Dedicated Hosting Explanation

When we talk about web hosting servers, there are three principal kinds - shared website hosting web servers, VPS (virtual private hosting servers) and dedicated hosting servers. Shared web hosting servers accommodate numerous customers and therefore the system resources per user account are limited, virtual private server packages offer more server configuration liberty, but also affect other VPSs on the hardware node if used imprudently, and dedicated servers give you the opportunity to do everything you please without messing with anyone else.

Why would you need a dedicated hosting server?

Dedicated servers are usually much more high-priced than shared servers or VPSs. Why would anyone, then, want to use them? The explanation is very simple. If your firm has a high resource-absorbing website, or just has very explicit web server configuration requirements, the most appropriate choice is a dedicated server. For someone who is inclined to invest in security and stability, the higher price is not an issue. You acquire full server root access and can utilize 100% of the server's resources without anyone else availing of these system resources and interfering with your sites.

Hardware architectures

The majority of web hosting firms, including us at EU SuperHost, provide different hardware configurations you can choose from on the basis of your requirements. The hardware architectures include different varieties of processors, a different amount of cores, different RAM and server hard drive sizes and different web traffic quotas. You can select a hosting CP, which is a handy GUI if you would like to use the dedicated hosting web server for hosting purposes solely and choose not to resort to an SSH terminal for all the changes you will be making. We provide three sorts of web hosting CP software - Hepsia, DirectAdmin and cPanel.

The web hosting CP of your choosing

If you are a confident Linux user (our servers are running on Linux or other Unix-based Operating Systems), you could manage your dedicated server through a Secure Shell tunnel exclusively. That, though, could be awkward, particularly if you decide to give complete server root access to someone else who has less technical proficiency than yourself. That is why having Control Panel software activated is a nice idea. The Hepsia web hosting CP tool that we offer does not give you root privileges and is mostly suitable for somebody who owns numerous web pages that require lots of resources, but desires to manage the sites, databases and electronic mail accounts via an easy-to-use Control Panel. The DirectAdmin and cPanel web hosting CPs, on the other hand, give you full root privileges and have 3 access levels - root, reseller and user. If you plan to resell web hosting plans rather than utilizing the web hosting server solely for yourself, you should pick one of these two.

Web server monitoring and backup services

Last but not least, there is the issue of monitoring the dedicated hosting server and of backing it up. In the event of a predicament with your server, like an unresponsive Apache or a network outage, it is good to have some sort of monitoring system enabled. Here at EU SuperHost the system administrators monitor all dedicated servers for ping timeouts, and, if you have a Managed Services package, they monitor the individual services on the dedicated hosting server too. Backups are also an additional option - the web hosting services provider offers you data backups on our own backup web servers. You could pick a kind of RAID that would allow you to save the very same data on two server hard disk drives as a precaution in the event of a hard disk failure, or in case someone whom you have given complete root access erases something unintentionally.
