Explanation of Dedicated Packages

Free and paid shared packages are among the most widely used website hosting solutions on the marketplace. They are splendid for small-scale web sites that do not request plenty of resources and do not attract that many web site visitors, but for heavy resource-absorbing web portals with many thousands of viewers, a more advanced platform is required. If you want a powerful, top-quality hosting platform that can tackle even 1 000 000's of everyday visits, a dedicated package is your perfect alternative.

Tackle the Intense Load Created by Your Sites with a Dedicated Server

With the dedicated web server hosting service, you rent a whole machine whose resources will be utilized only by your web sites. Just as any computer, each dedicated server has one or more central processing units operating at a specific speed, a given amount of memory, one or more hard disks, and so on. A web hosting server is actually a computer with a hardware configuration aimed to cope with high load and specific software activated on it, like web server software, PHP and MySQL software platforms, and so on, which allows the web sites stored on it to be visible on the World Wide Web.

Managed Dedicated Hosting Services

A dedicated server can be administered either by the web hosting corporation, or by the client, based on the particular dedicated package package. In either situation, the side handling the dedicated web server has access to a software platform to reboot it at any particular moment. Administration is carried out via a web hosting CP graphical user interface that enables you to monitor the tasks running on the server.

OSs for Dedicated Packages

There are various web server Operating Systems such as Windows, FreeBSD, different Linux distributions, etc. Given hosting providers provide dedicated packages running one given OS, while others offer customers a choice. MSSQL databases and .NET websites request a Windows server, for instance, and will not run on a different OS, whereas PHP and HTML driven sites utilizing MySQL databases will perform on any Operating System. Prior to leasing a dedicated server, examine what the hosting corporation provides and what the needs of your site are.

Software Apps for Dedicated Packages

By default, each dedicated server comes with all the software platforms required to manage a site - a web server, database software (MySQL, MSSQL, PostgreSQL, and so on), PHP software, FTP server software and so on, so once you get the web server, you can upload your web files and get the site online. Most web hosting providers offer full root-level access, i.e. you can install any software on the dedicated server and revise any settings. Given script-based platforms require server-side libraries that should be pre-activated in order for them to work. Different e-commerce scripts, for example, involve such a precondition, and having root access to the dedicated server is vital for administering an online shop. Other hosting distributors do not give full root access, but help the client install the required software platforms - this is the so-called managed web hosting service, as distinguished from the unmanaged hosting service, which offers full server root access.
