How Dedicated Hosting Servers Work

When we talk about hosting servers, there are three main types - web hosting servers, VPS (virtual private web servers) and dedicated hosting. Shared web servers accommodate multiple clients and thus the system resources per web hosting account are restricted, VPS hosting give you more server configuration independence, but also affect other virtual servers on the hardware node if utilized heedlessly, and dedicated hosting servers give you the option to carry out everything you choose without messing with anyone else.

Why would you require a dedicated hosting servers?

Dedicated hosting servers are normally much more high-priced than shared web hosting servers or private virtual web hosting servers. Why would anyone, then, use them? The reply is very simple. If your company has a heavy resource-demanding website, or just has very explicit server setup requirements, the most intelligent choice 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 are bestowed with full root privileges and can utilize 100 percent of the dedicated hosting web server's resources without anyone else availing of these system resources and intervening with your web portals.

Hardware architectures

The majority of web hosting corporations, incl. us at TNG Web Host, offer several hardware architectures you can pick from in consonance with your demands. The hardware configurations offer different kinds of microprocessors, a different number of cores, different RAM memory and hard disk sizes and different web traffic quotas. You can choose a hosting CP, which is a handy GUI if you would like to use the dedicated hosting servers for web hosting purposes only and choose not to use an SSH console for all the changes you will be making. We offer three sorts of hosting Control Panel software - Hepsia, DirectAdmin and cPanel.

The hosting Control Panel of your choice

If you are a confident Linux user (our dedicated servers are running on Linux or other Unix-based OSs), you could manage your dedicated hosting through an SSH console exclusively. That, though, could be awkward, particularly if you wish to give full server root privileges to someone else who has less technical skills than yourself. This is why having Control Panel software pre-installed is an excellent idea. The Hepsia hosting Control Panel interface that we provide does not offer full server root privileges and is mostly appropriate for someone who runs multiple online portals that devour a lot of resources, but wishes to manage the sites, databases and emails via an intuitive web hosting Control Panel. The DirectAdmin and cPanel web hosting CPs, on the other hand, give you full root privileges and have three levels of access - root, reseller and user. If you plan to resell web hosting plans instead of utilizing the dedicated hosting servers only for yourself, you should choose 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 case of a predicament with your server, like a non-responsive Apache or a network outage, it is useful to have some kind of monitoring system activated. Here at TNG Web Host the system administrators monitor all dedicated hosting servers for ping timeouts, and, if you have a Managed Services package, they monitor the individual services on the dedicated hosting servers as well. Backups are also an additional feature - the web hosting supplier offers you data backups on our own backup web servers. You could select a kind of RAID that would allow you to keep the very same data on two hard drives as a protective measure in the event of a server hard disk drive failure, or in case someone whom you have given root privileges erases something by accident.
