What is Dedicated Servers Web Hosting?

When we speak of hosting web servers, there are three main types - shared web hosting servers, VPS (virtual private web servers) and dedicated server web hosting. Shared hosting servers accommodate many clients and so the resources per account are limited, VPS web hosting give you more server configuration independence, but also influence other private virtual web hosting servers on the hardware node if used unwisely, and dedicated web hosting servers offer you the freedom to perform everything you prefer without meddling with anyone else.

Why would you require a dedicated web hosting servers?

Dedicated web hosting servers are commonly much more high-priced than shared hosting servers or virtual web servers. Why would anyone, then, use them? The explanation is quite simple. If your corporation has a busy site, or just has very specific web server configuration requirements, the right option would be a dedicated web hosting servers. For someone who is inclined to invest in security and reliability, the bigger price is not a problem. You have full server root privileges and can use 100% of the dedicated server's resources without anyone else utilizing these resources and meddling with your web pages.

Hardware configurations

The majority of hosting distributors, incl. us at WebDomain.Tech, offer several different hardware configurations you can choose from as per your necessities. The hardware configurations offer different kinds of processors, a different amount of cores, different RAM memory and server hard disk drive sizes and different traffic usage quotas. You can pick a web hosting CP, which is a convenient interface if you wish to utilize the dedicated web hosting servers for hosting purposes solely and prefer not to resort to an SSH console for all the changes you will be making. We provide three types of hosting Control Panel software - Hepsia, DirectAdmin and cPanel.

The web hosting Control Panel of your choice

If you are a confident Linux OS user (our dedicated web hosting servers are running on Linux or other Unix-based OSs), you could manage your dedicated server web hosting via a Secure Shell client only. That, however, could be inconvenient, particularly if you choose to give full root-level access to somebody else who has less technical knowledge than yourself. That is why having Control Panel software installed is a bright idea. The Hepsia web hosting CP software tool that we offer does not give you full server root access and is mainly suitable for somebody who maintains many web portals that absorb plenty of resources, but wishes to administer the sites, databases and mailbox accounts using a user-friendly hosting CP. The DirectAdmin and cPanel hosting CPs, on the other hand, grant full server root access and have 3 levels of access - root, reseller and user. If you intend to resell hosting packages instead of using the dedicated web hosting servers just for yourself, you should choose one of these two.

Web server monitoring and backup procedures

Last but not least, there is the matter of monitoring the dedicated web hosting servers and of backing it up. In the event of a problem with your hosting server, like an unresponsive Apache or a downtime, it is desirable to have some sort of monitoring platform activated. Here at WebDomain.Tech the system administrators monitor all dedicated web hosting servers for ping timeouts, and, if you have a Managed Services package, they monitor the individual services on the dedicated web hosting servers too. Backups are also an extra option - the hosting solutions provider offers you data backups on our own backup servers. You could select a type of RAID that would allow you to keep the same data on 2 server hard drives as a precaution in the event of a hard drive failure, or in case someone whom you have given complete root-level access deletes something by mistake.
