So you've outgrown your shared host and it's time now to move on to the real stuff.
Yes we are talking about dedicated servers, those byte crunching beasts. Figuring out all of the options and services can be very confusing.
But No Worry!
I will try and give you some tips and hopefully guide to your perfect server.
So let's not waste any time and start with first segment.
What is a Dedicated Server? Dedicated Server is a single computer connected to a network (internet). This computer and all of it's processing power is dedicated to a single person or organization. Meaning that the computer resources are not shared by anyone else. You have the full control of the machine and you are free to run any software you want on that computer.
Generally dedicated servers are used to serve web page requests ( html, images, videos...etc) but they can be used for many other purposes as well.
Do I need one or more servers? To simplify things we will divide the use of dedicated servers into these two groups:
Full Web site Hosting
Specific Service Hosting (Database, email, httpd...etc)
Single Web site Hosting
Hosting of a single or several web sites. In this kind of setup, all of the services/programs (http software, DB software, email software...etc) are installed and running on one dedicated server. Sometimes these services/programs can also be referred as "servers" them self.
This is the common setup for small to medium trafficked web sites since all of the necessary software needed to run the web site are located on one physical machine.
Advantage to of this setup is that it lowers the cost, but disadvantage is that all of the machine resources are shared by all of the software and processes.
