Increase Productivity – Get Dedicated Servers

In the world of internet hosting, a dedicated server is commonly defined as the exclusive use of a computer which amongst other things includes a web server, related software and connection to the internet, located on the site of a web hosting company’s premises. A dedicated server is more preferable than a shared server as it is flexible, giving organizations the option of full control over the servers specifications including choice of operating system, hardware, etc.

Dedicated servers are most usually placed in data centers, akin to collocation facilities, providing surplus power sources and H VAC systems. In contrast to collocation, the server hardware is owned by the provider, allowing them to monitor not just the hardware but also, network connectivity, and routing equipment. The client in the meantime manages and maintains the software being used for the server.

A dedicated server is most commonly used for websites which have developed beyond the standard web hosting account and require a more reliable and comprehensive network to administer it. They are also used by organizations which need independent systems for email, web and database servers.

The operating system offered on dedicated servers are usually determined by a number of factors, namely availability, price and employee familiarity etc. Variations of Linux and Unix (open source operating systems) are often integrated for free to the client. Commercial operating systems include Microsoft Windows Server, provided through a special program called Microsoft SP LA. Red Hat Enterprise is a commercial version of Linux which is offered to hosting providers on a monthly fee. Other operating systems which are available from the open source community at no charge include Cents, Fedora Core, Debi an, etc.

Dedicated servers do not need to share resources, as those with shared hosting plans do. One of the most attractive advantages of using a dedicated server over a typical shared hosting account is the increased amount of resources and control available. It allows the customer to install whatever software necessary, allowing for greater flexibility and options. Tailor-made software can be installed, which also ensures security, since there is less chance for a hacking attempt, as only one site is being hosted, rather than several hundred at a time.

No industry standards have yet, been set to clearly define the management role of dedicated server providers, each provider defines them differently. Some dedicated server providers define fully managed as having a web-based control panel, while others define it as having dedicated system engineers readily available to handle server and network related functions.

Dedicated servers utilize extreme security measures to ensure the safety of data stored on their network of servers and are usually housed in data centers which are much like collocation facilities. Providers will often deploy various software programs for scanning systems and networks for obtrusive invaders, spammers, hackers, and other harmful problems such as Trojans, worms, and crashers. Linux and Windows use different software for security and protection.

Dedicated servers contribute to enhancement of business and improved business continuity. This is a solution that should be employed by organizations who have websites with heavy traffic and daily visitors that are increasing.
