Server Hosting History Explained

What we now know as a dedicated server was once called a mainframe when servers where first being used back in the 1950s and 60s

. These servers would run critical processing tasks like data usage. We only have to go as far back as the 1990's when the same setups were being used. But with the development of the web and other network services, the term dedicated server became more common. And with that, server hosting became what we have as we speak.The description of what a server is has not changed much over the last couple of decades on what content the server serves up. Back in the nineties a server would primarily be used for files and email The WWW boom saw a different, and huge demand for hosting websites, databases etc as well as email. Don't be surprised if the demand for dedicated server hosting changes again. Think of how Google has changed in terms of marketing, and the demand for services round that. Since the beginning server operating systems have changed with demand. The demand for different 'flavours' of operating systems is hugely diverse. Unix/Linux operating systems are the alternative for most internet purposes as it is considered to be less vulnerable and more stable than Windows. Many are free but some top quality are paid for options depending on what you are wishing to do. Server hardware and desktop hardware have been developed at the same rate. If you needed multiple CPU's you would need a mother board that supported multiple CPUs and have the money to fill them. Server hosting architecture supports multiple cores on single CPU's these days. However most do not need this with the introduction of dual and quad core CPUs. On its way for server hosting, 6 and 8 core CPU's. Over time the demand for RAM has grown. Back in the day you could count the megabytes on your fingers. These days you would run out of fingers to count the number of gigabytes. You will also find all sorts of different types of RAM for different server hosting requirements. Generally speaking, whatever hardware is being used for server hosting now, will appear on your average desktop in around a year and a half. Where will dedicated servers be in another ten years? You can bet the hardware will be infinitely faster. What happens to server hosting, depends on the next big thing on the internet. Facebook for example has changed the way the internet works and is used. So server hosting depends on what big website comes next.
