The possibilities are endless!<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>These are simply a few suggestions on how a dedicated server could be provisioned. There are countless other ways dedicated servers are being used every day by businesses and organizations around the globe.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Load_balancing\"><\/span>Load balancing<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nginx.com\/resources\/glossary\/load-balancing\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Load balancing<\/a>\u00a0is when you distribute incoming network traffic across an array of backend servers. These are sometimes referred to as server pools or server farms.<\/p>\n<p>Quite often, websites become so popular that they serve exceptionally high numbers of concurrent requests in terms of video, text, images or application data. To alleviate traffic congestion and improve website performance, additional servers can be added to the mix, effectively acting like a traffic cop routing client requests to optimize availability and reliability.<\/p>\n<p>There are a variety of methods to provision efficient load balancing, and that depends primarily on your specific hosting requirements. When you distribute requests across those server farms sequentially, that&#8217;s called Round Robin. When you send new requests to the server with the least current connections, (no surprise here), that&#8217;s called Least Connections. Of course, you could also use IP Hash, which uses the IP address of the client to route their traffic.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Search_engine\"><\/span>Search engine<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Yes, you can and organizations do create their own search engines for a myriad of reasons. Of course this would most likely encompass, for example, a single dedicated programmer completing\u00a0this project over the course of maybe six to twelve months. What you&#8217;d need to start would be a single dedicated server with possibly multiple large SSD drives and lots of RAM. In that configuration, you should be able to create an index of maybe a few kilobytes per page of over one billion pages.<\/p>\n<p>The concept of search engines is fairly basic, requiring 4 core activities, which are crawling, indexing, ranking and query serving.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Live_Cam\"><\/span>Live Cam<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>This essentially involves streaming live video. You could conceivably use a VPS, cloud service or dedicated server for this, but the primary consideration should be bandwidth and then server management. You&#8217;ll need a media server, and if you can manage it yourself, it&#8217;ll save you tons of money.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Chat_Server\"><\/span>Chat Server<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p class=\"intro\">A chat server provides\u00a0the necessary processing power to facilitate\u00a0and maintain chatting for its\u00a0users. There are literally\u00a0thousands of dedicated servers setup for IRC\u00a0and each of those servers are considered a chat server. One example of a chat server is Openfire, which is a real-time collaboration server utilizing XMPP (Jabber).<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"tab nb\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"VoIP_Server\"><\/span>VoIP Server<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p class=\"tab nb\">A VoIP server is a dedicated server running software that makes it possible to provide businesses with fully integrated and modern telephone systems. VoIP dedicated servers allows businesses to take their communications systems into the next era by converting traditional analog systems into digital systems functioning over the Internet.<\/p>\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.prolimehost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2014\/08\/unnamed-e1408122780935.jpg\" alt=\"ProlimeHost RAID Server Solutions\" width=\"400\" height=\"80\" \/><\/h4>\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"BROUGHT_TO_YOU_BY_PROLIMEHOST\"><\/span>BROUGHT TO YOU BY PROLIMEHOST<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p>We\u2019ve been in the web hosting industry for over a decade, helping hundreds of clients succeed in what they do best and that\u2019s running their business.
