Dedicated Hosting Servers Description

When we speak of web hosting servers, there are three principal kinds - shared hosting servers, VPS (private virtual hosting servers) and dedicated servers. Shared servers host numerous clients and thus the system resources per account are limited, VPS hosting offer more server configuration independence, but also influence other Virtual Private Servers on the hardware node if used rashly, and dedicated hosting servers give you the freedom to carry out everything you choose without meddling with anyone else.

Why would you require a dedicated hosting servers?

Dedicated hosting servers are typically much more high-priced than shared servers or virtual hosting servers. Why would anyone, then, use them? The answer is pretty simple. If your corporation has a high resource-demanding web site, or simply has very precise web server configuration requirements, the best choice would be a dedicated hosting servers. For someone who is willing to invest in security and dependability, the higher price is of no concern. You are bestowed with complete root-level access and can utilize 100 percent of the physical server's system resources without anyone else using these system resources and interfering with your sites.

Hardware architectures

Most website hosting suppliers, incl. us at Wise Host Network, offer several different hardware configurations you can select from according to your needs. The hardware configurations offer different kinds of microprocessors, a different number of cores, different RAM and server hard disk sizes and different traffic quotas. You can choose a Control Panel, which is a handy tool if you want to utilize the dedicated hosting servers for website hosting purposes solely and prefer not to resort to a Secure Shell console for all the modifications you will be making. We offer 3 sorts of hosting Control Panel software - Hepsia, DirectAdmin and cPanel.

The web hosting Control Panel of your choosing

If you are a self-assured Linux user (our dedicated web hosting servers are powered by Linux or other Unix-based OSs), you could manage your dedicated servers via a Secure Shell tunnel exclusively. That, though, could be awkward, even more so if you wish to give root-level access to somebody else who has less technical experience than yourself. That is why having web hosting Control Panel software activated is a fine idea. The Hepsia hosting CP software tool that we offer does not include full root privileges and is mainly appropriate for somebody who has numerous web sites that swallow lots of resources, but prefers to manage the sites, databases and e-mail boxes using an easy-to-use hosting CP. The DirectAdmin and cPanel hosting CPs, on the other hand, grant complete root-level access and offer three levels of access - root, reseller and user. If you plan to resell web hosting packages instead of utilizing the dedicated hosting servers just for yourself, you should pick one of these two.

Server monitoring and backup procedures

Last but not least, there is the matter of monitoring the dedicated hosting servers and of backing it up. In case of a predicament with your hosting server, like a non-responsive Apache or a network downtime, it is desirable to have some sort of monitoring platform enabled. Here at Wise Host Network the system administrators monitor all dedicated hosting servers for ping timeouts, and, if you have a Managed Services package, they monitor the individual services on the dedicated hosting servers too. Backups are also a bonus option - the web hosting provider offers you data backups on our own backup web servers. You could choose a type of RAID that would permit you to keep the same data on 2 server hard disk drives as a protective measure in case of a server hard disk failure, or in case someone whom you have ranted full root-level access erases something accidentally.
