What Does Dedicated Servers Web Hosting Denote?

When we talk about hosting servers, there are 3 major categories - shared hosting web servers, VPS (private virtual web hosting servers) and dedicated web hosting servers. Shared web servers host a lot of customers and therefore the system resources per user account are limited, virtual private server plans offer more configuration autonomy, but also affect other virtual hosting servers on the hardware node if utilized rashly, and dedicated servers offer you the opportunity to carry out everything you think fit without messing with anyone else.

Why would you require a dedicated web hosting server?

Dedicated servers are normally much more expensive than shared hosting web servers or virtual hosting servers. Why would anyone, then, want to use them? The reply is rather simple. If your firm has a high resource-absorbing web page, or just has very explicit web server configuration requirements, the best option would be a dedicated server. For somebody who is ready to invest in security and dependability, the greater price is not an issue. You are given full root-level access and can utilize 100% of the dedicated hosting server's resources without anyone else utilizing these system resources and intervening with your web pages.

Hardware specs

The majority of shared web hosting vendors, including us at HostFlex, provide several hardware configurations you can select from according to your demands. The hardware configurations include different varieties of microprocessors, a different amount of cores, different RAM memory and server hard disk sizes and different bandwidth usage quotas. You can pick a web hosting CP, which is a useful interface if you wish to utilize the dedicated web hosting server for hosting purposes solely and prefer not to use a Secure Shell console for all the modifications you will be making. We provide three sorts of hosting Control Panel software - Hepsia, DirectAdmin and cPanel.

The web hosting CP of your choosing

If you are a self-confident Linux user (our dedicated hosting web servers are powered by Linux or other Unix-based OSs), you could manage your dedicated server through SSH only. That, though, could be awkward, even more so if you want to give complete root-level access to somebody else who has less technical experience than yourself. This is why having hosting Control Panel software pre-installed is a great idea. The Hepsia hosting Control Panel GUI that we offer does not include root-level access and is mainly appropriate for somebody who owns a lot of sites that require a lot of system resources, but would like to manage the web portals, databases and email mailbox accounts via an intuitive Control Panel. The DirectAdmin and cPanel web hosting CPs, on the other hand, give you root-level access and have three access levels - root, reseller and user. If you intend to resell web hosting packages rather than using the web hosting server only for yourself, you should choose one of these two.

Web server monitoring and backup procedures

Last but not least, there is the issue of monitoring the dedicated web hosting server and of backing it up. In the event of a predicament with your dedicated web hosting server, such as an unresponsive Apache or a network outage, it is desirable to have some sort of monitoring platform activated. Here at HostFlex 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 web hosting server too. Backups are also a bonus feature - the web hosting supplier offers you data backups on our own backup web servers. You could select a kind of RAID that would allow you to save the same data on two server hard drives as a protective measure in case of a server hard drive failure, or in case someone whom you have ranted complete root access erases something accidentally.
