What Do Dedicated Web Hosting Servers Represent?

When we speak of hosting web servers, there are three main types - website hosting servers, VPS (virtual private web hosting servers) and dedicated web hosting. Shared hosting web servers accommodate plenty of clients and so the resources per user account are restricted, VPS web hosting give you more configuration freedom, but also influence other private virtual web servers on the hardware node if utilized rashly, and dedicated web hosting servers offer you the possibility to perform everything you want without meddling with anyone else.

Why would you need a dedicated web hosting servers?

Dedicated web hosting servers are traditionally much more high-priced than shared servers or private virtual web servers. Why would anyone, then, want to use them? The explanation is pretty simple. If your firm has a heavy resource-demanding online portal, or just has very precise server setup requirements, the best choice would be a dedicated web hosting servers. For someone who is ready to invest in safety and dependability, the greater price is of no concern. You gain complete server root access and can utilize 100% of the physical server's system resources without anyone else sharing these system resources and interfering with your sites.

Hardware specs

Most web hosting corporations, incl. us at TopDomainCheck.com, provide several hardware configurations you can choose from according to your requirements. The hardware configurations offer different types of processors, a different number of cores, different RAM memory and hard disk sizes and different traffic usage quotas. You can pick a hosting Control Panel, which is convenient software if you wish to use the dedicated web hosting servers for web hosting purposes solely and choose not to use an SSH terminal for all the modifications you will be making. We provide 3 types of hosting CP software - Hepsia, DirectAdmin and cPanel.

The Control Panel of your preference

If you are a self-reliant Linux OS user (our dedicated web hosting servers are running on Linux or other Unix-based OSs), you could manage your dedicated web hosting via SSH only. That, however, could be awkward, especially if you want to give complete root-level 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 Control Panel user interface that we offer does not offer full root access and is chiefly appropriate for somebody who maintains lots of online portals that swallow plenty of system resources, but wishes to manage the web sites, databases and e-mail accounts via an easy-to-use web hosting Control Panel. The DirectAdmin and cPanel hosting CPs, on the other hand, grant full server root access and offer three levels of access - root, reseller and user. If you plan to resell hosting packages instead of utilizing the dedicated web hosting servers 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 servers and of backing it up. In the event of a predicament with your dedicated web hosting server, like a non-responsive Apache or a downtime, it is useful to have some sort of monitoring system activated. Here at TopDomainCheck.com 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 additional feature - the web hosting solutions provider offers you data backups on our own backup servers. You could pick a kind of RAID that would permit you to have the same data on two server hard drives as a precaution in case of a server hard disk failure, or in case someone whom you have ranted complete root access erases something accidentally.
