What Indeed are Dedicated Web Hosting Servers?

When we talk about hosting web servers, there are three major kinds - website hosting servers, VPS (Virtual Private Servers) and dedicated web hosting. Shared hosting servers accommodate a lot of customers and therefore the system resources per user account are limited, VPS web hosting offer more server configuration autonomy, but also affect other private virtual hosting servers on the hardware node if used heedlessly, and dedicated web hosting servers give you the independence to carry out everything you decide without interfering with anyone else.

Why would you require a dedicated web hosting servers?

Dedicated web hosting servers are typically much more high-priced than shared servers or virtual web servers. Why would anyone, then, use them? The answer is pretty simple. If your corporation has a resource-demanding web portal, or just has very exact web server configuration requirements, the most appropriate choice is a dedicated web hosting servers. For someone who is inclined to invest in security and dependability, the higher price is not an issue. You receive root privileges and can utilize 100 percent of the dedicated web hosting server's system resources without anyone else using these system resources and interfering with your web portals.

Hardware specs

The majority of hosting vendors, including us at TopDomainCheck.com, offer several hardware configurations you can pick from according to your demands. The hardware architectures offer different varieties of processors, a different number of cores, different RAM and hard disk drive sizes and different bandwidth quotas. You can pick a web hosting CP, which is a convenient GUI if you would like to use the dedicated web hosting servers for hosting purposes only and prefer not to use a Secure Shell console for all the modifications you will be making. We offer 3 sorts of web hosting CP software - Hepsia, DirectAdmin and cPanel.

The hosting CP of your preference

If you are a self-assured Linux user (our servers are running on Linux or other Unix-based Operating Systems), you could manage your dedicated web hosting servers via an SSH connection exclusively. That, however, could be awkward, even more so if you want to grant root privileges to somebody else who has less technical skills than yourself. This is why having Control Panel software installed is a nice idea. The Hepsia web hosting CP GUI that we provide does not offer complete server root access and is mostly appropriate for somebody who owns plenty of online portals that consume a lot of system resources, but prefers to administer the web pages, databases and mailbox aliases using an intuitive hosting CP. The DirectAdmin and cPanel Control Panels, on the other hand, grant root privileges and include 3 access levels - root, reseller and user. If you intend to resell hosting packages rather than using the dedicated web hosting servers just for yourself, you should select one of these two.

Server monitoring and backup services

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 problem with your dedicated web hosting server, like a non-responsive Apache or a network outage, it is desirable to have some kind of monitoring platform activated. Here at TopDomainCheck.com the system administrators monitor all dedicated web hosting servers for ping timeouts, and, if you order a Managed Services upgrade, they monitor the individual services on the dedicated web hosting servers as well. Backups are also an extra option - the web hosting vendor offers you data backups on our own backup servers. You could choose a kind of RAID that would permit you to keep the very same data on 2 disk drives as a precaution in case of a server disk drive failure, or in case someone whom you have given complete root-level access deletes something by mistake.
