Dedicated Packages Definition

Free and paid shared packages are one of the most widespread website hosting products on the marketplace. They are perfect for small-sized sites that do not demand plenty of system resources and do not get that many viewers, but for resource-consuming web pages with many 1000's of website visitors, a more powerful platform is required. If you desire a steady, no-holds-barred hosting solution that can handle even millions of everyday visits, a dedicated package is your most excellent choice.

Tackle the Intense Load Generated by Your Web Sites with a Dedicated Server

With the dedicated web server hosting solution, you rent a whole physical machine whose system resources will be utilized solely by your sites. Just as any PC, each dedicated server has one or more CPUs functioning at a given speed, a certain amount of memory, one or more hard disks, and so on. A dedicated server is in fact a computer with hardware meant to tackle intense load and specific software installed on it, such as web server software, PHP and MySQL software platforms, etc., which allows the websites accommodated on it to be available online.

Managed Dedicated Hosting Services

A dedicated server can be managed either by the hosting service provider, or by the customer, depending on the particular dedicated package plan. In either case, the party administering the dedicated machine has access to a software tool to reboot it at any given moment. Management is done through a Control Panel interface that enables you to supervise the services running on the physical server.

Operating Systems for Dedicated Packages

There are different hosting server OSs like Windows, FreeBSD, different Linux distributions, etc. Specific hosting vendors provide dedicated packages utilizing one specific OS, whereas others offer customers an option. MSSQL databases and .NET web sites need a Windows web server, for instance, and will not run on another Operating System, whereas PHP and HTML based sites using MySQL databases will function on any Operating System. Before renting a dedicated server, learn what the hosting firm offers and what the necessities of your web site are.

Software Platforms for Dedicated Packages

By default, each dedicated server comes with all the software required to run a web site - web server software, database software (MySQL, MSSQL, PostgreSQL, and so on), PHP software, FTP server software and so on, so the moment you get the dedicated web hosting server, you can upload your web files and take the website online. The majority of hosting corporations grant full root-level access, i.e. you can install any software apps on the dedicated server and change any settings. Given script-powered platforms need server-side apps that should be pre-installed in order for them to function. Plenty of shopping cart software scripts, for instance, have such a precondition, and being supplied with full root access to the dedicated server is decisive for kicking off an online storefront. Other web hosting firms do not provide full server root access, but help the customer activate the necessary software apps - this is the so-called managed hosting solution, as distinguished from the unmanaged hosting solution, which includes root access.
