Dedicated Web Hosting Explanation

When we speak of hosting web servers, there are three major sorts - web hosting servers, VPS (private virtual hosting servers) and dedicated web hosting. Shared web servers host numerous customers and thus the system resources per user account are limited, VPS web hosting give you more configuration autonomy, but also affect other private virtual web servers on the hardware node if utilized heedlessly, and dedicated servers give you the independence to carry out everything you please without interfering with anyone else.

Why would you need a dedicated servers?

Dedicated servers are typically much more high-priced than shared web hosting servers or virtual private hosting servers. Why would anyone, then, use them? The reply is very simple. If your company has a high resource-absorbing web portal, or just has very precise server setup requirements, the smartest choice would be a dedicated servers. For someone who is willing to invest in safety and dependability, the higher price is of no concern. You gain root access and can use 100 percent of the hosting web server's system resources without anyone else using these resources and intervening with your online portals.

Hardware architectures

The majority of hosting corporations, including us at Success Hosting, provide several hardware architectures you can choose from in keeping with your requirements. The configurations include different types of microprocessors, a different number of cores, different RAM and hard disk drive sizes and different traffic usage quotas. You can select a hosting Control Panel, which is useful software if you wish to utilize the dedicated servers for web hosting purposes only and prefer not to use an SSH terminal for all the changes you will be making. We offer 3 sorts of hosting Control Panel software - Hepsia, DirectAdmin and cPanel.

The Control Panel of your preference

If you are a self-reliant Linux OS user (our dedicated hosting web servers are powered by Linux or other Unix-based Operating Systems), you could manage your dedicated web hosting via SSH exclusively. That, however, could be awkward, even more so if you choose to give full root privileges to somebody else who has less technical abilities than yourself. That is why having hosting CP software pre-installed is a bright idea. The Hepsia hosting CP GUI that we offer does not offer root-level access and is mainly appropriate for somebody who has plenty of online portals that consume lots of system resources, but prefers to administer the websites, databases and mailboxes through an intuitive hosting Control Panel. The DirectAdmin and cPanel hosting Control Panels, on the other hand, grant full root-level access and include three access levels - root, reseller and user. If you plan to resell web hosting plans instead of utilizing the dedicated servers only for yourself, you should select one of these two.

Web server monitoring and backup procedures

Last but not least, there is the issue of monitoring the dedicated servers and of backing it up. In case of a predicament with your hosting server, like a non-responsive Apache or an outage, it is advisable to have some sort of monitoring system activated. Here at Success Hosting the system administrators monitor all dedicated servers for ping timeouts, and, if you order a Managed Services upgrade, they monitor the individual services on the dedicated servers too. Backups are also an extra option - the company offers you data backups on our own backup servers. You could pick a type of RAID that would allow you to save the same data on 2 server hard disk drives as a protective measure in case of a server hard disk failure, or in case someone whom you have given full server root privileges erases something by mistake.
