Corporate websites, social networks and video sharing web sites are very famous and busy web pages that request lots of resources to function. The more viewers a web site is having simultaneously, the more system resources will be required to cope with all the requests from the users' browsers and to complete them. This is the reason why a dedicated server would be the optimum website hosting environment for such web sites.
Buying a dedicated server indicates that you have a whole physical server at your disposal. Unlike the hosting services or the virtual private servers platform where you share a physical machine with a certain number of other users, with a dedicated server you can use all the system resources for your sites' demands.
There are different web hosting server configurations that you can purchase. They differ in terms of the hardware specs they include - processors, RAM quotas, hard disk drives, network interface cards, but they may also involve a monthly web traffic restriction. For a very famous web page, or if you want to host numerous sites on one hosting server, you may think of a more advanced configuration.
At MerwinDomains we offer an assortment of configurations to answer the requirements of every client - from a small-scale hosting server for one web portal to an extremely powerful configuration that can tackle very famous web portals and thousands of guests at any given moment. The central processing unit and data space quotas and the database connections can be confined solely by the web server hardware itself.
One important advantage of the dedicated server hosting over a shared hosting account is that you gain full root-level access, so you can install any software application that you wish. Certain electronic commerce shopping cart scripts, for instance, demand additional software that cannot be installed on a shared web hosting server as it would influence all the users on it. With a dedicated server, you have full freedom to install anything. You can manage the server either by availing of the SSH network protocol, or through a hosting CP GUI. Here, you have an option again. You can use a web hosting CP provided by the website hosting vendor, or you can avail of your own one. Some widely used web hosting CP interfaces are Hepsia, cPanel, Plesk, DirectAdmin and H-Sphere. Most website hosting CP interfaces are licence-free (Hepsia), while others (cPanel) require a monthly licence fee to utilize them.
Together with the opportunity to host your own domain name, a dedicated server gives you the chance to launch your very own web hosting corporation and to offer web hosting plans to other individuals. Many website hosting Control Panel interfaces have a hosting reseller administration software counterpart, so if you get an invoicing & technical support platform like as WHMCS, AWBS or ClientExec, you can launch your online business, setting up an assortment of website hosting accounts for your prospective clients. You can also provide support to your customers directly, and, since you have full root access, you can install software programs on demand, so your clients will be pleased with the service they receive.
We also offer an additional paid admin solution. Our system administrators will assist you with any problem that you may encounter with your dedicated server hosting - an Operating System update, a script activation, a troubleshooting operation, or any other predicament that you may run into.
A dedicated server is the supreme website hosting solution if you seek a powerful and steady web hosting service without worrying about exceeding any quota limitations. Whether you will host your own websites, or you are a site designer with a lot of customers and require storage space for your work, or you desire to gain some extra cash by reselling the server hosting space to others, a dedicated server will offer you the liberty that no other website hosting service can.
