Dedicated Servers Description

When we talk about hosting servers, there are 3 main kinds - shared hosting servers, VPS (private virtual hosting servers) and dedicated servers. Shared hosting servers accommodate plenty of customers and thus the system resources per hosting account are limited, virtual private servers offer more server configuration autonomy, but also affect other virtual private hosting servers on the hardware node if used unwisely, and dedicated servers give you the option to carry out everything you like without interfering with anyone else.

Why would you need a dedicated servers?

Dedicated servers are generally much more expensive than shared hosting servers or virtual servers. Why would anyone, then, want to use them? The explanation is pretty simple. If your company has a heavy resource-demanding web page, or simply has very specific server configuration requirements, the most sensible option is a dedicated servers. For somebody who is ready to invest in security and stability, the higher price is of no importance. You have root access and can use 100% of the web server's system resources without anyone else sharing these system resources and messing with your sites.

Hardware specifications

The majority of website hosting firms, incl. us at You Host Web Domain And Hosting Services, provide different hardware architectures you can select from in consonance with your demands. The hardware architectures offer different types of microprocessors, a different number of cores, different RAM memory and hard disk drive sizes and different web traffic usage quotas. You can choose a Control Panel, which is a handy GUI if you wish to use the dedicated servers for website hosting purposes only and choose not to resort to SSH for all the changes you will be making. We offer 3 sorts of Control Panel software - Hepsia, DirectAdmin and cPanel.

The hosting Control Panel of your choice

If you are a confident Linux user (our servers are running on Linux or other Unix-based Operating Systems), you could manage your dedicated servers through an SSH client exclusively. That, though, could be inconvenient, even more so if you wish to grant root access to someone else who has less technical knowledge than yourself. That is why having hosting CP software pre-installed is a fine idea. The Hepsia hosting Control Panel user interface that we provide does not include complete server root access and is mostly suitable for someone who runs multiple web pages that demand plenty of system resources, but desires to administer the websites, databases and e-mailboxes through a user-friendly web hosting CP. The DirectAdmin and cPanel Control Panels, on the other hand, grant root access and offer three access levels - root, reseller and user. If you intend to resell web hosting accounts rather than using the dedicated 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 servers and of backing it up. In the event of a problem with your web hosting server, like a non-responsive Apache or a downtime, it is advisable to have some kind of monitoring platform activated. Here at You Host Web Domain And Hosting Services 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 extra feature - the web hosting solutions provider 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 2 disk drives as a protective measure in case of a server hard disk failure, or in case someone whom you have given full server root privileges erases something unintentionally.
