Dedicated Hosting Servers Clarified

When we speak of web hosting servers, there are three major categories - shared hosting servers, VPS (virtual hosting servers) and dedicated servers. Shared servers host many customers and thus the system resources per user account are restricted, VPS hosting offer more configuration liberty, but also affect other virtual private hosting servers on the hardware node if utilized imprudently, and dedicated hosting servers offer you the freedom to carry out everything you like without interfering with anyone else.

Why would you require a dedicated hosting servers?

Dedicated hosting servers are generally much more expensive than shared web servers or private virtual web hosting servers. Why would anyone, then, use them? The answer is rather simple. If your firm has a high resource-devouring online portal, or just has very exact server setup requirements, the most appropriate option would be a dedicated hosting servers. For someone who is ready to invest in safety and stability, the greater price is not an issue. You gain complete root access and can utilize 100 percent of the hosting server's system resources without anyone else sharing these resources and meddling with your websites.

Hardware architectures

Most website hosting firms, including us at JITTY, provide several different hardware architectures you can choose from on the basis of your needs. The hardware configurations include different sorts of processors, a different number of cores, different RAM memory and hard disk drive sizes and different monthly traffic quotas. You can pick a Control Panel, which is a handy tool if you would like to utilize the dedicated hosting servers for web hosting purposes solely and prefer not to use an SSH client for all the modifications you will be making. We offer 3 kinds of hosting CP software - Hepsia, DirectAdmin and cPanel.

The web hosting CP of your preference

If you are a self-reliant Linux OS user (our servers are powered by Linux or other Unix-based Operating Systems), you could administer your dedicated servers through an SSH connection only. That, though, could be awkward, even more so if you decide to give full root-level access to someone else who has less technical proficiency than yourself. That is why having web hosting Control Panel software activated is a great idea. The Hepsia hosting CP graphical user interface that we provide does not give you complete root-level access and is chiefly suitable for somebody who has multiple web sites that demand plenty of system resources, but prefers to manage the web sites, databases and mailbox accounts using an easy-to-use hosting CP. The DirectAdmin and cPanel hosting CPs, on the other hand, give you full server root access and include three access levels - root, reseller and user. If you intend to resell hosting accounts instead of utilizing the dedicated hosting servers solely for yourself, you should pick one of these two.

Server monitoring and backup procedures

Last but not least, there is the issue of monitoring the dedicated hosting servers 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 good to have some sort of monitoring system activated. Here at JITTY 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 too. Backups are also an extra option - the web hosting company offers you data backups on our own backup servers. You could select a type of RAID that would permit you to have the very same data on two hard disks as a precaution in the event of a server hard disk failure, or in case someone whom you have given root-level access deletes something by mistake.
