Description of Dedicated Web Hosting

When we speak of hosting web servers, there are 3 main categories - web hosting servers, VPS (virtual private hosting servers) and dedicated web hosting. Shared web servers accommodate numerous clients and so the resources per hosting account are restricted, VPS web hosting give you more server configuration autonomy, but also affect other VPS servers on the hardware node if utilized imprudently, and dedicated servers offer you the independence to carry out everything you prefer without interfering with anyone else.

Why would you need a dedicated servers?

Dedicated servers are typically much more high-priced than shared hosting web servers or VPSs. Why would anyone, then, use them? The answer is quite simple. If your firm has a heavy resource-demanding web page, or just has very exact server setup requirements, the smartest option is a dedicated servers. For someone who is willing to invest in safety and stability, the bigger price is of no importance. You acquire root-level access and can utilize 100 percent of the dedicated hosting server's resources without anyone else using these resources and intervening with your websites.

Hardware configurations

Most hosting vendors, incl. us at pc911suppport.com, offer different hardware architectures you can pick from depending on your requirements. The hardware architectures offer different types of microprocessors, a different number of cores, different RAM memory and server hard disk sizes and different bandwidth allowances. You can select a Control Panel, which is a useful software tool if you want to use the dedicated servers for website hosting purposes solely and choose not to use an SSH terminal for all the modifications you will be making. We offer three sorts of Control Panel software - Hepsia, DirectAdmin and cPanel.

The hosting CP of your preference

If you are a confident Linux user (our dedicated web hosting servers are powered by Linux or other Unix-based OSs), you could administer your dedicated web hosting through a Secure Shell connection exclusively. That, though, could be awkward, even more so if you decide to give full root-level access to someone else who has less technical skills than yourself. This is why having hosting CP software pre-activated is a fine idea. The Hepsia web hosting Control Panel tool that we provide does not give you full server root access and is chiefly suitable for someone who has lots of websites that absorb lots of system resources, but would like to administer the web pages, databases and mail aliases through an intuitive Control Panel. The DirectAdmin and cPanel web hosting Control Panels, on the other hand, give you full root access and offer three levels of access - root, reseller and user. If you plan to resell hosting accounts rather than utilizing the dedicated servers only for yourself, you should choose 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, such as an unresponsive Apache or a network outage, it is desirable to have some sort of monitoring platform activated. Here at pc911suppport.com 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 servers too. Backups are also an additional option - the hosting supplier offers you data backups on our own backup web servers. You could select a type of RAID that would permit you to keep the very same data on two hard drives as a precaution in the event of a hard drive failure, or in case someone whom you have given full root-level access deletes something by mistake.
