Dedicated Web Hosting Servers Definition

When we talk about hosting web servers, there are three main types - website hosting servers, VPS (virtual private web servers) and dedicated web hosting. Shared hosting servers host many customers and so the resources per hosting account are restricted, VPS web hosting give you more configuration liberty, but also influence other virtual servers on the hardware node if used imprudently, and dedicated web hosting servers offer you the liberty 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 usually much more expensive than shared hosting servers or virtual private web servers. Why would anyone, then, want to use them? The reply is rather simple. If your company has a resource-absorbing website, or simply has very exact web server setup requirements, the proper choice would be a dedicated web hosting servers. For someone who is prepared to invest in security and stability, the higher price is not a concern. You acquire complete root-level access and can use 100 percent of the physical machine's system resources without anyone else utilizing these resources and messing with your sites.

Hardware configurations

The majority of hosting vendors, incl. us at Host Diversity, provide several different hardware configurations you can choose from on the basis of your necessities. The hardware architectures include different types of microprocessors, a different amount of cores, different RAM memory and hard disk sizes and different web traffic allowances. You can choose a web hosting CP, which is useful software if you want to utilize the dedicated web hosting servers for website hosting purposes solely and choose not to use an SSH client for all the modifications you will be making. We offer three types of Control Panel software - Hepsia, DirectAdmin and cPanel.

The hosting Control Panel of your choosing

If you are a self-reliant Linux user (our servers are running on Linux or other Unix-based Operating Systems), you could administer your dedicated web hosting through SSH exclusively. That, though, could be awkward, even more so if you want to give full server root privileges to somebody else who has less technical skills than yourself. That is why having web hosting Control Panel software pre-installed is an intelligent idea. The Hepsia hosting Control Panel tool that we provide does not offer full root-level access and is chiefly suitable for somebody who owns lots of sites that require plenty of system resources, but wishes to manage the websites, databases and email boxes through an intuitive hosting CP. The DirectAdmin and cPanel hosting CPs, on the other hand, give you root access and have 3 levels of access - root, reseller and user. If you plan to resell hosting packages rather than using the dedicated web hosting servers only for yourself, you should choose one of these two.

Server monitoring and backup services

Last but not least, there is the matter of monitoring the dedicated web hosting servers and of backing it up. In the event of a predicament with your web server, such as an unresponsive Apache or a network outage, it is useful to have some kind of monitoring platform enabled. Here at Host Diversity 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 as well. Backups are also a bonus option - the web hosting company offers you data backups on our own backup servers. You could choose a kind of RAID that would allow you to save the same data on two server hard disk drives as a protective measure in the event of a server disk drive failure, or in case someone whom you have given full root privileges deletes something by mistake.
