Dedicated Web Hosting Explanation
When we talk about hosting web servers, there are three major varieties - website hosting servers, VPS (virtual private web servers) and dedicated web hosting. Shared web servers accommodate plenty of clients and therefore the resources per web hosting account are restricted, VPS web hosting give you more server configuration autonomy, but also affect other virtual web servers on the hardware node if utilized rashly, and dedicated web hosting servers offer you the chance to do everything you think fit without interfering with anyone else.
Why would you need a dedicated web hosting servers?
Dedicated web hosting servers are traditionally much more high-priced than shared web hosting servers or private virtual web servers. Why would anyone, then, want to use them? The answer is pretty simple. If your firm has a heavy resource-consuming web page, or just has very exact server setup requirements, the most logical option is a dedicated web hosting servers. For somebody who is prepared to invest in safety and dependability, the higher price is not a problem. You gain complete root-level access and can use 100 percent of the physical server's system resources without anyone else sharing these resources and meddling with your websites.
Hardware specifications
Most hosting providers, incl. us at Start Hosts, provide several hardware configurations you can choose from depending on your requirements. The configurations include different varieties of processors, a different amount of cores, different RAM memory and disk drive sizes and different monthly traffic usage quotas. You can pick a web hosting Control Panel, which is a useful tool if you want to utilize the dedicated web hosting servers for hosting purposes solely and choose not to use an SSH client for all the modifications you will be making. We provide three types of web hosting Control Panel software - Hepsia, DirectAdmin and cPanel.
The web hosting CP of your choosing
If you are a self-assured Linux user (our dedicated web hosting servers are powered by Linux or other Unix-based OSs), you could administer your dedicated web hosting via a Secure Shell tunnel only. That, though, could be inconvenient, particularly if you wish to give complete root access to somebody else who has less technical proficiency than yourself. That is why having hosting CP software pre-installed is a bright idea. The Hepsia Control Panel GUI that we provide does not include complete server root access and is mainly suitable for someone who owns numerous web portals that demand plenty of system resources, but would rather manage the web pages, databases and email mailbox accounts via an easy-to-use hosting Control Panel. The DirectAdmin and cPanel web hosting CPs, on the other hand, grant complete server root access and have three levels of access - root, reseller and user. If you plan to resell hosting packages instead of utilizing the dedicated web hosting servers solely for yourself, you should pick one of these two.
Web server monitoring and backup services
Last but not least, there is the issue of monitoring the dedicated web hosting servers and of backing it up. In the event of a problem with your web server, such as a non-responsive Apache or a network downtime, it is desirable to have some kind of monitoring system activated. Here at Start Hosts the system administrators monitor all dedicated web hosting servers for ping timeouts, and, if you have a Managed Services package, they monitor the separate services on the dedicated web hosting servers as well. Backups are also an extra option - the web hosting services provider offers you data backups on our own backup web servers. You could choose a kind of RAID that would permit you to save the same data on 2 disk drives as a precaution in case of a server hard disk failure, or in case someone whom you have ranted complete root-level access erases something accidentally.
