Description of Dedicated Packages

Free and paid shared plans are among the most widespread website hosting products on the market. They are applicable for small web sites that do not demand plenty of system resources and do not receive that many viewers, but for large-scale web sites with many thousands of web site visitors, a more advanced solution is needed. If you require an advanced, topflight hosting solution that can tackle even millions of daily visits, a dedicated package is your perfect option.

Handle the High Load Generated by Your Sites with a Dedicated Server

With the dedicated server hosting solution, you lease an entire physical server whose resources will be used solely by your sites. Just like any computer, each dedicated server has one or more microprocessors functioning at a certain speed, a particular amount of RAM, one or more hard drives, and so on. A dedicated web server is in fact a computer with a hardware configuration intended to handle intense load and some software activated on it, like web server software, PHP and MySQL software, etc., which permits the web sites hosted on it to be available on the Internet.

Managed Dedicated Hosting Services

A dedicated server can be administered either by the web hosting vendor, or by the customer, based on the specific dedicated package package. In either case, the party handling the dedicated server has access to a software tool to restart it at any particular time. Administration is done through a CP graphical interface that allows you to monitor the tasks running on the dedicated web hosting server.

OSs for Dedicated Packages

There are various web hosting server OSs such as Windows, FreeBSD, different Linux distributions, and so on. Particular web hosting providers offer dedicated packages running one particular OS, whereas others offer customers a choice. MSSQL databases and .NET web sites need a Windows server, for instance, and will not perform on another Operating System, whereas PHP and HTML driven sites utilizing MySQL databases will work on any Operating System. Before renting a dedicated server, check what the hosting firm provides and what the needs of your web site are.

Software Applications for Dedicated Packages

By default, each dedicated server comes with all the software applications needed to manage a web site - web server software, database software (MySQL, MSSQL, PostgreSQL, etc.), PHP software, an FTP server and so on, so as soon as you obtain the web hosting server, you can upload your web files and take the website online. The majority of web hosting corporations grant root-level access, in other words you can activate any software applications on the dedicated server and revise any settings. Some script-powered platforms require server-side libraries that should be pre-activated in order for them to perform. Various shopping cart scripts, for example, involve such a requirement, and being offered full root-level access to the dedicated server is decisive for administering an online shop. Other web hosts do not offer root-level access, but help the client install the required software - this is the so-called managed web hosting service, as distinguished from the unmanaged hosting service, which comes with full server root privileges.
