What Do Dedicated Servers Denote?

When we speak of hosting servers, there are 3 major sorts - shared hosting servers, VPS (private virtual servers) and dedicated servers. Shared web servers host plenty of clients and therefore the resources per hosting account are restricted, virtual private servers give you more server configuration autonomy, but also affect other Virtual Private Servers on the hardware node if used unwisely, and dedicated servers give you the option to carry out everything you like without interfering with anyone else.

Why would you require a dedicated servers?

Dedicated servers are generally much more high-priced than shared servers or VPS web servers. Why would anyone, then, use them? The explanation is quite simple. If your company has a high resource-demanding web site, or just has very explicit web server setup requirements, the wisest choice is a dedicated servers. For someone who is prepared to invest in safety and dependability, the bigger price is not a concern. You receive complete root access and can utilize 100% of the dedicated server's resources without anyone else availing of these system resources and interfering with your web pages.

Hardware architectures

The majority of website hosting suppliers, incl. us at E PowerWeb, offer several different hardware configurations you can pick from depending on your needs. The hardware architectures offer different types of microprocessors, a different number of cores, different RAM and hard disk sizes and different bandwidth quotas. You can pick a hosting CP, which is a useful graphical user interface if you want to use the dedicated servers for web hosting purposes only and prefer not to use an SSH terminal for all the modifications you will be making. We provide 3 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 hosting servers are powered by Linux or other Unix-based Operating Systems), you could administer your dedicated servers via an SSH console only. That, though, could be inconvenient, particularly if you want to give complete root access to someone else who has less technical experience than yourself. This is why having web hosting CP software pre-activated is a great idea. The Hepsia Control Panel user interface that we offer does not give you complete root access and is chiefly appropriate for somebody who maintains lots of web sites that swallow plenty of system resources, but prefers to administer the web pages, databases and email box accounts via an easy-to-use web hosting CP. The DirectAdmin and cPanel hosting CPs, on the other hand, give you root privileges and include 3 access levels - root, reseller and user. If you plan to resell web hosting plans instead of utilizing the dedicated servers solely 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 servers and of backing it up. In the event of a problem with your dedicated hosting server, like an unresponsive Apache or a network outage, it is good to have some sort of monitoring system activated. Here at E PowerWeb the system administrators monitor all dedicated servers for ping timeouts, and, if you order a Managed Services upgrade, they monitor the individual services on the dedicated servers too. Backups are also an additional option - the hosting distributor offers you data backups on our own backup web servers. You could choose a kind of RAID that would permit you to have the same data on 2 server disk drives as a protective measure in case of a server hard drive failure, or in case someone whom you have given root access deletes something unintentionally.
