Dedicated Web Hosting Description

When we talk about hosting servers, there are three major types - web hosting servers, VPS (Virtual Private Servers) and dedicated web hosting. Shared servers accommodate multiple clients and thus the system resources per account are restricted, VPS web hosting give you more configuration liberty, but also influence other VPSs on the hardware node if used unwisely, and dedicated servers offer you the possibility to do everything you want without messing with anyone else.

Why would you require a dedicated servers?

Dedicated servers are generally much more high-priced than shared hosting servers or virtual private web hosting servers. Why would anyone, then, use them? The answer is quite simple. If your corporation has a resource-swallowing web site, or just has very specific server configuration requirements, the most logical choice is a dedicated servers. For somebody who is willing to invest in security and dependability, the higher price is not an issue. You are given full root-level access and can utilize 100% of the physical server's resources without anyone else availing of these system resources and intervening with your web pages.

Hardware specifications

Most web hosting suppliers, including us at iTech Solution, offer several different hardware architectures you can select from on the basis of your requirements. The configurations offer different types of processors, a different number of cores, different RAM and disk drive sizes and different web traffic usage quotas. You can pick a hosting Control Panel, which is useful software if you want to utilize the dedicated servers for web hosting purposes only and prefer not to resort to an SSH client for all the modifications you will be making. We offer 3 sorts of web hosting CP software - Hepsia, DirectAdmin and cPanel.

The hosting CP of your choosing

If you are a self-confident Linux OS user (our dedicated web hosting servers are powered by Linux or other Unix-based Operating Systems), you could administer your dedicated web hosting via a Secure Shell client exclusively. That, however, could be awkward, particularly if you want to grant root privileges to somebody else who has less technical proficiency than yourself. This is why having web hosting Control Panel software pre-activated is a great idea. The Hepsia hosting CP GUI that we offer does not give you full root-level access and is mostly appropriate for someone who has plenty of web portals that devour lots of system resources, but would rather administer the websites, databases and electronic mails through an intuitive web hosting CP. The DirectAdmin and cPanel Control Panels, on the other hand, give you full server root access and include 3 access levels - root, reseller and user. If you plan to resell hosting packages instead of utilizing the dedicated servers solely 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 servers and of backing it up. In case of a problem with your web hosting server, like a non-responsive Apache or a network downtime, it is advisable to have some kind of monitoring system activated. Here at iTech Solution 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 servers too. Backups are also an extra feature - the web hosting solutions provider offers you data backups on our own backup servers. You could pick a type of RAID that would allow you to have the same data on two server hard disk drives as a precaution in case of a hard drive failure, or in case someone whom you have given root access deletes something unintentionally.
