Dedicated Hosting Revealed

When we talk about hosting web servers, there are 3 basic categories - web hosting servers, VPS (Virtual Private Servers) and dedicated hosting. Shared hosting web servers accommodate lots of customers and hence the system resources per account are limited, VPS hosting offer more configuration liberty, but also affect other virtual private web hosting servers on the hardware node if used unwisely, and dedicated hosting servers give you the chance to perform everything you desire without meddling with anyone else.

Why would you require a dedicated hosting servers?

Dedicated hosting servers are usually much more high-priced than shared hosting web servers or private virtual servers. Why would anyone, then, want to use them? The answer is very simple. If your corporation has a high resource-consuming web page, or just has very explicit web server configuration requirements, the most logical choice would be a dedicated hosting servers. For someone who is prepared to invest in security and reliability, the higher price is not a concern. You gain full root privileges and can use 100 percent of the dedicated server's resources without anyone else utilizing these system resources and interfering with your web portals.

Hardware architectures

The majority of hosting distributors, incl. us at Your services cloud, provide several hardware configurations you can choose from based on your necessities. The hardware configurations offer different types of microprocessors, a different number of cores, different RAM and server hard disk drive sizes and different web traffic allowances. You can pick a web hosting Control Panel, which is a useful user interface if you wish to use the dedicated hosting servers for hosting purposes solely and prefer not to resort to an SSH client for all the modifications you will be making. We offer 3 types of Control Panel software - Hepsia, DirectAdmin and cPanel.

The web hosting CP of your choosing

If you are a self-reliant Linux user (our hosting servers are powered by Linux or other Unix-based Operating Systems), you could administer your dedicated hosting via SSH only. That, though, could be awkward, especially if you want to grant root privileges to somebody else who has less technical abilities than yourself. This is why having Control Panel software activated is an excellent idea. The Hepsia hosting CP user interface that we provide does not include complete server root access and is mainly suitable for someone who maintains numerous web sites that demand plenty of resources, but desires to manage the web sites, databases and email accounts using an intuitive hosting Control Panel. The DirectAdmin and cPanel web hosting Control Panels, on the other hand, grant full server root access and include three levels of access - root, reseller and user. If you plan to resell web hosting plans instead of using the dedicated hosting servers solely for yourself, you should select 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 problem with your dedicated server, like a non-responsive Apache or a downtime, it is advisable to have some kind of monitoring system enabled. Here at Your services cloud the system administrators monitor all dedicated hosting servers for ping timeouts, and, if you have a Managed Services package, they monitor the separate services on the dedicated hosting servers as well. Backups are also an additional feature - the hosting solutions provider offers you data backups on our own backup web servers. You could choose a kind of RAID that would permit you to keep the same data on 2 disk drives as a protective measure in the event of a server disk drive failure, or in case someone whom you have given complete root access deletes something by mistake.
