Dedicated Hosting Servers Uncovered

When we talk about web hosting servers, there are 3 major kinds - shared hosting web servers, VPS (virtual private web hosting servers) and dedicated hosting servers. Shared web servers accommodate numerous clients and hence the system resources per user account are limited, virtual private server packages offer more configuration autonomy, but also influence other virtual hosting servers on the hardware node if used heedlessly, and dedicated servers give you the possibility to do everything you want without interfering with anyone else.

Why would you require a dedicated hosting server?

Dedicated servers are commonly much more expensive than shared hosting servers or virtual hosting servers. Why would anyone, then, want to use them? The explanation is pretty simple. If your corporation has a frequently visited online portal, or just has very specific server setup requirements, the wisest choice is a dedicated server. For somebody who is prepared to invest in safety and dependability, the greater price is of no concern. You are given complete root access and can utilize 100% of the web hosting server's resources without anyone else sharing these resources and meddling with your websites.

Hardware specs

The majority of web hosting corporations, including us at HostingSuperCenter.com, provide several hardware architectures you can choose from depending on your demands. The hardware configurations offer different types of microprocessors, a different amount of cores, different RAM and server disk drive sizes and different monthly bandwidth allowances. You can choose a hosting CP, which is convenient software if you want to utilize the dedicated web hosting server for website hosting purposes solely and choose not to use an SSH client for all the changes you will be making. We provide 3 sorts of web hosting CP software - Hepsia, DirectAdmin and cPanel.

The hosting CP of your choosing

If you are a confident Linux OS user (our dedicated hosting web servers are powered by Linux or other Unix-based Operating Systems), you could administer your dedicated server via an SSH terminal only. That, however, could be awkward, particularly if you choose to give full server root privileges to somebody else who has less technical skills than yourself. That is why having Control Panel software pre-installed is a good idea. The Hepsia hosting Control Panel tool that we provide does not offer root privileges and is chiefly appropriate for someone who runs a lot of web portals that swallow a lot of resources, but would like to manage the web sites, databases and email mailbox accounts through a user-friendly hosting Control Panel. The DirectAdmin and cPanel hosting CPs, on the other hand, grant complete root-level access and have 3 levels of access - root, reseller and user. If you plan to resell hosting packages instead of utilizing the hosting server just for yourself, you should select one of these two.

Web server monitoring and backup services

Last but not least, there is the issue of monitoring the dedicated hosting server and of backing it up. In the event of a problem with your server, such as an unresponsive Apache or a downtime, it is useful to have some kind of monitoring platform enabled. Here at HostingSuperCenter.com 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 hosting server too. Backups are also a bonus option - the web hosting solutions provider offers you data backups on our own backup servers. You could choose a kind of RAID that would allow you to have the same data on two server hard drives as a protective measure in case of a hard disk failure, or in case someone whom you have ranted root privileges erases something by accident.
