What Does Dedicated Hosting Denote?

When we talk about hosting web servers, there are 3 principal kinds - shared hosting servers, VPS (virtual web servers) and dedicated servers. Shared servers host numerous clients and thus the system resources per user account are restricted, virtual private server plans give you more server configuration liberty, but also affect other private virtual web servers on the hardware node if utilized heedlessly, and dedicated servers give you the freedom to carry out everything you want without interfering with anyone else.

Why would you need a dedicated server?

Dedicated servers are generally much more high-priced than shared hosting servers or private virtual web servers. Why would anyone, then, use them? The answer is quite simple. If your firm has a big website, or just has very precise server setup requirements, the proper option is a dedicated server. For someone who is prepared to invest in safety and reliability, the higher price is not a concern. You are granted complete root access and can utilize 100% of the web server's resources without anyone else using these system resources and meddling with your web sites.

Hardware specifications

The majority of shared hosting suppliers, including us at 3000Host, offer several different hardware architectures you can pick from according to your needs. The hardware configurations include different types of processors, a different amount of cores, different RAM memory and hard disk sizes and different monthly bandwidth allowances. You can pick a web hosting Control Panel, which is handy software if you would like to utilize the dedicated hosting server for website hosting purposes only and prefer not to use an SSH terminal for all the changes you will be making. We offer three types of hosting CP software - Hepsia, DirectAdmin and cPanel.

The hosting Control Panel of your choice

If you are a confident Linux user (our hosting servers are running on Linux or other Unix-based Operating Systems), you could administer your dedicated server through a Secure Shell tunnel exclusively. That, however, could be awkward, particularly if you want to grant full server root privileges to someone else who has less technical abilities than yourself. This is why having hosting Control Panel software pre-activated is a splendid idea. The Hepsia hosting CP interface that we provide does not include root-level access and is chiefly suitable for someone who has many websites that devour plenty of resources, but would rather manage the web pages, databases and mail addresses using a user-friendly web hosting CP. The DirectAdmin and cPanel hosting Control Panels, on the other hand, grant root-level access and include 3 levels of access - root, reseller and user. If you intend to resell web hosting accounts rather than using the dedicated hosting web server only for yourself, you should choose one of these two.

Server monitoring and backup services

Last but not least, there is the matter of monitoring the dedicated server and of backing it up. In case of a predicament with your dedicated web hosting server, like an unresponsive Apache or a network downtime, it is good to have some kind of monitoring platform activated. Here at 3000Host the system administrators monitor all dedicated servers for ping timeouts, and, if you order a Managed Services upgrade, they monitor the separate services on the dedicated server too. Backups are also an extra option - the hosting supplier offers you data backups on our own backup servers. You could choose a kind of RAID that would permit you to have the same data on two server hard drives as a protective measure in the event of a hard disk drive failure, or in case someone whom you have ranted complete root access erases something by accident.
