How Does Dedicated Hosting Operate?

When we talk about hosting web servers, there are three main varieties - shared hosting servers, VPS (private virtual servers) and dedicated servers. Shared web servers host numerous customers and hence the resources per account are restricted, virtual private servers offer more server configuration independence, but also influence other VPS servers on the hardware node if utilized heedlessly, and dedicated servers offer you the opportunity to carry out everything you see fit without meddling with anyone else.

Why would you need a dedicated servers?

Dedicated servers are generally much more high-priced than shared hosting servers or virtual private web hosting servers. Why would anyone, then, use them? The answer is quite simple. If your firm has a resource-absorbing web site, or simply has very special server setup requirements, the most logical option is a dedicated servers. For somebody who is prepared to invest in safety and reliability, the higher price is not a problem. You are given complete server root access and can utilize 100% of the dedicated web server's system resources without anyone else sharing these resources and interfering with your sites.

Hardware configurations

The majority of web hosting companies, including us at Host2net LLC, provide several different hardware architectures you can select from depending on your demands. The hardware configurations include different sorts of processors, a different number of cores, different RAM memory and hard disk sizes and different web traffic quotas. You can pick a web hosting CP, which is a convenient graphical user interface if you would like to utilize the dedicated servers for hosting purposes only and choose not to use an SSH client for all the modifications you will be making. We provide three types of hosting Control Panel software - Hepsia, DirectAdmin and cPanel.

The web hosting CP of your choosing

If you are a confident Linux OS user (our web servers are running on Linux or other Unix-based OSs), you could manage your dedicated servers via an SSH terminal only. That, however, could be awkward, particularly if you decide to give full root-level access to somebody else who has less technical skills than yourself. That is why having Control Panel software activated is a smart idea. The Hepsia hosting CP GUI that we offer does not offer complete root access and is mostly appropriate for someone who owns plenty of online portals that demand plenty of resources, but desires to manage the online portals, databases and e-mail addresses through a user-friendly web hosting Control Panel. The DirectAdmin and cPanel web hosting CPs, on the other hand, grant full server root privileges and offer three access levels - root, reseller and user. If you plan to resell hosting packages instead of utilizing the dedicated servers solely for yourself, you should choose one of these two.

Web server monitoring and backup services

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 server, like an unresponsive Apache or a network downtime, it is good to have some kind of monitoring system activated. Here at Host2net LLC the system administrators monitor all dedicated servers for ping timeouts, and, if you have a Managed Services package, they monitor the separate services on the dedicated servers too. Backups are also an additional feature - the hosting services provider offers you data backups on our own backup web servers. You could pick a type of RAID that would permit you to keep the very same data on 2 disk drives as a precaution in the event of a disk drive failure, or in case someone whom you have given full root privileges erases something unintentionally.
