What Exactly is Dedicated Servers Web Hosting?

When we speak of web hosting servers, there are 3 major types - shared web hosting servers, VPS (virtual web servers) and dedicated server web hosting. Shared web hosting servers host lots of clients and hence the resources per user account are limited, VPS web hosting offer more server configuration autonomy, but also influence other VPSs on the hardware node if used heedlessly, and dedicated web hosting servers give you the opportunity to carry out everything you like without intervening with anyone else.

Why would you need a dedicated web hosting servers?

Dedicated web hosting servers are usually much more expensive than shared web hosting servers or private virtual web hosting servers. Why would anyone, then, use them? The reply is rather simple. If your company has a resource-consuming web site, or simply has very explicit web server setup requirements, the most reasonable option would be a dedicated web hosting servers. For someone who is prepared to invest in security and stability, the higher price is not an issue. You acquire full root access and can use 100 percent of the web server's system resources without anyone else availing of these system resources and interfering with your sites.

Hardware configurations

Most web hosting providers, incl. us at Fireband Cloud, provide different hardware architectures you can select from in keeping with your needs. The hardware configurations offer different types of microprocessors, a different amount of cores, different RAM and server hard drive sizes and different monthly bandwidth quotas. You can select a Control Panel, which is a useful user interface if you want to utilize the dedicated web hosting servers for hosting purposes solely and prefer not to resort to a Secure Shell client for all the modifications you will be making. We provide 3 kinds of Control Panel software - Hepsia, DirectAdmin and cPanel.

The hosting Control Panel of your choosing

If you are a confident Linux OS user (our dedicated web hosting servers are powered by Linux or other Unix-based OSs), you could administer your dedicated server web hosting via an SSH tunnel exclusively. That, though, could be awkward, especially if you choose to grant root access to somebody else who has less technical proficiency than yourself. That is why having hosting Control Panel software installed is a great idea. The Hepsia web hosting CP GUI that we offer does not include full root-level access and is mostly suitable for someone who owns a lot of web sites that consume a lot of system resources, but wishes to manage the websites, databases and electronic mails via a user-friendly hosting Control Panel. The DirectAdmin and cPanel web hosting Control Panels, on the other hand, grant complete root-level access and have three access levels - root, reseller and user. If you plan to resell web hosting packages rather than using the dedicated web hosting servers solely for yourself, you should choose one of these two.

Server monitoring and backup services

Last but not least, there is the issue of monitoring the dedicated web hosting servers and of backing it up. In case of a problem with your dedicated hosting web server, such as an unresponsive Apache or a network outage, it is good to have some kind of monitoring platform enabled. Here at Fireband Cloud the system administrators monitor all dedicated web hosting servers for ping timeouts, and, if you have a Managed Services package, they monitor the separate services on the dedicated web hosting servers 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 type of RAID that would allow you to keep the same data on 2 server hard disk drives as a precaution in case of a server hard disk drive failure, or in case someone whom you have ranted complete server root access deletes something by accident.
