What is Dedicated Servers Hosting?

When we speak of hosting servers, there are 3 major categories - shared hosting servers, VPS (private virtual servers) and dedicated servers. Shared web hosting servers host lots of clients and so the resources per account are limited, VPS hosting give you more server configuration liberty, but also affect other Virtual Private Servers on the hardware node if utilized unwisely, and dedicated hosting servers offer you the chance to do everything you like without meddling with anyone else.

Why would you need a dedicated hosting servers?

Dedicated hosting servers are commonly much more expensive than shared hosting servers or virtual private web hosting servers. Why would anyone, then, use them? The explanation is very simple. If your firm has a big web page, or simply has very precise server architecture requirements, the most logical option is a dedicated hosting servers. For someone who is inclined to invest in security and stability, the greater price is not a concern. You get full server root privileges and can utilize 100 percent of the web server's system resources without anyone else sharing these system resources and interfering with your web portals.

Hardware configurations

Most hosting providers, incl. us at Triple O Hosting, offer several different hardware configurations you can pick from in keeping with your necessities. The hardware architectures include different sorts of microprocessors, a different number of cores, different RAM memory and server hard disk drive sizes and different bandwidth usage quotas. You can choose a Control Panel, which is a handy user interface if you would like to use the dedicated hosting servers for website hosting purposes solely and choose not to resort to an SSH terminal for all the modifications you will be making. We offer three sorts of hosting Control Panel software - Hepsia, DirectAdmin and cPanel.

The Control Panel of your preference

If you are a confident Linux user (our web hosting servers are powered by Linux or other Unix-based Operating Systems), you could administer your dedicated servers via a Secure Shell terminal exclusively. That, though, could be inconvenient, particularly if you decide to grant full root-level access to someone else who has less technical experience than yourself. That is why having web hosting Control Panel software activated is a bright idea. The Hepsia Control Panel tool that we provide does not give you root access and is chiefly appropriate for someone who runs lots of websites that demand a lot of resources, but wants to manage the web sites, databases and e-mail addresses using a user-friendly hosting CP. The DirectAdmin and cPanel web hosting Control Panels, on the other hand, grant full server root privileges and offer three levels of access - root, reseller and user. If you intend to resell web hosting packages rather than utilizing the dedicated hosting servers just 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 hosting servers and of backing it up. In the event of a predicament with your web server, like a non-responsive Apache or a network outage, it is useful to have some sort of monitoring platform enabled. Here at Triple O 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 option - the hosting distributor offers you data backups on our own backup servers. You could select a type of RAID that would permit you to keep the same data on 2 disk drives as a protective measure in the event of a server hard drive failure, or in case someone whom you have given complete server root access deletes something by mistake.
