Dedicated Hosting Plans Description
When we speak of hosting web servers, there are 3 principal varieties - shared hosting web servers, VPS (virtual hosting servers) and dedicated hosting servers. Shared hosting web servers host a lot of customers and therefore the resources per account are limited, virtual private server packages give you more server configuration autonomy, but also affect other VPSs on the hardware node if utilized unwisely, and dedicated servers offer you the liberty to perform everything you want without messing with anyone else.
Why would you require a dedicated hosting server?
Dedicated servers are normally much more expensive than shared hosting web servers or VPSs. Why would anyone, then, want to use them? The reply is very simple. If your corporation has a resource-consuming web page, or simply has very exact web server configuration requirements, the most sensible choice would be a dedicated server. For someone who is prepared to invest in safety and reliability, the bigger price is of no concern. You receive complete root-level access and can use 100% of the server's system resources without anyone else utilizing these resources and intervening with your sites.
Hardware specs
Most web hosting companies, including us at , offer several different hardware configurations you can select from as per your needs. The hardware configurations include different sorts of processors, a different number of cores, different RAM and disk drive sizes and different bandwidth usage quotas. You can choose a hosting Control Panel, which is a useful GUI if you want to use the dedicated web hosting server for website hosting purposes solely and choose not to resort to a Secure Shell console 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 choosing
If you are a self-assured Linux OS user (our dedicated web hosting servers are running on Linux or other Unix-based OSs), you could administer your dedicated server via a Secure Shell connection only. That, though, could be inconvenient, even more so if you choose to grant root privileges to someone else who has less technical proficiency than yourself. This is why having web hosting Control Panel software activated is an intelligent idea. The Hepsia web hosting Control Panel tool that we provide does not give you root privileges and is mostly suitable for somebody who owns lots of sites that absorb plenty of system resources, but would rather manage the online portals, databases and e-mail accounts using an easy-to-use hosting CP. The DirectAdmin and cPanel web hosting CPs, on the other hand, grant root access and include 3 access levels - root, reseller and user. If you plan to resell hosting plans instead of using the web server just for yourself, you should choose one of these two.
Web server monitoring and backup services
Last but not least, there is the matter of monitoring the dedicated hosting server and of backing it up. In case of a problem with your server, like a non-responsive Apache or a network downtime, it is good to have some sort of monitoring system enabled. Here at the system administrators monitor all dedicated servers for ping timeouts, and, if you order a Managed Services upgrade, they monitor the separate services on the dedicated hosting server too. Backups are also a bonus feature - the web hosting services provider offers you data backups on our own backup servers. You could choose a kind of RAID that would permit you to have the very same data on two disk drives as a protective measure in the event of a server hard drive failure, or in case someone whom you have ranted full server root privileges erases something by mistake.
