Dedicated Server Hosting Description

When we speak of hosting servers, there are 3 major varieties - shared hosting servers, VPS (virtual hosting servers) and dedicated servers. Shared web servers accommodate lots of clients and hence the resources per user account are limited, VPS hosting offer more configuration freedom, but also influence other VPS web hosting servers on the hardware node if used unwisely, and dedicated hosting servers give you the autonomy to do everything you see fit without intervening with anyone else.

Why would you need a dedicated hosting servers?

Dedicated hosting servers are usually much more high-priced than shared hosting servers or VPS web servers. Why would anyone, then, want to use them? The explanation is very simple. If your company has a heavy-traffic online portal, or simply has very precise web server architecture requirements, the most suitable option is a dedicated hosting servers. For somebody who is inclined to invest in safety and stability, the bigger price is of no importance. You are granted complete root access and can utilize 100% of the physical server's resources without anyone else availing of these resources and meddling with your web sites.

Hardware specifications

Most website hosting companies, incl. us at Network Bazar, provide several different hardware configurations you can choose from depending on your requirements. The hardware configurations offer different kinds of processors, a different amount of cores, different RAM and server hard drive sizes and different bandwidth allowances. You can select a hosting Control Panel, which is a convenient interface if you wish to utilize the dedicated hosting servers for website hosting purposes only and choose not to resort to a Secure Shell terminal for all the modifications you will be making. We offer three sorts of web hosting Control Panel software - Hepsia, DirectAdmin and cPanel.

The hosting CP of your choice

If you are a self-assured Linux OS user (our hosting servers are powered by Linux or other Unix-based OSs), you could manage your dedicated servers through a Secure Shell client only. That, however, could be inconvenient, even more so if you want to grant root privileges to someone else who has less technical abilities than yourself. That is why having Control Panel software pre-activated is a nice idea. The Hepsia Control Panel tool that we provide does not offer root-level access and is chiefly suitable for someone who maintains lots of web pages that demand a lot of system resources, but would rather manage the web sites, databases and email boxes via an easy-to-use hosting Control Panel. The DirectAdmin and cPanel hosting CPs, on the other hand, give you full root privileges and offer three levels of access - root, reseller and user. If you intend to resell hosting packages rather than utilizing the dedicated hosting servers only for yourself, you should pick one of these two.

Server monitoring and backup services

Last but not least, there is the issue of monitoring the dedicated hosting servers and of backing it up. In the event of a predicament with your web hosting server, such as an unresponsive Apache or an outage, it is desirable to have some kind of monitoring platform enabled. Here at Network Bazar the system administrators monitor all dedicated hosting servers for ping timeouts, and, if you order a Managed Services upgrade, they monitor the individual services on the dedicated hosting servers as well. Backups are also a bonus option - the web hosting company offers you data backups on our own backup web servers. You could pick a type of RAID that would allow you to have the same data on 2 server disk drives as a precaution in case of a server hard disk failure, or in case someone whom you have given full root privileges erases something by accident.
