What Do Dedicated Hosting Servers Denote?

When we talk about web hosting servers, there are 3 main sorts - web hosting servers, VPS (virtual private hosting servers) and dedicated hosting. Shared servers host a lot of clients and thus the system resources per user account are restricted, VPS hosting offer more server configuration independence, but also affect other virtual hosting servers on the hardware node if utilized rashly, and dedicated hosting servers offer you the liberty to carry out everything you please without intervening with anyone else.

Why would you need a dedicated hosting servers?

Dedicated hosting servers are traditionally much more expensive than shared web servers or private virtual web servers. Why would anyone, then, want to use them? The explanation is rather simple. If your company has a high resource-demanding web portal, or just has very exact server setup requirements, the right choice would be a dedicated hosting servers. For someone who is prepared to invest in safety and stability, the higher price is of no importance. You get full root-level access and can use 100% of the physical machine's resources without anyone else using these system resources and intervening with your sites.

Hardware configurations

The majority of website hosting companies, including us at MerwinServers, provide several different hardware architectures you can pick from in line with your needs. The hardware architectures include different types of processors, a different number of cores, different RAM memory and hard disk sizes and different web traffic allowances. You can choose a hosting CP, which is a convenient GUI if you would like to use the dedicated hosting servers for website hosting purposes solely and prefer not to use an SSH client for all the changes you will be making. We offer 3 kinds of hosting CP software - Hepsia, DirectAdmin and cPanel.

The web hosting Control Panel of your preference

If you are a confident Linux user (our web hosting servers are running on Linux or other Unix-based OSs), you could administer your dedicated hosting via a Secure Shell tunnel only. That, however, could be inconvenient, even more so if you wish to grant full server root access to someone else who has less technical skills than yourself. That is why having web hosting CP software activated is a clever idea. The Hepsia hosting CP tool that we offer does not include complete server root access and is mainly appropriate for somebody who maintains a lot of websites that swallow plenty of system resources, but would like to administer the websites, databases and email box accounts via an intuitive hosting CP. The DirectAdmin and cPanel web hosting Control Panels, on the other hand, grant complete root access and offer 3 levels of access - root, reseller and user. If you plan to resell web hosting plans instead of utilizing the dedicated hosting servers just for yourself, you should select one of these two.

Server monitoring and backup services

Last but not least, there is the matter of monitoring the dedicated hosting servers and of backing it up. In the event of a predicament with your web server, like an unresponsive Apache or a network downtime, it is advisable to have some kind of monitoring platform activated. Here at MerwinServers the system administrators monitor all dedicated hosting servers for ping timeouts, and, if you have a Managed Services package, they monitor the separate services on the dedicated hosting servers as well. Backups are also an extra option - the web hosting solutions provider offers you data backups on our own backup web servers. You could pick a type of RAID that would permit you to save the very same data on 2 server hard disks as a protective measure in case of a server hard disk failure, or in case someone whom you have given full server root privileges erases something by accident.
