Dedicated Server Hosting

Tuesday, December 12th, 2006

It’s a type of hosting service where the client leases an entire to a single customer and is not shared with anyone. If your web hosting needs are for huge amounts of traffic than a dedicated server is the only feasible option for it. This is also a far more flexible option, as you will have full control over the server(s), including choice of operating system, hardware, etc. The hosting company as an add-on service can usually provide server administration. In some cases a dedicated server can offer less overhead and a larger return on investment.

. Are most often housed in data centers, similar to collocation facilities, providing redundant power sources and HVAC systems. In contrast to collocation, a dedicated hosting service provides system administration and owns the server itself.Some of the benifits of dedicated server hosting include:

1 Operating system support
2 Connectivity
3 Management

Operating system support
Availability, price and employee familiarity often determines what operating systems are offered on dedicated servers. FreeBSD, Linux, and variations thereof are often offered for free. Windows is often available for an additional fee to cover licensing costs.

Connectivity
Budget providers will often use a single budget upstream provider.Higher quality providers will be multi-homed across multiple quality uplink providers, giving redundancy, in the event one goes down, and potentially improved routes to destinations.

Management
Administrative maintenance of the operating system, often including upgrades, security patches, and sometimes even daemon updates are included. Differing levels of management may include adding users, domains, daemon configuration, or even custom programming.
