Dedicated Servers Disclosed

When we talk about hosting servers, there are 3 major sorts - shared web hosting web servers, VPS (virtual private hosting servers) and dedicated servers. Shared web hosting servers host lots of clients and hence the resources per hosting account are limited, virtual private server packages offer more server configuration freedom, but also affect other private virtual web hosting servers on the hardware node if utilized rashly, and dedicated servers offer you the chance to do everything you prefer without interfering with anyone else.

Why would you require a dedicated server?

Dedicated servers are typically much more high-priced than shared servers or private virtual web hosting servers. Why would anyone, then, want to use them? The explanation is pretty simple. If your corporation has a resource-requiring website, or simply has very precise web server configuration requirements, the most appropriate option is a dedicated server. For somebody who is inclined to invest in security and stability, the higher price is of no concern. You acquire root access and can utilize 100% of the dedicated hosting web server's resources without anyone else availing of these resources and interfering with your web sites.

Hardware architectures

Most shared hosting suppliers, incl. us at Your Personal Server, provide different hardware architectures you can pick from as per your necessities. The configurations offer different types of microprocessors, a different number of cores, different RAM memory and server disk drive sizes and different traffic quotas. You can select a web hosting Control Panel, which is a useful graphical user interface if you wish to utilize the web server for website hosting purposes only and prefer not to resort to a Secure Shell terminal for all the changes you will be making. We provide 3 sorts of web hosting CP software - Hepsia, DirectAdmin and cPanel.

The hosting CP of your choosing

If you are a self-assured Linux user (our hosting servers are running on Linux or other Unix-based Operating Systems), you could manage your dedicated server through an SSH connection exclusively. That, though, could be inconvenient, particularly if you choose to give root privileges to somebody else who has less technical experience than yourself. This is why having web hosting CP software pre-activated is a nice idea. The Hepsia hosting Control Panel software that we offer does not give you root-level access and is chiefly suitable for someone who owns numerous web pages that demand plenty of resources, but desires to manage the websites, databases and electronic mail accounts using a user-friendly hosting CP. The DirectAdmin and cPanel hosting Control Panels, on the other hand, grant root-level access and offer three levels of access - root, reseller and user. If you plan to resell web hosting plans instead of using the dedicated hosting server 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 server and of backing it up. In the event of a predicament with your dedicated web hosting server, like a non-responsive Apache or an outage, it is good to have some sort of monitoring platform activated. Here at Your Personal Server 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 server as well. Backups are also an extra feature - the hosting company offers you data backups on our own backup servers. You could select a kind of RAID that would permit you to store the very same data on 2 hard disks as a precaution in the event of a hard disk failure, or in case someone whom you have given full server root privileges deletes something accidentally.
