How Dedicated Web Hosting Servers Work

When we talk about hosting web servers, there are three basic varieties - shared web hosting servers, VPS (private virtual web servers) and dedicated server web hosting. Shared web hosting servers accommodate numerous clients and thus the resources per web hosting account are limited, VPS web hosting offer more configuration autonomy, but also influence other virtual web servers on the hardware node if utilized rashly, and dedicated web hosting servers offer you the independence to do everything you prefer 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 servers or VPS servers. Why would anyone, then, want to use them? The reply is rather simple. If your corporation has a resource-swallowing web page, or just has very specific server configuration requirements, the most reasonable option is a dedicated web hosting servers. For somebody who is willing to invest in security and reliability, the higher price is of no importance. You acquire full root privileges and can use 100 percent of the server's system resources without anyone else availing of these system resources and intervening with your sites.

Hardware configurations

The majority of web hosting suppliers, including us at Scriptrider Hosting, provide several different hardware configurations you can select from in accordance with your requirements. The hardware configurations include different kinds of processors, a different amount of cores, different RAM memory and server disk drive sizes and different monthly bandwidth allowances. You can pick a Control Panel, which is a handy interface if you would like to utilize the dedicated web hosting servers for web hosting purposes solely and prefer not to resort to a Secure Shell client for all the modifications you will be making. We provide three types of Control Panel software - Hepsia, DirectAdmin and cPanel.

The web hosting CP of your preference

If you are a self-reliant Linux OS user (our dedicated hosting web servers are running on Linux or other Unix-based Operating Systems), you could manage your dedicated web hosting servers via a Secure Shell terminal only. That, though, could be awkward, particularly if you choose to grant full server root access to someone else who has less technical abilities than yourself. This is why having Control Panel software pre-activated is an excellent idea. The Hepsia Control Panel GUI that we offer does not give you complete server root access and is chiefly suitable for someone who owns lots of web sites that require a lot of resources, but prefers to manage the web sites, databases and e-mail accounts through an easy-to-use hosting Control Panel. The DirectAdmin and cPanel web hosting Control Panels, on the other hand, give you full root privileges and include 3 access levels - root, reseller and user. If you plan to resell web hosting packages rather than utilizing the dedicated web hosting servers just for yourself, you should select one of these two.

Server monitoring and backup procedures

Last but not least, there is the matter of monitoring the dedicated web hosting servers and of backing it up. In the event of a predicament with your web hosting server, like an unresponsive Apache or a network outage, it is good to have some kind of monitoring platform activated. Here at Scriptrider Hosting 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 as well. Backups are also an extra feature - the hosting company offers you data backups on our own backup servers. You could choose a type of RAID that would permit you to have the same data on 2 hard disk drives as a precaution in case of a hard drive failure, or in case someone whom you have ranted full server root privileges deletes something accidentally.
