Description of Dedicated Hosting

When we speak of hosting web servers, there are 3 basic categories - web hosting servers, VPS (virtual private hosting servers) and dedicated hosting. Shared hosting web servers accommodate lots of clients and so the resources per account are limited, VPS hosting offer more server configuration independence, but also affect other VPS web servers on the hardware node if used imprudently, and dedicated hosting servers give you the option to perform everything you think fit without interfering with anyone else.

Why would you require a dedicated hosting servers?

Dedicated hosting servers are traditionally much more expensive than shared servers or virtual private hosting servers. Why would anyone, then, want to use them? The answer is rather simple. If your corporation has a repeatedly visited web portal, or simply has very explicit server architecture requirements, the smartest choice would be a dedicated hosting servers. For somebody who is willing to invest in security and dependability, the higher price is not a concern. You get root-level access and can utilize 100% of the physical server's resources without anyone else utilizing these resources and interfering with your sites.

Hardware architectures

The majority of web hosting corporations, incl. us at Hostbefikar, provide different hardware configurations you can select from on the basis of your requirements. The configurations include different sorts of processors, a different number of cores, different RAM memory and disk drive sizes and different traffic quotas. You can pick a hosting CP, which is a convenient GUI if you wish to use the dedicated hosting servers for hosting purposes solely and prefer not to resort to a Secure Shell terminal for all the changes you will be making. We offer 3 kinds of hosting Control Panel software - Hepsia, DirectAdmin and cPanel.

The hosting CP of your choice

If you are a self-reliant Linux user (our web hosting servers are running on Linux or other Unix-based Operating Systems), you could administer your dedicated hosting servers via a Secure Shell client only. That, though, could be awkward, especially if you want to give full root-level access to someone else who has less technical proficiency than yourself. This is why having web hosting Control Panel software pre-installed is a bright idea. The Hepsia hosting Control Panel software that we provide does not include full server root privileges and is mainly appropriate for somebody who has many sites that absorb lots of resources, but would like to administer the sites, databases and electronic mail accounts using an intuitive Control Panel. The DirectAdmin and cPanel Control Panels, on the other hand, grant full root-level access and have 3 levels of access - root, reseller and user. If you plan to resell hosting packages instead of utilizing the dedicated hosting servers solely for yourself, you should pick one of these two.

Web server monitoring and backup services

Last but not least, there is the matter of monitoring the dedicated hosting servers and of backing it up. In case of a problem with your web server, such as an unresponsive Apache or a downtime, it is good to have some sort of monitoring platform enabled. Here at Hostbefikar the system administrators monitor all dedicated hosting servers for ping timeouts, and, if you order a Managed Services upgrade, they monitor the separate services on the dedicated hosting servers as well. Backups are also an additional option - the web hosting supplier offers you data backups on our own backup web servers. You could pick a type of RAID that would permit you to have the same data on two server hard disks as a precaution in the event of a hard drive failure, or in case someone whom you have given root privileges erases something by accident.
