Dedicated Hosting Description
When we talk about web hosting servers, there are three principal types - shared hosting servers, VPS (private virtual web servers) and dedicated servers. Shared hosting servers accommodate multiple customers and so the resources per hosting account are limited, virtual private servers offer more configuration independence, but also affect other VPS hosting servers on the hardware node if utilized rashly, and dedicated servers give you the opportunity to carry out everything you want without messing with anyone else.
Why would you need a dedicated servers?
Dedicated servers are normally much more expensive than shared servers or VPS web servers. Why would anyone, then, use them? The reply is very simple. If your firm has a high resource-requiring online portal, or just has very special server setup requirements, the most sensible choice is a dedicated servers. For somebody who is ready to invest in safety and reliability, the bigger price is not a problem. You acquire root access and can utilize 100 percent of the dedicated web server's system resources without anyone else utilizing these resources and intervening with your sites.
Hardware architectures
The majority of website hosting corporations, incl. us at , offer several different hardware configurations you can pick from in keeping with your necessities. The configurations include different kinds of microprocessors, a different amount of cores, different RAM memory and hard drive sizes and different web traffic allowances. You can select a hosting Control Panel, which is a handy GUI if you wish to use the dedicated servers for hosting purposes solely and prefer not to resort to a Secure Shell client for all the changes you will be making. We offer three kinds of hosting Control Panel software - Hepsia, DirectAdmin and cPanel.
The Control Panel of your preference
If you are a confident Linux OS user (our dedicated hosting web servers are running on Linux or other Unix-based Operating Systems), you could manage your dedicated servers through SSH only. That, though, could be awkward, especially if you choose to give complete server root access to someone else who has less technical proficiency than yourself. This is why having web hosting Control Panel software activated is a fine idea. The Hepsia hosting Control Panel software that we offer does not include full server root access and is chiefly appropriate for someone who has numerous web portals that absorb plenty of resources, but prefers to administer the web portals, databases and email box accounts through an easy-to-use web hosting CP. The DirectAdmin and cPanel hosting CPs, on the other hand, grant root privileges and include three access levels - root, reseller and user. If you plan to resell web hosting packages instead of utilizing the dedicated servers solely for yourself, you should choose one of these two.
Server monitoring and backup procedures
Last but not least, there is the matter of monitoring the dedicated servers and of backing it up. In the event of a problem with your web hosting server, such as a non-responsive Apache or a downtime, it is useful to have some sort of monitoring platform activated. Here at the system administrators monitor all dedicated servers for ping timeouts, and, if you have a Managed Services package, they monitor the individual services on the dedicated servers as well. Backups are also a bonus option - the web hosting solutions provider offers you data backups on our own backup servers. You could pick a kind of RAID that would allow you to store the same data on two server hard drives as a precaution in case of a server hard drive failure, or in case someone whom you have ranted root privileges deletes something accidentally.
