platform to reboot it at any time. Management is carried out via a Control Panel tool that enables you to check the processes running on the dedicated machine.

OSs for Dedicated Web Hosting

There are different hosting server OSs such as Windows, FreeBSD, different Linux distributions, etc. Given web hosting service providers provide dedicated web hosting utilizing one particular OS, while others offer clients an option. MSSQL databases and .NET sites demand a Windows server, for instance, and will not function on a different Operating System, whereas PHP and HTML driven web sites using MySQL databases will function on any Operating System. Before leasing a dedicated web hosting server, discover what the web host provides and what the needs of your site are.

Software Apps for Dedicated Web Hosting

By default, each dedicated web hosting server offers all the software apps needed to run a website - a web server, database software (MySQL, MSSQL, PostgreSQL, and so on), PHP software, FTP server software and so on, so once you obtain the dedicated server, you can upload your files and bring the website online. The majority of web hosting suppliers grant complete root-level access, i.e. you can activate any software on the dedicated web hosting server and revise any settings. Particular script-driven software platforms need server-side libraries that should be pre-installed in order for them to perform. Lots of shopping cart software scripts, for example, have such a precondition, and being bestowed with complete root access to the dedicated web hosting server is crucial for setting up a web shop. Other web hosting distributors do not provide root-level access, but help the customer activate the required software - this is the so-called managed web hosting service, as compared with the unmanaged web hosting service, which includes root access.
