Dedicated Hosting Disclosed

When we talk about hosting servers, there are three principal varieties - shared website hosting servers, VPS (private virtual web servers) and dedicated servers. Shared servers accommodate many clients and thus the resources per user account are restricted, VPS packages offer more configuration independence, but also affect other virtual private hosting servers on the hardware node if utilized imprudently, and dedicated servers offer you the possibility to perform everything you think fit without intervening with anyone else.

Why would you require a dedicated server?

Dedicated servers are generally much more high-priced than shared servers or virtual private hosting servers. Why would anyone, then, use them? The explanation is pretty simple. If your firm has a high resource-consuming web portal, or just has very precise server configuration requirements, the right option would be a dedicated server. For someone who is ready to invest in security and reliability, the greater price is not a concern. You acquire complete server root access and can utilize 100 percent of the physical machine's system resources without anyone else using these resources and messing with your web pages.

Hardware configurations

The majority of hosting corporations, including us at YASPE, offer different hardware architectures you can choose from on the basis of your necessities. The hardware configurations offer different varieties of processors, a different amount of cores, different RAM and hard disk sizes and different bandwidth allowances. You can select a hosting CP, which is a handy software tool if you want to use the dedicated web server for web hosting purposes solely and choose not to resort to an SSH client for all the changes you will be making. We provide 3 types of web hosting CP software - Hepsia, DirectAdmin and cPanel.

The hosting CP of your preference

If you are a confident Linux user (our hosting servers are running on Linux or other Unix-based OSs), you could manage your dedicated server via an SSH connection exclusively. That, however, could be inconvenient, especially if you choose to grant full root-level access to somebody else who has less technical skills than yourself. That is why having web hosting CP software pre-installed is a clever idea. The Hepsia web hosting Control Panel interface that we provide does not offer root-level access and is mostly suitable for someone who runs many web pages that consume a lot of resources, but desires to manage the online portals, databases and electronic mail accounts through a user-friendly web hosting CP. The DirectAdmin and cPanel hosting Control Panels, on the other hand, give you root-level access and include three levels of access - root, reseller and user. If you intend to resell web hosting accounts rather than using the dedicated web hosting server just for yourself, you should select one of these two.

Server monitoring and backup services

Last but not least, there is the issue of monitoring the dedicated server and of backing it up. In case of a problem with your dedicated server, such as an unresponsive Apache or an outage, it is desirable to have some kind of monitoring system enabled. Here at YASPE the system administrators monitor all dedicated servers for ping timeouts, and, if you have a Managed Services package, they monitor the individual services on the dedicated server as well. Backups are also a bonus feature - the web hosting supplier offers you data backups on our own backup web servers. You could choose a kind of RAID that would allow you to store the same data on two server disk drives as a protective measure in case of a hard disk drive failure, or in case someone whom you have given full server root access erases something by accident.
