Dedicated Servers Hosting Uncovered

When we speak of hosting servers, there are three basic kinds - shared hosting servers, VPS (virtual web servers) and dedicated servers. Shared web servers accommodate a lot of customers and thus the system resources per user account are limited, virtual private servers offer more configuration autonomy, but also affect other virtual private web servers on the hardware node if utilized unwisely, and dedicated servers offer you the opportunity to perform everything you desire without messing with anyone else.

Why would you require a dedicated servers?

Dedicated servers are commonly much more expensive than shared web servers or Virtual Private Servers. Why would anyone, then, use them? The answer is rather simple. If your corporation has a heavy resource-swallowing website, or simply has very precise web server configuration requirements, the wisest choice is a dedicated servers. For somebody who is prepared to invest in safety and dependability, the greater price is of no importance. You are bestowed with complete server root access and can utilize 100% of the web server's resources without anyone else availing of these resources and interfering with your sites.

Hardware architectures

The majority of web hosting providers, including us at SpaceNET Hosting, offer different hardware configurations you can pick from according to your demands. The configurations include different kinds of microprocessors, a different amount of cores, different RAM memory and server hard disk sizes and different monthly traffic allowances. You can choose a web hosting Control Panel, which is a handy GUI if you would like to utilize the dedicated servers for hosting purposes only and choose not to use SSH for all the modifications you will be making. We provide three sorts of web hosting Control Panel software - Hepsia, DirectAdmin and cPanel.

The Control Panel of your choosing

If you are a self-confident Linux user (our web hosting servers are running on Linux or other Unix-based OSs), you could manage your dedicated servers via an SSH terminal exclusively. That, however, could be inconvenient, particularly if you choose to grant full root-level access to somebody else who has less technical abilities than yourself. This is why having web hosting CP software pre-installed is an intelligent idea. The Hepsia hosting CP graphical user interface that we provide does not offer full root access and is mainly suitable for somebody who maintains a lot of sites that consume lots of resources, but wishes to manage the online portals, databases and mail aliases using an intuitive Control Panel. The DirectAdmin and cPanel web hosting CPs, on the other hand, give you root access and have 3 access levels - root, reseller and user. If you plan to resell hosting plans instead of utilizing the dedicated servers just for yourself, you should select one of these two.

Web server monitoring and backup services

Last but not least, there is the matter of monitoring the dedicated servers and of backing it up. In case of a problem with your dedicated hosting server, such as an unresponsive Apache or a network outage, it is good to have some kind of monitoring system enabled. Here at SpaceNET Hosting 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 servers as well. Backups are also a bonus option - the hosting distributor offers you data backups on our own backup web servers. You could select a kind of RAID that would allow you to keep the same data on two disk drives as a protective measure in the event of a server hard disk failure, or in case someone whom you have given root-level access erases something by mistake.
