Dedicated Server Web Hosting Unveiled

When we speak of hosting web servers, there are 3 principal types - shared web hosting servers, VPS (Virtual Private Servers) and dedicated server web hosting. Shared hosting servers host a lot of customers and so the system resources per hosting account are limited, VPS web hosting give you more configuration freedom, but also influence other Virtual Private Servers on the hardware node if utilized rashly, and dedicated web hosting servers give you the chance to perform everything you think fit without messing with anyone else.

Why would you need a dedicated web hosting servers?

Dedicated web hosting servers are usually much more high-priced than shared web hosting servers or private virtual web servers. Why would anyone, then, want to use them? The explanation is quite simple. If your corporation has a high resource-requiring web portal, or simply has very specific web server architecture requirements, the right option would be a dedicated web hosting servers. For somebody who is ready to invest in security and reliability, the higher price is of no concern. You receive full server root access and can utilize 100 percent of the dedicated web hosting server's resources without anyone else availing of these system resources and messing with your sites.

Hardware architectures

Most hosting companies, incl. us at Cheeta VPS, offer different hardware architectures you can choose from in accordance with your demands. The hardware architectures offer different sorts of processors, a different number of cores, different RAM memory and server hard disk drive sizes and different monthly traffic usage quotas. You can choose a hosting Control Panel, which is a useful software tool if you wish to use the dedicated web hosting servers for hosting purposes solely and choose not to use a Secure Shell client for all the modifications you will be making. We provide 3 kinds of web hosting Control Panel software - Hepsia, DirectAdmin and cPanel.

The Control Panel of your choosing

If you are a self-assured Linux OS user (our web hosting servers are running on Linux or other Unix-based Operating Systems), you could manage your dedicated web hosting servers through an SSH connection exclusively. That, though, could be awkward, especially if you decide to give access to someone else who has less technical abilities than yourself. This is why having Control Panel software activated is an excellent idea. The Hepsia web hosting CP tool that we provide does not give you full root-level access and is chiefly appropriate for somebody who maintains many web portals that demand lots of system resources, but would rather manage the websites, databases and email mailboxes via a user-friendly Control Panel. The DirectAdmin and cPanel hosting CPs, on the other hand, give you full root access and include three access levels - root, reseller and user. If you intend to resell hosting packages instead of utilizing the dedicated web hosting servers only for yourself, you should select one of these two.

Web 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 the event of a problem with your dedicated hosting web server, such as a non-responsive Apache or an outage, it is good to have some kind of monitoring platform enabled. Here at Cheeta VPS 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 as well. Backups are also an additional feature - the hosting services provider offers you data backups on our own backup web servers. You could choose a kind of RAID that would permit you to save 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 full root privileges erases something by accident.
