Dedicated Servers Definition

Free and paid shared plans are one of the most popular hosting solutions on the marketplace.

Just as any PC, each dedicated server has one or more processing units operating at a certain speed, a particular amount of RAM, one or more disk drives, and so on. A server is in fact a computer with hardware aimed to handle high load and certain software installed on it, like web server software, PHP and MySQL software, etc., which permits the sites hosted on it to be visible on the web.

Managed Dedicated Web Hosting Services

A dedicated server can be managed either by the hosting firm, or by the customer, depending on the specific dedicated web hosting package. In either instance, the party handling the machine has access to a software platform to restart it at any specific moment. Management is carried out through a hosting Control Panel graphical user interface that enables you to keep an eye on the services running on the dedicated web server.

Operating Systems for Dedicated Web Hosting

There are various hosting server OSs such as Windows, FreeBSD, an array of Linux distributions, etc. Given web hosting companies offer dedicated web hosting utilizing one given Operating System, while others give customers a choice. MSSQL databases and .NET websites request a Windows web server, for instance, and will not run on a different OS, whereas PHP and HTML driven sites using MySQL databases will function on any Operating System. Prior to leasing a dedicated server, find out what the hosting firm offers and what the necessities of your web site are.

Software Platforms for Dedicated Web Hosting

By default, each dedicated server comes with all the software applications required in order to administer a website - a web server, database software (MySQL, MSSQL, PostgreSQL, and so on), PHP software, an FTP server and so on, so once you get the dedicated server, you can upload your web site files and bring the web site online. Most providers give full root access, in other words you can install any software on the dedicated server and revise any settings. Given script-based software platforms need server-side applications that should be pre-installed in order for them to run. Different e-commerce scripts, for instance, have such a precondition, and being given complete root-level access to the dedicated server is decisive for managing an online shop. Other hosting corporations do not offer complete root access, but help the customer install the required software platforms - this is the so-called managed hosting service, as compared to the unmanaged hosting solution, which offers full server root privileges.
