Dedicated Hosting Services Revealed

When we talk about web hosting servers, there are 3 main kinds - shared website hosting web servers, VPS (private virtual web hosting servers) and dedicated hosting servers. Shared servers host many customers and thus the system resources per web hosting account are restricted, virtual private server packages offer more server configuration freedom, but also affect other virtual private web servers on the hardware node if utilized rashly, and dedicated servers give you the autonomy to perform everything you please without intervening with anyone else.

Why would you need a dedicated hosting server?

Dedicated servers are generally much more expensive than shared web hosting servers or virtual private web servers. Why would anyone, then, want to use them? The explanation is very simple. If your firm has a resource-requiring site, or simply has very exact web server configuration requirements, the right choice would be a dedicated server. For somebody who is willing to invest in security and dependability, the greater price is not an issue. You are granted complete root access and can utilize 100% of the physical machine's system resources without anyone else sharing these system resources and intervening with your web portals.

Hardware configurations

Most web hosting providers, including us at Hesshost.com - Because Speed Is What You Need For More Exposure, provide several different hardware architectures you can pick from in line with your requirements. The hardware architectures offer different types of microprocessors, a different amount of cores, different RAM and server hard drive sizes and different monthly traffic usage quotas. You can select a hosting CP, which is useful software if you want to use the hosting server for website hosting purposes only and prefer not to use a Secure Shell terminal for all the changes you will be making. We offer 3 sorts of hosting CP software - Hepsia, DirectAdmin and cPanel.

The hosting CP of your preference

If you are a self-confident Linux OS user (our servers are powered by Linux or other Unix-based OSs), you could manage your dedicated server via a Secure Shell client only. That, however, could be inconvenient, especially if you decide to grant complete server root access to somebody else who has less technical experience than yourself. This is why having Control Panel software installed is a splendid idea. The Hepsia hosting CP graphical user interface that we provide does not give you root-level access and is chiefly suitable for someone who runs plenty of web sites that absorb plenty of system resources, but would like to manage the websites, databases and email box accounts through an easy-to-use web hosting Control Panel. The DirectAdmin and cPanel Control Panels, on the other hand, give you full root privileges and offer three access levels - root, reseller and user. If you plan to resell hosting accounts instead of using the web server just for yourself, you should choose one of these two.

Web server monitoring and backup services

Last but not least, there is the matter of monitoring the dedicated hosting server and of backing it up. In case of a predicament with your web server, such as an unresponsive Apache or an outage, it is good to have some sort of monitoring system activated. Here at Hesshost.com - Because Speed Is What You Need For More Exposure the system administrators monitor all dedicated servers for ping timeouts, and, if you order a Managed Services upgrade, they monitor the separate services on the dedicated hosting server as well. Backups are also an additional feature - the web hosting company offers you data backups on our own backup web servers. You could pick a type of RAID that would permit you to keep the very same data on 2 hard disks as a protective measure in case of a disk drive failure, or in case someone whom you have given root access deletes something by accident.
