How Does Dedicated Hosting Function?

When we talk about hosting servers, there are 3 major types - shared web hosting web servers, VPS (virtual private web servers) and dedicated servers. Shared servers accommodate multiple customers and hence the resources per web hosting account are restricted, VPS accounts give you more configuration autonomy, but also influence other virtual web hosting servers on the hardware node if used heedlessly, and dedicated servers give you the opportunity to carry out everything you desire without meddling with anyone else.

Why would you need a dedicated server?

Dedicated servers are generally much more high-priced than shared servers or virtual web hosting servers. Why would anyone, then, use them? The answer is quite simple. If your firm has a resource-consuming web page, or just has very precise web server configuration requirements, the smartest option would be a dedicated server. For somebody who is prepared to invest in security and dependability, the bigger price is not a concern. You receive root privileges and can utilize 100 percent of the hosting server's system resources without anyone else availing of these system resources and intervening with your sites.

Hardware architectures

The majority of hosting providers, incl. us at Besafe1st Hosting, provide several hardware configurations you can choose from in keeping with your necessities. The hardware architectures include different kinds of processors, a different number of cores, different RAM and server hard disk sizes and different bandwidth allowances. You can pick a hosting CP, which is a useful interface if you would like to utilize the web server for web hosting purposes solely and prefer not to use a Secure Shell client for all the changes you will be making. We provide 3 sorts of web hosting Control Panel software - Hepsia, DirectAdmin and cPanel.

The hosting Control Panel of your choosing

If you are a self-assured Linux user (our servers are powered by Linux or other Unix-based Operating Systems), you could administer your dedicated server via an SSH console only. That, however, could be awkward, particularly if you choose to grant full server root access to somebody else who has less technical abilities than yourself. That is why having web hosting CP software activated is a nice idea. The Hepsia web hosting CP interface that we provide does not give you root access and is chiefly appropriate for someone who maintains a lot of web portals that devour plenty of system resources, but wants to manage the web pages, databases and e-mailboxes using a user-friendly hosting Control Panel. The DirectAdmin and cPanel hosting CPs, on the other hand, give you full root access and have three levels of access - root, reseller and user. If you plan to resell web hosting plans instead of using the web hosting server only for yourself, you should select one of these two.

Web server monitoring and backup procedures

Last but not least, there is the matter of monitoring the dedicated server and of backing it up. In case of a problem with your dedicated server, like a non-responsive Apache or a network downtime, it is good to have some kind of monitoring system enabled. Here at Besafe1st Hosting the system administrators monitor all dedicated servers for ping timeouts, and, if you order a Managed Services upgrade, they monitor the individual services on the dedicated server too. Backups are also an additional feature - the hosting vendor offers you data backups on our own backup servers. You could choose a kind of RAID that would permit you to save the very same data on two hard disks as a precaution in the event of a hard disk drive failure, or in case someone whom you have given root-level access erases something unintentionally.
