What Do Dedicated Web Hosting Servers Mean?

When we speak of hosting web servers, there are three main kinds - shared website hosting servers, VPS (virtual private web hosting servers) and dedicated web hosting servers. Shared hosting web servers accommodate multiple customers and thus the resources per account are limited, virtual private server packages give you more configuration autonomy, but also influence other VPSs on the hardware node if used heedlessly, and dedicated servers give you the possibility to perform everything you please without interfering with anyone else.

Why would you require a dedicated web hosting server?

Dedicated servers are usually much more high-priced than shared hosting servers or VPSs. Why would anyone, then, want to use them? The reply is rather simple. If your firm has a heavy resource-consuming site, or simply has very special server configuration requirements, the wisest option is a dedicated server. For somebody who is ready to invest in safety and stability, the bigger price is not a concern. You are bestowed with root privileges and can use 100% of the hosting server's system resources without anyone else utilizing these system resources and messing with your online portals.

Hardware specifications

Most shared web hosting service providers, incl. us at ComtechBd.com, provide several different hardware configurations you can pick from in line with your necessities. The hardware configurations include different sorts of microprocessors, a different amount of cores, different RAM memory and server disk drive sizes and different web traffic usage quotas. You can choose a hosting CP, which is a handy tool if you would like to use the hosting server for website hosting purposes solely and choose not to resort to SSH for all the changes you will be making. We offer three sorts of hosting CP software - Hepsia, DirectAdmin and cPanel.

The web hosting CP of your choice

If you are a self-confident Linux OS user (our dedicated servers are running on Linux or other Unix-based Operating Systems), you could manage your dedicated server through a Secure Shell client only. That, however, could be inconvenient, especially if you choose to grant full server root privileges to someone else who has less technical experience than yourself. This is why having web hosting Control Panel software installed is a smart idea. The Hepsia web hosting Control Panel GUI that we offer does not give you full root-level access and is mostly appropriate for someone who owns lots of web portals that require plenty of resources, but would like to manage the websites, databases and email mailboxes through an easy-to-use hosting Control Panel. The DirectAdmin and cPanel Control Panels, on the other hand, give you full root access and have three levels of access - root, reseller and user. If you intend to resell web hosting plans rather than utilizing the server solely 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 web hosting server and of backing it up. In the event of a problem with your dedicated hosting web server, such as an unresponsive Apache or a downtime, it is advisable to have some kind of monitoring system enabled. Here at ComtechBd.com 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 web hosting server as well. Backups are also a bonus feature - the hosting distributor offers you data backups on our own backup servers. You could select a kind of RAID that would permit you to save the same data on two hard disk drives as a protective measure in case of a disk drive failure, or in case someone whom you have given full server root access erases something by mistake.
