Dedicated Hosting Description

Free and paid shared packages are among the most famous website hosting products on the market. They are excellent for small-sized web portals that do not request lots of resources and do not receive that many viewers, but for resource-swallowing web portals with many 1000's of viewers, a more powerful platform is required. If you require a robust, first-rate hosting platform that can deal with even millions of everyday hits, a dedicated package is your most suitable alternative.

Tackle the Load Created by Your Websites with a Dedicated Server

With the dedicated web server hosting solution, you rent an entire web server whose resources will be used solely by your sites. Just like any computer, each dedicated server has one or more processing units operating at a specific speed, a particular amount of memory, one or more hard disks, etc. A dedicated web server is actually a computer with a hardware configuration aimed to cope with heavy load and given software installed on it, such as a web server, PHP and MySQL software platforms, and so on, which permits the web sites hosted on it to be visible on the Internet.

Managed Dedicated Hosting Services

A dedicated server can be managed either by the web hosting service provider, or by the client, on the basis of the concrete dedicated package package. In either situation, the party handling the web server has access to a software tool to restart it at any given moment. Management is done through a web hosting Control Panel interface that allows you to check the services running on the dedicated web hosting server.

Operating Systems for Dedicated Packages

There are various hosting server Operating Systems such as Windows, FreeBSD, an array of Linux distributions, etc. Some hosting distributors offer dedicated packages utilizing one particular OS, while others give customers an option. MSSQL databases and .NET sites request a Windows web server, for example, and will not work on a different Operating System, whereas PHP and HTML driven sites using MySQL databases will operate on any Operating System. Before leasing a dedicated server, find out what the web hosting corporation offers and what the requirements of your site are.

Software Apps for Dedicated Packages

By default, each dedicated server includes all the software apps needed to run a site - a web server, database software (MySQL, MSSQL, PostgreSQL, and so on), PHP software, FTP server software and so on, so the moment you obtain the server, you can upload your website files and bring the site online. The majority of hosting suppliers grant full root privileges, i.e. you can install any software applications on the dedicated server and alter any settings. Some script-driven software platforms require server-side applications that should be pre-activated in order for them to work. Lots of shopping cart scripts, for example, include such a requirement, and being granted full root access to the dedicated server is key for kicking off a web store. Other hosting suppliers do not give complete root access, but help the customer activate the needed software platforms - this is the so-called managed web hosting solution, as compared to the unmanaged web hosting service, which includes root privileges.

Dedicated Package by ''

The files on the dedicated server can be administered either through a Secure Shell (SSH) terminal or via a hosting Control Panel tool such as cPanel, DirectAdmin, Hepsia, and so on. There are 10's of CP graphical user interfaces in existence, and usually hosting suppliers offer a few of them, and with full root access at hand, the client can install any of them. All website files, databases, e-mails, access logs and script installations are managed easily via a GUI in a web browser, so no advanced knowledge is required. Certain CPs also include a reseller back office dashboard, so if you pick a dedicated server, you can not only host your web site files, but also offer shared website hosting plans to other individuals to gain profit.
