Dedicated Servers Description

When we speak of hosting servers, there are three main types - shared hosting servers, VPS (virtual hosting servers) and dedicated hosting servers. Shared web servers host a lot of clients and therefore the system resources per account are limited, virtual private server packages give you more configuration freedom, but also affect other virtual private web servers on the hardware node if utilized rashly, and dedicated servers give you the chance to do everything you prefer without messing with anyone else.

Why would you need a dedicated hosting server?

Dedicated servers are commonly much more expensive than shared web servers or virtual private web servers. Why would anyone, then, use them? The reply is quite simple. If your firm has a heavy resource-swallowing web page, or just has very specific server configuration requirements, the wisest option is a dedicated server. For somebody who is inclined to invest in safety and dependability, the bigger price is not a problem. You get full root access and can utilize 100 percent of the web server's system resources without anyone else utilizing these resources and messing with your websites.

Hardware configurations

Most shared hosting service providers, including us at Amaacon Web Hosting, offer different hardware configurations you can pick from based on your demands. The hardware architectures offer different varieties of microprocessors, a different amount of cores, different RAM and hard disk sizes and different monthly traffic allowances. You can choose a Control Panel, which is a handy user interface if you would like to use the dedicated web hosting server for website hosting purposes solely and prefer not to resort to an SSH console for all the changes you will be making. We provide three types of Control Panel software - Hepsia, DirectAdmin and cPanel.

The web hosting Control Panel of your preference

If you are a self-confident Linux user (our dedicated hosting web servers are powered by Linux or other Unix-based Operating Systems), you could administer your dedicated server via SSH exclusively. That, though, could be inconvenient, particularly if you decide to give root privileges to someone else who has less technical abilities than yourself. That is why having hosting Control Panel software pre-activated is a nice idea. The Hepsia web hosting Control Panel graphical user interface that we offer does not give you complete server root access and is chiefly appropriate for somebody who maintains multiple web portals that absorb a lot of system resources, but would like to administer the web sites, databases and electronic mails through an easy-to-use hosting CP. The DirectAdmin and cPanel hosting CPs, on the other hand, grant full server root privileges and include three levels of access - root, reseller and user. If you intend to resell web hosting plans rather than utilizing the dedicated web hosting server solely for yourself, you should pick one of these two.

Web server monitoring and backup procedures

Last but not least, there is the issue of monitoring the dedicated hosting server and of backing it up. In case of a problem with your dedicated web hosting server, such as an unresponsive Apache or an outage, it is desirable to have some sort of monitoring platform activated. Here at Amaacon Web Hosting 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 web hosting distributor offers you data backups on our own backup web servers. You could pick a type of RAID that would permit you to keep the very same data on two server hard disks as a precaution in case of a server hard disk drive failure, or in case someone whom you have ranted full root access erases something by mistake.
