Dedicated Hosting Servers Definition

When we talk about web hosting servers, there are three major varieties - web hosting servers, VPS (virtual web servers) and dedicated hosting. Shared web servers host a lot of customers and hence the system resources per account are limited, VPS hosting give you more server configuration freedom, but also influence other VPS servers on the hardware node if used rashly, and dedicated hosting servers give you the possibility to do everything you decide without interfering with anyone else.

Why would you need a dedicated hosting servers?

Dedicated hosting servers are usually much more expensive than shared hosting web servers or private virtual web servers. Why would anyone, then, use them? The reply is pretty simple. If your corporation has a high resource-consuming online portal, or just has very explicit web server architecture requirements, the most logical choice is a dedicated hosting servers. For someone who is prepared to invest in security and stability, the greater price is of no concern. You are bestowed with full root privileges and can utilize 100% of the physical machine's system resources without anyone else using these system resources and messing with your online portals.

Hardware specs

Most website hosting distributors, including us at Nolusk, offer several hardware architectures you can pick from depending on your demands. The configurations include different sorts of processors, a different number of cores, different RAM and server disk drive sizes and different monthly bandwidth usage quotas. You can select a hosting Control Panel, which is a convenient interface if you would like to utilize the dedicated hosting servers for web hosting purposes solely and prefer not to use a Secure Shell terminal for all the changes you will be making. We provide 3 types of web hosting Control Panel software - Hepsia, DirectAdmin and cPanel.

The Control Panel of your choice

If you are a confident Linux OS user (our dedicated web hosting servers are running on Linux or other Unix-based Operating Systems), you could administer your dedicated hosting via SSH exclusively. That, though, could be inconvenient, even more so if you want to give complete server root access to somebody else who has less technical abilities than yourself. That is why having Control Panel software activated is a clever idea. The Hepsia web hosting Control Panel software that we offer does not offer root-level access and is mainly suitable for someone who has numerous online portals that demand a lot of resources, but wishes to administer the websites, databases and mail addresses using an easy-to-use hosting Control Panel. The DirectAdmin and cPanel hosting Control Panels, on the other hand, give you full server root privileges and offer three levels of access - root, reseller and user. If you intend to resell hosting packages instead of using the dedicated hosting servers only for yourself, you should select 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 the event of a problem with your web hosting server, such as an unresponsive Apache or a network downtime, it is good to have some sort of monitoring system enabled. Here at Nolusk 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 a bonus feature - the hosting provider offers you data backups on our own backup servers. You could pick a kind of RAID that would permit you to keep the very same data on 2 hard disk drives as a protective measure in the event of a server hard disk drive failure, or in case someone whom you have given access deletes something unintentionally.
