What Does Dedicated Hosting Signify?

When we talk about web hosting servers, there are 3 major sorts - shared hosting web servers, VPS (virtual private hosting servers) and dedicated hosting servers. Shared servers host a lot of customers and hence the system resources per web hosting account are restricted, virtual private server packages give you more server configuration independence, but also affect other VPS web servers on the hardware node if utilized unwisely, and dedicated servers give you the chance to do everything you like without meddling with anyone else.

Why would you need a dedicated hosting server?

Dedicated servers are traditionally much more expensive than shared hosting servers or VPS web servers. Why would anyone, then, want to use them? The answer is very simple. If your corporation has a large-scale website, or simply has very precise web server architecture requirements, the most logical choice is a dedicated server. For someone who is prepared to invest in security and dependability, the higher price is not an issue. You receive complete root access and can use 100% of the dedicated hosting server's system resources without anyone else using these system resources and messing with your web sites.

Hardware architectures

The majority of web hosting companies, including us at Comnet Cloud Solutions, offer several hardware architectures you can select from in accordance with your needs. The configurations offer different types of microprocessors, a different number of cores, different RAM memory and hard disk drive sizes and different bandwidth allowances. You can pick a Control Panel, which is a handy graphical user interface if you would like to utilize the dedicated server for web hosting purposes only and choose not to use an SSH terminal for all the modifications you will be making. We offer 3 kinds of web hosting Control Panel software - Hepsia, DirectAdmin and cPanel.

The web hosting CP of your choice

If you are a self-reliant Linux OS user (our hosting servers are powered by Linux or other Unix-based OSs), you could administer your dedicated server via SSH exclusively. That, however, could be inconvenient, especially if you decide to grant complete root-level access to someone else who has less technical knowledge than yourself. That is why having web hosting CP software pre-installed is an excellent idea. The Hepsia Control Panel GUI that we offer does not give you full root privileges and is chiefly appropriate for somebody who maintains a lot of websites that demand a lot of system resources, but prefers to manage the web sites, databases and email accounts through an intuitive web hosting Control Panel. The DirectAdmin and cPanel Control Panels, on the other hand, give you full server root access and offer three levels of access - root, reseller and user. If you intend to resell hosting plans instead of utilizing the dedicated web hosting server only 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 hosting server and of backing it up. In the event of a problem with your web server, like a non-responsive Apache or an outage, it is desirable to have some sort of monitoring platform activated. Here at Comnet Cloud Solutions 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 hosting server as well. Backups are also an additional option - the web hosting distributor offers you data backups on our own backup servers. You could choose a type of RAID that would allow you to save the same data on 2 disk drives as a precaution in the event of a server disk drive failure, or in case someone whom you have ranted complete root-level access deletes something unintentionally.
