How Does Dedicated Hosting Operate?

When we speak of hosting servers, there are three major types - shared web hosting servers, VPS (virtual hosting servers) and dedicated hosting servers. Shared hosting web servers accommodate a lot of clients and hence the resources per web hosting account are restricted, virtual private server packages give you more server configuration independence, but also influence other virtual private web hosting servers on the hardware node if used heedlessly, and dedicated servers offer you the chance to do everything you want without interfering with anyone else.

Why would you require a dedicated hosting server?

Dedicated servers are traditionally much more high-priced than shared servers or virtual private web hosting servers. Why would anyone, then, want to use them? The answer is pretty simple. If your firm has a resource-consuming web page, or simply has very exact web server setup requirements, the right choice would be a dedicated server. For someone who is willing to invest in safety and stability, the higher price is not a concern. You get complete root access and can use 100% of the web hosting server's system resources without anyone else using these system resources and meddling with your sites.

Hardware specs

Most web hosting providers, including us at THEITCAFE.IN, offer several different hardware architectures you can choose from according to your necessities. The hardware architectures include different types of processors, a different amount of cores, different RAM memory and server hard disk drive sizes and different monthly bandwidth quotas. You can select a hosting CP, which is a handy tool if you wish to utilize the dedicated hosting web server for web hosting purposes only and choose not to resort to an SSH terminal for all the changes you will be making. We provide three kinds of hosting Control Panel software - Hepsia, DirectAdmin and cPanel.

The hosting CP of your preference

If you are a self-confident Linux user (our web servers are powered by Linux or other Unix-based OSs), you could manage your dedicated server via SSH exclusively. That, however, could be inconvenient, especially if you decide to grant access to somebody else who has less technical expertise than yourself. This is why having web hosting Control Panel software activated is an excellent idea. The Hepsia hosting Control Panel software that we offer does not include full root privileges and is chiefly appropriate for someone who has plenty of online portals that demand lots of resources, but would like to administer the sites, databases and e-mailboxes using an easy-to-use web hosting Control Panel. The DirectAdmin and cPanel hosting Control Panels, on the other hand, grant complete server root access and include 3 levels of access - root, reseller and user. If you intend to resell web hosting plans instead of using the dedicated hosting server just 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 hosting server and of backing it up. In the event of a problem with your server, such as an unresponsive Apache or a network outage, it is desirable to have some kind of monitoring platform activated. Here at THEITCAFE.IN 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 too. Backups are also an additional feature - the hosting provider offers you data backups on our own backup servers. You could select a kind of RAID that would allow you to save the same data on two disk drives as a protective measure in the event of a server hard disk drive failure, or in case someone whom you have given full server root access deletes something by mistake.
