What Do Dedicated Hosting Servers Signify?

When we talk about hosting servers, there are three main varieties - shared hosting servers, VPS (virtual web hosting servers) and dedicated hosting. Shared servers host multiple customers and hence the system resources per user account are restricted, VPS hosting offer more configuration independence, but also influence other virtual private web hosting servers on the hardware node if used imprudently, and dedicated hosting servers give you the opportunity to perform everything you prefer without messing with anyone else.

Why would you require a dedicated hosting servers?

Dedicated hosting servers are generally much more high-priced than shared hosting web servers or VPS hosting servers. Why would anyone, then, use them? The reply is rather simple. If your corporation has a data-heavy web portal, or just has very specific web server configuration requirements, the right choice is a dedicated hosting servers. For somebody who is ready to invest in safety and dependability, the bigger price is not an issue. You are given full server root privileges and can utilize 100 percent of the dedicated hosting web server's system resources without anyone else sharing these system resources and meddling with your websites.

Hardware specs

Most website hosting suppliers, incl. us at CS IT PARK, provide several hardware architectures you can select from according to your demands. The hardware architectures include different types of microprocessors, a different amount of cores, different RAM memory and disk drive sizes and different web traffic allowances. You can pick a hosting CP, which is a convenient graphical user interface if you want to use the dedicated hosting servers for web hosting purposes only and prefer not to resort to a Secure Shell console for all the changes you will be making. We offer 3 types of hosting CP software - Hepsia, DirectAdmin and cPanel.

The web hosting CP of your preference

If you are a self-confident Linux OS user (our web hosting servers are running on Linux or other Unix-based OSs), you could administer your dedicated hosting via an SSH console only. That, though, could be awkward, especially if you wish to grant complete root-level access to someone else who has less technical knowledge than yourself. This is why having hosting Control Panel software activated is a bright idea. The Hepsia Control Panel graphical user interface that we offer does not include root access and is mostly appropriate for somebody who has multiple websites that swallow lots of system resources, but desires to manage the web pages, databases and email accounts using an intuitive hosting Control Panel. The DirectAdmin and cPanel Control Panels, on the other hand, grant root-level access and offer three access levels - root, reseller and user. If you intend to resell hosting plans rather than utilizing the dedicated hosting servers only for yourself, you should pick one of these two.

Server monitoring and backup services

Last but not least, there is the matter of monitoring the dedicated hosting servers and of backing it up. In the event of a predicament with your server, like a non-responsive Apache or a network outage, it is desirable to have some sort of monitoring system enabled. Here at CS IT PARK the system administrators monitor all dedicated hosting servers for ping timeouts, and, if you order a Managed Services upgrade, they monitor the individual services on the dedicated hosting servers as well. Backups are also an extra feature - the hosting services provider offers you data backups on our own backup servers. You could select a kind of RAID that would permit you to save the same data on two server disk drives as a precaution in case of a disk drive failure, or in case someone whom you have ranted complete root-level access deletes something accidentally.
