What Exactly is Dedicated Hosting?

When we speak of web hosting servers, there are 3 basic kinds - web hosting servers, VPS (virtual web servers) and dedicated hosting. Shared web hosting servers host lots of customers and so the resources per account are restricted, VPS hosting offer more configuration autonomy, but also influence other Virtual Private Servers on the hardware node if utilized unwisely, and dedicated hosting servers give you the chance to carry out everything you desire without intervening with anyone else.

Why would you require a dedicated hosting servers?

Dedicated hosting servers are typically much more expensive than shared web hosting servers or virtual private web servers. Why would anyone, then, use them? The explanation is very simple. If your firm has a resource-consuming website, or simply has very specific web server setup requirements, the proper choice is a dedicated hosting servers. For someone who is prepared to invest in security and stability, the higher price is of no concern. You are granted full server root privileges and can utilize 100% of the physical server's resources without anyone else utilizing these system resources and intervening with your websites.

Hardware architectures

Most website hosting suppliers, incl. us at SIANA HOSTING, offer several hardware architectures you can pick from in keeping with your needs. The configurations include different kinds of microprocessors, a different number of cores, different RAM and hard disk sizes and different traffic quotas. You can choose a web hosting CP, which is a handy user interface if you want to use the dedicated hosting servers for hosting purposes only and choose not to use a Secure Shell console for all the modifications you will be making. We offer three sorts of Control Panel software - Hepsia, DirectAdmin and cPanel.

The hosting CP of your choosing

If you are a self-reliant Linux OS user (our dedicated hosting web servers are running on Linux or other Unix-based OSs), you could administer your dedicated hosting through an SSH tunnel exclusively. That, though, could be awkward, even more so if you decide to grant complete server root access to someone else who has less technical expertise than yourself. This is why having web hosting Control Panel software pre-activated is a clever idea. The Hepsia web hosting Control Panel software that we offer does not offer complete server root access and is chiefly suitable for somebody who maintains multiple web portals that devour a lot of resources, but desires to manage the online portals, databases and electronic mail aliases through an easy-to-use hosting CP. The DirectAdmin and cPanel web hosting Control Panels, on the other hand, grant full root privileges and have 3 levels of access - root, reseller and user. If you plan to resell hosting accounts instead of utilizing the dedicated hosting servers only for yourself, you should select one of these two.

Server monitoring and backup procedures

Last but not least, there is the issue of monitoring the dedicated hosting servers and of backing it up. In case of a predicament with your server, such as an unresponsive Apache or a network downtime, it is desirable to have some kind of monitoring system activated. Here at SIANA HOSTING the system administrators monitor all dedicated hosting servers for ping timeouts, and, if you order a Managed Services upgrade, they monitor the individual services on the dedicated hosting servers too. Backups are also an additional feature - the web hosting company offers you data backups on our own backup servers. You could choose a type of RAID that would permit you to save the very same data on two hard disk drives as a protective measure in case of a server disk drive failure, or in case someone whom you have given full root-level access erases something by accident.
