Dedicated servers are usually being used on hosting farms. The Dedication part means that the server is solely yours, and the definitions you require for it, like bandwidth, security, resources and other configurations that you have requested, will be dedicated to you, so you will always have them available.

This is important when the server has special features that need to be kept at all times, like a constant bandwidth that is always available at a certain capacity, so no bottleneck will be created. This is useful when the server is serving many clients at the same time.

Dedicated servers include redundant solutions for electricity, for databases, SQL server applications and management for them, which warn in case of problems, network issues or server down situations. Such solutions are mostly available for Windows or Linux operating system servers.

The dedicated managed servers are usually 1U Rack servers, (I prefer the DELL server hardware) and they do not include desktop components. They are much secured for websites or SQL databases and you can customize them to any of your requirements.

The dedicated servers are usually blade servers that enable scalable and redundant solutions to be able to guarantee reliability and the ability to grow in case it is required.

Dedicated servers can support Linux distributions like Red-Hat, CentOS, Debian, Fedora or Windows Servers 2006, 2008, Microsoft SQL Server 2000, 2005 or Microsoft Exchange server, ColdFusion application servers using management tools like cPanel, Plesk control panel or the DotNetPanel.

You can register your servers on a local hosting farm, or anywhere in the world, at any hosting just make sure you read the terms agreement carefully to make sure you get all of those guarantees and reliability with your dedicated servers.

You will need to define, the bandwidth you need, the hard-disk capacity allocation requirements, the memory (RAM) you require and CPU needs (2 Processors (Duo) or 4 Processors (Quad)) and the kind of dedication server you require – if it’s a Dell server or HP or whatever the hosting offers and you find suitable.

There is no real age for starting to learn computers, you can decide at an early age, that you want to learn computers, of you, can decide that you want to learn computers when you’re a senior citizen and after you already achieved your goals in life, you want to get to know computers better. There is also the fact that there is no exact time that you need to start learning computers, since you can just decide you want to learn computers better, and you can start. We all use computers, some of us are not trained in the computer art, we haven’t learned computers from scratch, the way they built, creating programs using programming languages, or just implement a computer network connecting a bunch of computers together to be able to share resources.

So, now that we know we can just decide we want to learn computers, and we can go to it and start learning, let’s see what are our possibilities and what areas of computers are out there, so we might decide which area interests us better, and learn that area of the computer.

We have a couple of computers basic subjects which create the base for computers:

• The hardware:

• We need a box to contain our hardware different units, and of course, the hardware devices that actually create our computer, which include the Motherboard, CPU, Memory, Graphics Card, Hard-Disks, DVD-R/W, Communication sockets (USB, FireWire, etc…).
  • [ We can learn computer engineering – hardware ]

• The software:

• When we actually want the hardware to perform in some way 🙂 we will need a software that can connect all of the devices, and create for us a work environment tools, that can enable us to use the computer, use its software application, so we need to develop software programs that will suit us.
  • [ We can learn to become computer programmers ]

• The Network:

• The network enables us to connect our computer to other computers and network devices to our home network or at work. Today every computer is going out to the internet, so it needs to get connected through a router & modem to enable internet connection. We can create a network for a working place, that will enable all of the computers on the network (our employees) to share resources, get the organization’s programs, etc…
  • [ We can learn computer networking – design a computer network ]

• The Security:

• Now, we are connected to the internet, and so we are now exposed to security breaches, as the internet is a source of information, that also creates openings, since our computer is connected to the world using the internet, and we can say that the door to our computer can be accessed. The best security is to just disconnect the computer from the internet, but that wouldn’t assist us since our computer wouldn’t be able to browse the web. So we are building firewalls, using anti-virus programs, anti-spy-ware, ad-removes, etc…  to enable security against harm.
  • [ We can learn computer security ]

These are the basic pillars of computers, knowing all four subjects, can give you a very solid base to use and learn computers. But, since it depends on when you’re starting to learn computers? for what purpose? how fast do we need results? etc… Those types of questions can guide us on what do we want and need to learn about computers.

• If we need to just learn some basic computer issues, so we can understand what computers are, and how we can use them, then we can just take some basic courses.
• If we want to work with computers, we will need to choose the subject we like/to prefer and study that, then get experience in it. The choices are based on those four basic subjects, and in the area that interests you. Example: If I want to build/design websites, I will choose computer programming, but with web development programs, like PHP, HTML, MYSQL, Domains, Hosting, IP, etc….
• If we just want to know how to use a computer, then a basic computer course, will assist us, and teach us how to use a computer? how to turn it on? how to open the applications? how to use the web and browse web-sites?, how to write letters? and send them by e-mails, etc….

Learning Resources and Options:

1. Learn at a course teaching place. (places that pass
2. Learn a degree in university – computer science.
3. Learn just by browsing the internet, finding all of the information, free of charge (you just need to know what type of materials you need for the subject you want to learn).
4. Learn by reading books, there are many books that can teach you anything about computers, at any subject. You can also find books that will prepare you for computer exams – that are being performed at the end of the professional courses.
