What Exactly is Dedicated Web Hosting?
Free and paid shared packages are among the most popular web hosting solutions on the marketplace. They are appropriate for small-size sites that do not request plenty of system resources and do not receive that many visitors, but for heavy resource-swallowing websites with many thousands of visitors, a more advanced platform is required. If you are seeking a rock steady, top-quality web hosting solution that can tackle even 1 000 000's of daily visits, a dedicated web hosting is your finest alternative.
Tackle the Heavy Load Generated by Your Websites with a Dedicated Server
With the dedicated hosting solution, you rent an entire web server whose resources will be used solely by your websites. Just like any PC, each dedicated server has one or more processors functioning at a certain speed, a particular amount of RAM memory, one or more hard drives, and so on. A web server is actually a computer with hardware aimed to cope with intense load and some software activated on it, like web server software, PHP and MySQL software, etc., which allows the websites hosted on it to be accessible online.

A dedicated server can be managed either by the web hosting service provider, or by the client, on the basis of the particular dedicated web hosting package. In either situation, the side managing the machine has access to a software tool to reboot it at any given time. Administration is carried out through a Control Panel graphical interface that allows you to keep an eye on the tasks running on the dedicated web server.
OSs for Dedicated Web Hosting
There are various hosting server Operating Systems like Windows, FreeBSD, a variety of Linux distributions, etc. Particular web hosts offer dedicated web hosting running one specific OS, whereas others offer clients an option. MSSQL databases and .NET websites request a Windows server, for instance, and will not operate on a different Operating System, whereas PHP and HTML based websites utilizing MySQL databases will operate on any OS. Before leasing a dedicated server, check what the hosting company provides and what the needs of your web site are.
Software Platforms for Dedicated Web Hosting
By default, each dedicated server includes all the software platforms required to administer a web site - web server software, database software (MySQL, MSSQL, PostgreSQL, etc.), PHP software, FTP server software and so on, so once you obtain the dedicated machine, you can upload your files and bring the website online. The majority of hosting corporations grant full root privileges, i.e. you can activate any software applications on the dedicated server and alter any settings. Some script-powered platforms need server-side libraries that should be pre-activated in order for them to run. Various e-commerce scripts, for instance, involve such a precondition, and being offered root access to the dedicated server is critical for setting up an online storefront. Other web hosts do not offer root privileges, but help the customer activate the needed software - this is the so-called managed hosting solution, as distinguished from the unmanaged hosting solution, which includes complete server root access.
