What Do Dedicated Web Hosting Servers Stand for?

When we talk about hosting web servers, there are three main categories - shared web hosting web servers, VPS (private virtual web servers) and dedicated web hosting servers. Shared servers accommodate a lot of customers and thus the system resources per web hosting account are limited, virtual private server packages offer more configuration liberty, but also influence other virtual web hosting servers on the hardware node if used rashly, and dedicated servers give you the independence to do everything you see fit without messing with anyone else.

Why would you need a dedicated web hosting server?

Dedicated servers are typically much more high-priced than shared hosting servers or virtual web hosting servers. Why would anyone, then, use them? The reply is rather simple. If your corporation has a resource-demanding website, or just has very special server architecture requirements, the most sensible option is a dedicated server. For someone who is prepared to invest in safety and dependability, the greater price is not a problem. You get complete root access and can utilize 100 percent of the dedicated hosting web server's resources without anyone else availing of these system resources and intervening with your web pages.

Hardware configurations

The majority of website hosting distributors, including us at Nana Sunarti Web Cloud Hosting, provide several hardware architectures you can choose from according to your demands. The hardware architectures offer different varieties of processors, a different number of cores, different RAM memory and server disk drive sizes and different monthly bandwidth quotas. You can choose a hosting CP, which is a convenient tool if you want to utilize the dedicated web hosting server 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 CP software - Hepsia, DirectAdmin and cPanel.

The web hosting Control Panel of your choice

If you are a confident Linux OS user (our hosting servers are powered by Linux or other Unix-based Operating Systems), you could manage your dedicated server through an SSH tunnel only. That, though, could be inconvenient, even more so if you want to grant complete server root access to someone else who has less technical experience than yourself. This is why having Control Panel software pre-activated is a nice idea. The Hepsia Control Panel graphical user interface that we offer does not give you root privileges and is mostly appropriate for somebody who has plenty of web sites that demand a lot of resources, but prefers to administer the online portals, databases and mails via an intuitive hosting CP. The DirectAdmin and cPanel web hosting CPs, on the other hand, grant full server root access and offer three levels of access - root, reseller and user. If you intend to resell hosting packages instead of utilizing the web server solely for yourself, you should select one of these two.

Server monitoring and backup procedures

Last but not least, there is the issue of monitoring the dedicated web hosting server and of backing it up. In case of a predicament with your dedicated hosting web server, such as a non-responsive Apache or a downtime, it is good to have some sort of monitoring system enabled. Here at Nana Sunarti Web Cloud Hosting 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 web hosting server as well. Backups are also an extra option - the web hosting company offers you data backups on our own backup web servers. You could pick a type of RAID that would allow you to have the same data on two hard drives as a precaution in case of a hard disk drive failure, or in case someone whom you have given root-level access deletes something accidentally.
