Dedicated Web Hosting Description

When we talk about web hosting servers, there are 3 principal categories - web hosting servers, VPS (virtual private hosting servers) and dedicated web hosting. Shared hosting servers accommodate a lot of customers and thus the resources per hosting account are limited, VPS web hosting offer more server configuration liberty, but also affect other private virtual hosting servers on the hardware node if used rashly, and dedicated servers give you the liberty to carry out everything you please without interfering with anyone else.

Why would you require a dedicated servers?

Dedicated servers are usually much more expensive than shared servers or VPS web hosting servers. Why would anyone, then, want to use them? The explanation is quite simple. If your firm has a high resource-swallowing web site, or simply has very exact server setup requirements, the proper option would be a dedicated servers. For someone who is inclined to invest in safety and dependability, the higher price is of no concern. You are bestowed with complete root-level access and can utilize 100% of the physical server's system resources without anyone else utilizing these system resources and messing with your websites.

Hardware specifications

The majority of hosting providers, incl. us at BuyWebHost.com, provide different hardware architectures you can select from based on your necessities. The hardware configurations offer different sorts of processors, a different number of cores, different RAM memory and disk drive sizes and different web traffic usage quotas. You can select a web hosting CP, which is convenient software if you wish to use the dedicated servers for hosting purposes solely and prefer not to resort to an SSH terminal for all the changes you will be making. We provide 3 types of web hosting Control Panel software - Hepsia, DirectAdmin and cPanel.

The web hosting CP of your choice

If you are a self-assured Linux OS user (our dedicated hosting web servers are running on Linux or other Unix-based OSs), you could administer your dedicated servers via an SSH client only. That, though, could be awkward, even more so if you choose to give root-level access to somebody else who has less technical knowledge than yourself. This is why having Control Panel software activated is a good idea. The Hepsia web hosting Control Panel tool that we offer does not include root-level access and is mainly appropriate for somebody who owns numerous sites that consume plenty of resources, but prefers to administer the web pages, databases and mail accounts through an easy-to-use Control Panel. The DirectAdmin and cPanel web hosting CPs, on the other hand, give you root-level access and have three levels of access - root, reseller and user. If you plan to resell web hosting plans rather than using the dedicated servers only for yourself, you should pick 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 the event of a predicament with your dedicated hosting server, such as a non-responsive Apache or a downtime, it is good to have some sort of monitoring system enabled. Here at BuyWebHost.com 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 as well. Backups are also an extra feature - the web hosting distributor offers you data backups on our own backup servers. You could choose a type of RAID that would permit you to keep the very same data on 2 server hard drives as a precaution in case of a server hard disk failure, or in case someone whom you have ranted full root access erases something by accident.
