Dedicated Servers Explanation

When we talk about hosting servers, there are 3 basic sorts - shared hosting servers, VPS (virtual private web hosting servers) and dedicated servers. Shared web servers accommodate a lot of clients and hence the resources per user account are limited, virtual private servers offer more configuration liberty, but also affect other private virtual web servers on the hardware node if utilized unwisely, and dedicated servers give you the independence to carry out everything you think fit without meddling with anyone else.

Why would you require a dedicated servers?

Dedicated servers are commonly much more high-priced than shared hosting web servers or virtual web hosting servers. Why would anyone, then, want to use them? The explanation is rather simple. If your corporation has a frequently visited web portal, or just has very exact web server architecture requirements, the smartest choice would be a dedicated servers. For somebody who is ready to invest in security and dependability, the higher price is not an issue. You acquire complete server root access and can use 100 percent of the dedicated web server's system resources without anyone else using these resources and interfering with your web sites.

Hardware specs

Most web hosting suppliers, incl. us at One 4 All Networks, offer several hardware architectures you can pick from according to your needs. The hardware configurations offer different sorts of microprocessors, a different amount of cores, different RAM memory and disk drive sizes and different traffic usage quotas. You can choose a Control Panel, which is a convenient tool if you want to use the dedicated servers for website hosting purposes solely and choose not to use a Secure Shell console for all the modifications you will be making. We offer three sorts of web hosting Control Panel software - Hepsia, DirectAdmin and cPanel.

The Control Panel of your choice

If you are a self-reliant Linux OS user (our dedicated web hosting servers are running on Linux or other Unix-based OSs), you could manage your dedicated servers via a Secure Shell terminal only. That, though, could be awkward, especially if you want to grant full server root privileges to someone else who has less technical abilities than yourself. That is why having web hosting Control Panel software pre-installed is an intelligent idea. The Hepsia hosting Control Panel software tool that we offer does not include complete root-level access and is mainly appropriate for someone who runs numerous online portals that demand lots of system resources, but wishes to administer the web portals, databases and mailbox accounts using an easy-to-use web hosting Control Panel. The DirectAdmin and cPanel web hosting CPs, on the other hand, give you root-level access and offer 3 levels of access - root, reseller and user. If you intend to resell hosting plans rather than utilizing the dedicated servers just for yourself, you should select one of these two.

Server monitoring and backup services

Last but not least, there is the matter of monitoring the dedicated servers and of backing it up. In the event of a predicament with your hosting server, like a non-responsive Apache or a network downtime, it is useful to have some kind of monitoring platform enabled. Here at One 4 All Networks 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 too. Backups are also an additional feature - the web hosting distributor offers you data backups on our own backup servers. You could pick a type of RAID that would allow you to keep the very same data on 2 hard disks as a precaution in the event of a disk drive failure, or in case someone whom you have given complete root access erases something by mistake.
