Dedicated Web Hosting Definition

When we talk about hosting web servers, there are 3 basic sorts - website hosting servers, VPS (private virtual web hosting servers) and dedicated web hosting. Shared servers host many customers and therefore the system resources per account are restricted, VPS web hosting give you more server configuration autonomy, but also affect other virtual private hosting servers on the hardware node if utilized unwisely, and dedicated web hosting servers offer you the option to carry out everything you prefer without interfering with anyone else.

Why would you require a dedicated web hosting servers?

Dedicated web hosting servers are usually much more high-priced than shared web servers or virtual private web servers. Why would anyone, then, want to use them? The explanation is rather simple. If your firm has a regularly visited website, or simply has very specific web server setup requirements, the most intelligent option would be a dedicated web hosting servers. For somebody who is inclined to invest in safety and reliability, the greater price is not a concern. You gain full server root privileges and can use 100 percent of the dedicated hosting server's system resources without anyone else sharing these resources and intervening with your online portals.

Hardware specs

Most website hosting firms, including us at H T V HOSTING, offer several hardware architectures you can pick from according to your requirements. The hardware architectures include different types of microprocessors, a different number of cores, different RAM memory and server hard disk sizes and different bandwidth quotas. You can select a web hosting Control Panel, which is a useful user interface if you would like to use the dedicated web hosting servers for hosting purposes only and prefer not to use SSH for all the modifications you will be making. We provide 3 sorts of hosting CP software - Hepsia, DirectAdmin and cPanel.

The hosting CP of your choice

If you are a confident Linux OS user (our web servers are powered by Linux or other Unix-based Operating Systems), you could administer your dedicated web hosting servers via SSH only. That, though, could be inconvenient, particularly if you choose to give root-level access to somebody else who has less technical proficiency than yourself. This is why having web hosting Control Panel software pre-installed is an intelligent idea. The Hepsia web hosting Control Panel tool that we offer does not offer root access and is mainly appropriate for somebody who maintains plenty of websites that devour a lot of system resources, but would like to manage the sites, databases and mailboxes through an intuitive web hosting CP. The DirectAdmin and cPanel web hosting CPs, on the other hand, give you complete root-level access and include 3 levels of access - root, reseller and user. If you plan to resell hosting plans rather than utilizing the dedicated web hosting servers just for yourself, you should select one of these two.

Server monitoring and backup procedures

Last but not least, there is the issue of monitoring the dedicated web hosting servers and of backing it up. In the event of a predicament with your web hosting server, such as a non-responsive Apache or an outage, it is good to have some kind of monitoring platform enabled. Here at H T V HOSTING the system administrators monitor all dedicated web hosting servers for ping timeouts, and, if you have a Managed Services package, they monitor the individual services on the dedicated web hosting servers as well. Backups are also a bonus feature - the hosting services provider offers you data backups on our own backup web servers. You could choose a kind of RAID that would allow you to have the very same data on two hard disks as a precaution in case of a server hard disk failure, or in case someone whom you have given access erases something by accident.
