Explanation of Dedicated Packages

When we talk about web hosting servers, there are 3 principal categories - hosting servers, VPS (virtual web servers) and dedicated packages. Shared web hosting servers host multiple clients and so the resources per hosting account are limited, VPS offer more configuration autonomy, but also influence other Virtual Private Servers on the hardware node if utilized imprudently, and dedicated servers give you the liberty to carry out everything you desire without messing with anyone else.

Why would you require a dedicated servers?

Dedicated servers are commonly much more expensive than shared web servers or private virtual servers. Why would anyone, then, want to use them? The explanation is rather simple. If your corporation has a high resource-consuming web site, or just has very precise web server setup requirements, the wisest choice is a dedicated servers. For someone who is inclined to invest in security and reliability, the bigger price is of no importance. You get full server root access and can utilize 100 percent of the dedicated web hosting server's system resources without anyone else sharing these resources and meddling with your web sites.

Hardware configurations

The majority of hosting suppliers, incl. us at DMZ Hosting, offer several different hardware architectures you can select from in accordance with your necessities. The configurations offer different sorts of microprocessors, a different amount of cores, different RAM memory and hard drive sizes and different monthly bandwidth allowances. You can select a Control Panel, which is useful software if you want to utilize the dedicated servers for website hosting purposes solely and prefer not to resort to a Secure Shell client for all the modifications you will be making. We provide 3 kinds of Control Panel software - Hepsia, DirectAdmin and cPanel.

The Control Panel of your preference

If you are a confident Linux OS user (our dedicated hosting web servers are powered by Linux or other Unix-based OSs), you could manage your dedicated packages via a Secure Shell connection exclusively. That, though, could be awkward, particularly if you wish to give full server root privileges to someone else who has less technical knowledge than yourself. This is why having Control Panel software pre-activated is an excellent idea. The Hepsia hosting CP software tool that we provide does not offer root access and is mainly suitable for somebody who runs plenty of web sites that swallow plenty of system resources, but desires to administer the sites, databases and email box accounts through an easy-to-use hosting Control Panel. The DirectAdmin and cPanel hosting Control Panels, on the other hand, give you complete root-level access and offer three access levels - root, reseller and user. If you intend to resell web hosting accounts rather than using the dedicated servers just for yourself, you should choose one of these two.

Web server monitoring and backup services

Last but not least, there is the issue of monitoring the dedicated servers and of backing it up. In case of a problem with your dedicated web hosting server, like a non-responsive Apache or a downtime, it is good to have some kind of monitoring platform activated. Here at DMZ Hosting the system administrators monitor all dedicated servers for ping timeouts, and, if you have a Managed Services package, they monitor the separate services on the dedicated servers as well. Backups are also an extra feature - the web hosting services provider offers you data backups on our own backup servers. You could choose a type of RAID that would allow you to store the very same data on two server hard drives as a protective measure in the event of a server hard disk failure, or in case someone whom you have ranted complete server root access erases something by mistake.
