Dedicated Web Hosting Servers Explanation

When we speak of web hosting servers, there are three basic types - shared web hosting servers, VPS (Virtual Private Servers) and dedicated server web hosting. Shared servers accommodate multiple customers and thus the resources per user account are limited, VPS web hosting offer more server configuration liberty, but also affect other virtual web servers on the hardware node if utilized rashly, and dedicated web hosting servers offer you the autonomy to perform everything you see fit without intervening with anyone else.

Why would you need a dedicated web hosting servers?

Dedicated web hosting servers are normally much more high-priced than shared web hosting servers or private virtual web servers. Why would anyone, then, want to use them? The answer is quite simple. If your firm has a popular web site, or just has very explicit web server configuration requirements, the most relevant option is a dedicated web hosting servers. For somebody who is willing to invest in security and reliability, the bigger price is not an issue. You gain complete root-level access and can utilize 100 percent of the hosting web server's resources without anyone else availing of these system resources and intervening with your websites.

Hardware specs

The majority of website hosting suppliers, incl. us at Throst, offer different hardware architectures you can pick from as per your demands. The configurations include different sorts of processors, a different amount of cores, different RAM memory and server hard drive sizes and different bandwidth allowances. You can pick a hosting CP, which is a useful software tool if you would like to use the dedicated web hosting servers for website hosting purposes only and choose not to use an SSH terminal for all the changes you will be making. We offer 3 kinds of hosting CP software - Hepsia, DirectAdmin and cPanel.

The web hosting CP of your choice

If you are a self-confident Linux user (our web hosting servers are running on Linux or other Unix-based Operating Systems), you could manage your dedicated server web hosting via a Secure Shell client exclusively. That, however, could be awkward, particularly if you choose to grant root privileges to somebody else who has less technical proficiency than yourself. This is why having Control Panel software activated is a nice idea. The Hepsia Control Panel software tool that we provide does not give you full root-level access and is mostly appropriate for someone who runs many sites that swallow plenty of resources, but prefers to manage the sites, databases and electronic mails using an easy-to-use web hosting Control Panel. The DirectAdmin and cPanel hosting Control Panels, on the other hand, give you complete server root access and have three access levels - root, reseller and user. If you plan to resell hosting plans instead of utilizing the dedicated web hosting servers solely for yourself, you should choose 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 case of a problem with your dedicated web hosting server, like an unresponsive Apache or a downtime, it is good to have some kind of monitoring system activated. Here at Throst the system administrators monitor all dedicated web hosting servers for ping timeouts, and, if you have a Managed Services package, they monitor the separate services on the dedicated web hosting servers too. Backups are also an additional option - the web hosting vendor offers you data backups on our own backup servers. You could select a kind of RAID that would permit you to keep the same data on two server hard disks as a protective measure in the event of a hard disk drive failure, or in case someone whom you have given complete root-level access deletes something unintentionally.
